A Texas Longhorn named Lord Antioch arrived at Miller Park Zoo yesterday. He will be on exhibit next to the Children’s Zoo area. Heaven on Earth Ranch has agreed to donate the hay to feed the cattle
The seven-year-old steer weighs approximately 1,800 pounds and boasts 85 inches of horn. Last year, Lord Antioch’s arrival marked the first time the Zoo has had a Texas Longhorn in its animal collection.
“We’re excited to showcase this breed again at Miller Park Zoo,” said Jay Tetzloff, Miller Park Zoo Superintendent. “He was such a big hit last year. We had to bring him back.”
Texas Longhorns have been a registered breed since 1964. Lord Antioch will be housed with the Randall Lineback, another rare breed of cattle.
