s社2013重新出產的這款新公牛在塗裝上與老款比起來水準又是大大提升，原本老款不對稱的牛角也做了調整，公牛垂墜的頸部和下腹部的皮囊，軀幹點狀的噴色，眼部淺色塗裝等細節真讓人愛不釋手。
德州長角牛(資料來自於美國之音)
德克薩斯州最持久的一個象徵就是長角牛。這種牛的生命力非常堅韌，在19世紀時，由牛仔們帶到北方販賣，並且在西部各地被用來做繁殖用。曾經有一段時間，也就是在20世紀初期，隨著牧場主們開始飼養其他的品種，長角牛在數量上一度減少。但是，目前長角牛又再次流行起來。但是從歐洲來的其他品種最終取代了長角牛。到20世紀初，長角牛幾乎瀕臨絕種。不過，一小部份牧場主沒有放棄他們的長角牛，而且最近幾十年，這一品種又開始流行起來。
西班牙的殖民者最早是在大約500年前把長角牛帶到美洲大陸的，後來經由墨西哥，來到美國的德州。不過達穆思説，長角牛的起源恐怕還要更早。來自非洲和西班牙的長角牛本身非常強壯。在到美洲的長途運輸當中，那些本來不那麼強壯的長角牛在途中死去，活下來的要在更加艱苦的環境裏生存下去。只有那些最頑強的牛，才能在墨西哥北部和德州乾旱的平原上活下來。所以説，被稱為德州長角牛的這一品種要比它的祖先強壯的多。
Texas Longhorn (information from wikipedia)
The Texas Longhorn is a breed of cattle known for its characteristic horns, which can extend to 7 ft (2.1 m) tip to tip for steers and exceptional cows, and 36 to 80 in (0.91 to 2.0 m) tip to tip for bulls. Similar cattle were imported by Spanish colonists into other parts of North America, including California and Florida. Horns can have a slight upward turn at their tips or even triple twist. Texas Longhorns are known for their diverse coloring. A longhorn can be any color or mix of colors but dark red and white color mixes are the most dominant.
As Texas became more heavily settled following annexation by the US, the frontier gave way to established farms and ranch lands. The leaner longhorn beef was not as attractive in an era where tallow was highly prized, and the longhorn's ability to survive on the poor vegetation of the open range was no longer as much of an issue. Other breeds demonstrated traits more highly valued by the modern rancher, such as the ability to gain weight quickly.
