Mother longhorn and her calf at the 1,800-acre Lonesome Pine Ranch, a working cattle ranch that is part of the Texas Ranch Life ranch resort near Chappell Hill in Austin County, Texas. The ranch, originally settled in 1823 by one of the "Old 300" Texas pioneers who received land grants from Stephen F. Austin, is home to quarter horses, American bison, abundant wildlife and a 200-head Texas longhorn herd. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
