4 arroba
(Sp. model spelled same [aróβa] < Arabic ar-rub 'the fourth part of a quintal')DARE: 1824. In terms of weight or quantity, a measurement equal to about twenty-five pounds or thirty-two pints. Spanish sources concur. Often used to measure longhorn cattle, cowhide, or tallow. According to Watts, Bentley, and the DARE, the term was used by Hispanics and Anglos. Bentley notes that an American in a border community could have asked for "an arroba of flour." -
5 cattalo
Watts: 1944. A cross between a cow (longhorn or fully domesticated one) and a buffalo. Adams says that Charles Goodnight was the first to produce a hybrid between these species, but Watts indicates that Spanish colonists attempted to breed cattle and buffalo as early as 1750 and that the idea was suggested in 1598. The original reason for breeding the two animals is disputed. Hendrickson cites Ferber, who suggests it was to make cattle more resistant to heat and ticks. Watts says that it was to produce a new kind of meat, which unfortunately proved to be inferior to beef. These hybrid animals are said to be difficult to domesticate and often sterile, but some believe there may yet be a market for them.Alternate forms: catalo, cattlo. -
6 ladino
(Sp. model spelled same [laðino] < Latin latinum 'Latin.' In the Middle Ages it meant Romance, as opposed to Arabic, and referred to a Moor who could speak Latin; with reference to books, it applied to 'fine, learned, Latinlike' languages (according to Corominas), and later came to mean 'skillful,' 'astute,' or 'wise')Texas: 1892. Originally, a wild longhorn, but more recently, a horse or cow that is vicious, wild, and unmanageable, and seems to possess a certain crafty intelligence. The DARE indicates that this term may be used as a noun or as an adjective. Clark notes that it is sometimes applied to a "crafty or wily person." In Spanish, this term originally applied to a person who knew Latin or was wise or learned in general. It has since come to mean 'clever' or 'knowledgeable.' Santamaría confirms that in Coahuila, Mexico, the term is used to refer to a bull that, having been at one point confined to a corral, on its return to the field is not only wild again but seems to possess a certain knowledge of humans that allows it to evade all the cowboys who attempt to capture it. -
7 lobo stripe
West: 1941. As Watts notes, a dark stripe running down the middle of the back of some animals, including Texas and Mexican longhorn cattle. See also bayo coyote. -
8 Mexican buckskin
Adams indicates that this term is used by northern cowboys for a longhorn driven north from Texas. -
9 querencia
The place where a person (or animal) was born. Also a favorite spot or 'haunt.' Watts, quoting Dobie, says that Texan cowboys use the term to refer to a longhorn's birthplace or a place the cow persistently returns to. The OED notes that in bullfighting it refers to the place in the ring where a bull takes his stand, or his "stamping ground." The DRAE indicates that it refers to the inclination or tendency of a person or animal to return to the place where s/he was raised or has become accustomed to. It may also refer to the place itself. Santamaría quotes Valle, who reports that this term refers (in Nicaragua) to the native territory of an animal, meaning the place where it was raised, where it has become accustomed to graze, and whose pathways and landmarks it knows and remembers instinctively. By extension, it is also used for the place a person calls home and where his or her loved ones reside. -
10 Texas
(Sp. model spelled same [téxas] < Caddo Indian teyshas 'allies or friends' appropriated by the Spanish in the 1540s who mistakenly took it to be a tribal name.)1) A term written in lowercase referring to the canopy of a covered wagon adjusted and reinforced to withstand wet weather.2) Name of the second largest state in the Union, admitted in 1845 (as the twenty-eighth), which is intimately associated with cowboying. As such it is combined to form compounds relating to fauna and flora native to or introduced to Texas. Animals include: Texas cow, Texas cattle or Texas herd, Texas longhorn, Texas pony, Texas armadillo, and Texas fever tick. Some typical plants include: Texas bluebonnet, Texas bluegrass, and Texas (white) oak.Alternate form: Tejas. -
11 Texan
Of or pertaining to Texas; with particular reference to the inhabitants of the state or to cattle originating from Texas, such as the longhorn breed. -
12 zorrillas
(zorrillo [soríjo], of uncertain origin; probably from Spanish zorro 'fox' and -illo, a diminutive suffix)According to Santamaría, a zorrillo is a skunk. In the Southwest the term was applied to longhorn cattle whose hides have dorsal stripes. Watts indicates they often had white spots on their flanks and bellies, which made them similar in appearance to the above-mentioned animal.
