The retired Longhorn mascot Bevo XIII died Monday on the ranch in Liberty Hill, Texas where he and Bevo XIV lived. The former world champion steer was 22 years old. He retired before the 2004 season after 16 years as the face of the Longhorns, a tenure that began in 1988 and included a Heisman Trophy and multiple conference titles.
He is what Longhorn fans picture when they think of Bevo, but he may be most remembered for his thoughts on the Nebraska Cornhuskers (pictured below). Bevo XIII will be honored in the new Silver Spurs Bevo Center on November 3rd.

My son was Bevo XIII’s Handler in the early 90’s. He was good-natured steer and will surely be missed.
