BEVO XIV DIES, FRIDAY
The mascot for the University of Texas Longhorns has died.
According to Austin American Statesman, Bevo XIV, died Friday. The famed mascot was recently diagnosed with bovine cancer.
Bevo passed away in his sleep and had been resting at the ranch of his owners and caretakers, Betty and John T. Baker.
The 2,100-pound animal was a National Grand Champion Show Steer with horns measuring 82 inches tip to tip.
He began his time on the UT sidelines in 2004, at the age of 2.
The search for a new sideline mascot has already begun, although it’s not known whether the Silver Spurs will have a new longhorn steer chosen before the end of the regular season.
Texas’ next home game is Oct. 24 against Kansas State.
