Unnecessarily capitalised words: Cattle, Longhorns.

Words that should be capitalised: Ranch, Trail (in the context of Santa Fe).

Words that follow after the names of certain places (road, boulevard, etc.) should always be capitalised, as they too are part of the names.

Cattle & Longhorns shouldn't be capitalised as they are common nouns & aren't part of any names, places, etc.
