Florida Cracker cattle descend from cattle brought to Florida by the Spanish in the 1500’s. Cracker cattle are heat-tolerant, resistant to parasites, and able to graze on the relatively low-quality forage found in Florida's natural areas.

These cattle are smaller, ranging from 600 to 1000 pounds. Their coloration varies, and cattle may even be brindle or spotted (exceptions are being gray or having SH Hereford spotting). Cracker cattle will have moderately long heads with horns that turn up sharply and tip back.

Cracker cattle are inexpensive to raise because of their parasite and disease resistance; they require no antibiotics, hormones, or antiparasitic drugs. This makes them good candidates for ranchers seeking to produce natural beef for farmers markets or consumers searching for "locally grown" or organic foods.

We believe that good genetics and good management produce good breeding stock that thrives without supplemental feed or drugs.

Florida Cracker Cattle are considered a Heritage Breed by the American Livestock Conservancy. 

We have Cracker cattle for sale year round for natural beef and to begin new herds.
