Beef Ranches in Florida, really??
Not many people think of Florida as a state that raises Beef Cattle, especially when you think of alligators, palmettos, Florida State Seminoles, the Everglades and Fort Lauderdale.
But you would be wrong. As described on the link below: here is a different story of history that you may not know, in quotations.
Cow Hunters and Cattle Barons
“Florida has the longest history of ranching of any state in the United States. This exhibit celebrates that long history and the continuing importance of cattle and ranching to the Florida economy and culture. This exhibit is presented in support of the Florida Folklife Program exhibit, Florida Cattle Ranching: Five Centuries of Tradition, currently on display at the Western Folklife Center, Elko, Nevada from January 18 – July 24, 2010. Images from the State Archives are used, along with information from the exhibit and new photographs from folklorist Bob Stone, to illustrate how cattle, the people who raise them, and the cultural importance of ranching have changed since cattle first arrived with the earliest Spanish explorers more than 400 years ago. This exhibit showcases the work, play, tradition, and artistry that ranching represents in Florida.
Special thanks to Bob Stone of the Florida Folklife Program, the curator of the Florida Cattle Ranching exhibit, who provided the historical background and his own images for this presentation.”
