For those who know me personally you know I love local history and I like to study the roots of our nation. One thing I really enjoy is how our agriculture base developed and expanded and that includes cattle and other livestock. The Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon, brought the first cattle and horses to America in 1521 long before the Pilgrims showed up.
The original cattle line still remains and they are ranched in various areas through the state, one in Withlachoochee State Preserve which is very close to where I live. If you like agriculture and cattle ranching here is a interesting video on how the cattle were preserved and survive for 500 years in the swamps of Florida. One neat thing about the Cracker Cattle in the video is they can not be artificial inseminated. Much like Kentucky thoroughbreds .
