WHAT'S NEW? - NEW PIGGIES & CALVES AT THE MUSEUM !!


Yes, A Florida Cracker calf arrived during the week of the tremendous rain storm in May. (Momma is Selma and baby is Mikey).
July 30, 2009 - Another new red calf born this morning from Tippedeaux.
As many of you know, Florida Cracker Cattle are descended from livestock that the Spaniards brought to Florida during the 16th century. This breed of cattle is critically endangered but is slowly making a comeback due to conservation efforts by cattlemen around the State. The Florida Agricultural Museum contributes to this effort by helping to preserve Florida Cracker Cattle and Horses, heritage livestock breeds unique to our State. Please feel free to visit with our latest additions. The museum is open Wednesday-Sunday, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.. We hope to see you soon!
Also, you may learn more about the Cracker Cattle by clicking on the Florida Cracker Cattle Association link on this page.

Damn, 120k. I think it is a matter of trusting the cities intentions, and the role they expect to play for the "rescue" For some reason, I don't feel comfortable with the city maintaining the best intrest of the Museum, In the long run.

From the Almanac - FLORIDA CRACKER CATTLE AT THE MUSEUM

Cracker Cattle are at the museum!

Florida Cracker Cattle are one of the oldest breed of cattle in the U.S. They are descended from the Spanish cattle brought to the state in the early 1500s. The genetic heritage of this breed is derived from crossing an all purpose type of European cow from the northern Iberian peninsula wit… Continue
