heritage cattle
Our heritage cattle are direct descendants of the famous bull Big Cracker, whose DNA has been directly linked to the animals bred by sixteenth-century Andalusian explorers upon their arrival in Florida. Through careful stewardship of the line and a commitment to the highest standards of care, breeding, and farming, we are proud to produce heritage breed cattle that have evolved to develop natural immunities that make them resistant to most diseases. This means our cattle stay healthy and pure without the need for antibiotics, hormones, or other additives.
Pineywoods Cattle of Florida
Pineywoods Cattle of Florida is home to the Barnes, Hickman, and Griffin lines of Pineywoods cattle. Our bull is of the Barnes family, which is the only line recognized by both the Pineywoods Cattle Registry and Breeders Association (PCRBA) and the Florida Cracker Cattle Association.
