[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1731868, member: 40587"] You mean of ours? Or just in general? You can search for each breed, and their association sites have great pics of them. There are two Fla associations.. Friday Cracker and Florida Scrub. One of them doesn't register cattle with Brahma blood, but I forget which one. All through the 1800's, people turned out Hereford, Angus and Brahma bulls in Florida to try to improve these feral cattle herds. The brahmas got a little busier than the British bulls in that heat and humidity. I think it was 1949 when Fla stopped allowing free-range cattle, and people quit turning out bulls. I am on my wife's laptop today, because my puter died last week. The guy that works on mine is going to retrieve my files...MY Documents and My Pictures... for me off the dead puter, and I will upload them on my new one when I go get it. I should have pics of all 5 Criollo types on it. Been trying to find a new one with Windows 10, but they all have 11 now. I will just go ahead and get one with 11 if I haven't found one with 10 by this week. Honestly, all of these cattle look alike except for horns, and their size. Longhorns will be the biggest cows, Corriente the smallest, with the Fla cows and Pineywoods cows in between them on size. Most of the time, I can't tell a Fla Cracker from a Fla Scrub, or from a Pineywoods if the PW has horns that are narrow and high. Some Pineywoods have horns more like a typical roping-stock Corriente...wider and not as high. All of them are heat, disease, and parasite resistant, as well as surprisingly cold tolerant. They all thrive on marginal grazing...browsing as much as they graze....and are CHEAP to buy. They have no problems calving, plenty of milk, and are excellent mommas. [/QUOTE]
