[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1757869, member: 42731"] Cracker cows are Criollo strain cattle from Florida and the lower pine belt originally. They share a name with the Cracker Cowboys who herded them. There is a 90(?) mile trail ride every year in Florida in their memory along one of the old Florida trail drive routes. Their traditions were both very similar and different from their contemporaries in other places, but a cowboy is a cowboy by whatever name. Frederick Remington wrote a hilarious article about them in the 1890's and their violent ways. My favorite excerpt is from when he asks the butcher he's talking to if the cowboys come shooting when they come to town and the butcher produces a cut down shotgun and says "We split even" [/QUOTE]
