Florida Cattle and Livestock Auctions

Florida is
where beef cattle production began
The Texas Longhorn gets all the attention but the first beef cattle in the United States originated right here in Florida, when the Spaniards imported them in the early 1500s.
Virtually every strain and breed of cattle in the United States started in Florida.
Florida produces cattle for export as well as domestic consumption
throughout the United States.
Cattle and Cows
Often the terms cattle and cow are used interchangably. In fact, cattle refers
to the plural of cows, and cows refer to the females of the species. So all cows
are cattle, but all cattle are not cows. On a dairy farm, all cattle are cows
used to produce milk. On a cattle ranch, there is a mixture of cows, steers, and
bulls that are raised to produce beef.
Florida Cattle Breeds
Black
Angus is the most common breed of cattle raised in Florida and the United
States. Like many cattle breeds it has its origins in Scotland and is known for
its flavorful meat.
Brahman
Cattle were bred in the United States from cattle originating in India, and are
known for their tolerance of heat, strong sun, and humidity. They suit the
Florida climate.
Brangus Cattle are a crossbreed between Brahman and Angus cattle, taking the
best from each.
Florida Cracker Cattle are the ancestors of the original cattle brought to
Florida by the Spaniards and developed into a heat tolerant breed that can be
raised in the Florida wild.
Ona White Angus is a highbred version Black Angus that because of its white
color is more tolerant of the hot Florida sun.
Senepol cattle are also known for heat tolerance and longer grazing times in
the hot sun.
Highland Cattle, originally from Scotland, are found in Florida and are notable
for their shaggy coats.
Miniature Cattle and Miniature Cows
See our miniature farm animal page for complete descriptions of various
breeds of miniature cattle and mini cows. What miniature cows make the best milk
cows?
