Florida Cracker Cattle: A Walk Through Time

Step back in time and meet the heritage Florida Cracker cattle at Urfer Family Park during a special interpretive walk held on the third Saturday of each month. Learn how the ancestors of these hardy cattle arrived with early Spanish explorers in the 1500s and adapted to Florida's landscapes over centuries.

Discover the story behind the name "Cracker cattle," the role these resilient animals played in Florida's history, and why their return to the park provides an important connection to the region's cultural and natural heritage.

Meet at Two-Pole Shelter 6.
