Spanish cattle were brought to America in the 1500's. They adapted to the Florida climate and existed on the scrub found across Florida prairies. This was the beginning of Florida Cowboys as they rounded up the cattle for shipment to South America. They are endangered and Florida Cattlemen are working to keep them from extinction. This painting depicts a Cow Camp found on the Florida prairie.
