Lunch & Learn: Florida’s Snubbed Cow Culture

The folks who worked raising cattle in Florida long forged their own legacy in the swamps, prairies, and pinewoods of the Sunshine State – until a smear campaign in August 1895 painted the state’s cow culture in a less-than-flattering light. Discover the history of our state’s distinctive ranching traditions and the stories of iconic figures who shaped our cow past and continue to influence our cow present.

Participate online or in-person.
