I grew up in South vero beach and my moms entire bloodline are FL. Natives from Okeechobee. I grew up cowboyin and could rope and ride by the age of 8. I started riding bulls when i was 11 and continued all thru highschool. I moved to south Ga. To work on a big ranch/farm in clyatville and haven't rodeod since. There's alot of farmers in GA but true cowboys and cowgirls are born and bred in FL. No doubt about that

It is great, isn't it. And a surprise to many people outside of Florida.

Ive herded cattle on foot, on cut horses and on side by side. Have had to pull stuck calfs, even had to reach inside a time or 2. Its way more than just a resistol or Stetson and a big belt buckle. It's a way of life, a tradition of people living off the land and using what god gave us and being good stewarts of what hes provided. Its an essential and honest trade that is passed down generation after generation. Ive been dreaming of building my own ranch and raising my own brand of beef cattle since i was wearing long britches. We're buying just enough property to get started, its 5 acres in Lee FL. About 5 miles from blue springs and theres another 15 acres attatched to our 5 that we want to buy if the good lords willing and the creek dont rise. Im gonna drill a well for irrigation and split and plant perinial peanut pastures. It will take 2 years or so to grow but it will take me that long to get a few heffers and the right bull to start to produce the herd. I will plant rye and oats that they can graze in the winter and feed the harvested peanut hay. I also can get bailed peanut vines from the local peanut farmers. I have to start off small because I have only 5 acres for now but i have to start somewhere, it's a calling thats deep in my roots and in my blood.

Brought the first cattle in 1874? Google the Cow Cavelry 1863 under Captain Lesley. They rounded up cattle left by the Spanish. Organized cattle ranching was going on here as early as 1560s in St. Augustine by the Spanish.

Mr Smith I'm 70 yrs young and spent the first years of my life in Okeechobee with my mother and Grandparents Josh and Mamie Barber . Descendants of Moses Edward Barber and John and Sally Stratton of Kissimmee fla.Moses was arguably the first Cattle barron in Florida and had the lions share of beef contracts to the Confederate Army . Moses was allegedly accused of killing the only sitting Sheriff in the state's history to this day . At the time of the accusation Moses suffered from a wound to his shoulder he received from the first Indian War and could not draw or shoot except from a point blank position witch made his alleged crime an impossibility . What became next was the murder of 19 Barber Men that had been hunted down and killed by the order of Judge John Mizell and his possie from Orlando Fla . Im familiar with your books and am a Brevard Resident since 1961 thank you. Harry Kersey .

Definitely the cows came from Spain.

Pretty sure Southeast Georgia, believe it or not, had the first cowboys. Most native americans escaped into florida as the colonies expanded more southern and western in Georgia in the 1770-1820's, before going westward. These vast areas were dominates by long leaf prairies that were ideal for the piney wood cattle the settlers would push through to pasture. Florida cowboys came later, when they pushed the last native americans out of the east.

@321gates

Cattle were first brought to the United States by the Spanish in 1521 via FL. Ranching in FL began in 1540. This all took place in the St. Augustine area, so I guess it is possible that it didn't take too long before the Spanish cattle had made their way to that part of GA. Regardless, the first cowboys definately originated in FL.

​@@321gates They were released to free range off the coast of Florida on islands. I won't go into the debate about whether or not the true location of the first spanish settlement was actually in present day Saint Augustine or in Georgia. But there were no "cowboys" wrangling cows during that time. The explosion of cattle population actually happened after the spanish settlement into more settled regions of the US, where they were allowed to free range in the vast long leaf prairies in SE Georgia and up into S. Carolina first, relatively free from the threat of natives.

Floirda has a southern accent if you can find one of us true natives nowadays with all these yankees that have moved in.

jake watts Mexico had the first cowboys. The Traditions spread from Central Mexico to Northern Mexico then to the Southwest. Moreover, Texas what's the first to receive this kind of tradition later from Baja California were most of the California Vaqueros or backaroo developed spread North to Alta California even though the majority of the California Vaqueros of that time where in Baja California. While there was people who worked with cattle in Florida they were not like what they're depicted on in this video. Many of the skills and traditions that we know of the North American Cowboy derived and developed in Mexico. Due to the proximity and the history I think Texas was the first state with the traditional Cowboy we know of today. The Spanish did not denominator themself Vaqueros( cowboys) the denomination of that word was first used in Mexico. The Spanish were called caballeros( horsemen). if you think about it, how can Florida have the first cowboys when the Spanish did not use lassos or ropes had different kind of boots, different kind of saddles, different kind of Spurs and did not use chaps. The traditional cowboy hat is an exact replica of el sombrero de dos aguas that originated in northern Mexico. So if you're referring to people who work with cows then yes Florida had the first cowboys in the United States but if you're referring to the Cowboy we know of today or the Hollywood movies, I'll say outside of Mexico; Texas was the first with the traditional American Cowboy.
