The Florida Cracker is a breed of cattle developed in the state of Florida and named for the Florida Cracker culture in which it was kept. Also known as the Florida Scrub or just as the Cracker cow these cattle are one of the criollo-type breeds originally brought to the Southern U.S. by the Spanish Conquistadors. The breed is very closely related to the Pineywoods cattle breed but purebred Crackers have not been crossbred with any English breeds like the Pineywoods has in the past.
