I don't know if most people realize that Florida is filled with ranches and cattle. The coastal sand and beaches get most of the public relations but there are great cattle ranches. The typical scene includes a herd of cattle (sometimes longhorns or a rare breed here called Florida Cracker Cattle and I believe even some Indian brahmans) spread out in some lush pasture with white herons following them around. Huge live oaks with Spanish Moss and some of the state trees- the Cabbage Palm or Sabal Palmetto - round out the picture.

While I'm in the mood of cattle trivia, the Florida Cattleman's Associatons states that the term "Florida Cracker" refers to the early cowboys on these  ranches who could crack a 10' to 12' leather whip while riding on horseback and the sound was used to control the cattle. Unfortunately, that is not a scene I have witnessed in my rural jaunts here and that is not what most people mean when they use that phrase.

So, this piece of sterling silver cow jewelry might just suite your fancy or that of someone on your gift list. If cows aren't all you need zip over to silver farm animal pendants home for more choices like an old time mule in sterling silver.
