Vaquero Eleven A Cow Hunter is a special breed of cowboy who can track a wild cow through densewoods and return her to the herd unscathed. Cow Hunters originated 400 years ago in the Carolinas, and when England took over Florida, these traditions migrated with them. They brought their cur dogs and whips. And a unique brand of Cow Hunter lingo… cattle hide in a hammock and graze in a crevice. A maverick cow is a heradick. While the Brits brought their Cowkeeping customs, the cattle and horses were all Spanish. In fact, 450 years ago the first ranches in the states started on Florida soil. And the descendants of Spanish cattle and horses are still here. Florida’s cattle population is second only to Texas. And the Cow Hunter sense of humor...indescribable.
