Florida Cracker sheep

Florida Cracker sheep have roamed the rangelands of Florida since the Spaniards attempted to tame Florida 450 years ago. They are a landrace breed, developed from whatever sheep survived in the wild Florida landscape. They flock tightly, are excellent mothers, exhibit better parasite resistance than other sheep breeds. Florida Cracker sheep are listed as critically endangered by the Livestock Conservancy.

We strive to maintain our Cracker flock in as natural an environment as possible in order to maintain their genetic advantages. They live on native pastures, guarded by the Maremmas. They range through wooded and open pastures, browsing on underbrush, weeds, and native grasses. Any ram that requires deworming, or any ewe that doesn’t raise her lamb is culled from the breeding flock. By following these strict protocols, our flock maintains the characteristics that set Florida Crackers apart from other breeds of sheep.
