The Florida Cow Culture Preservation Committee (FCCPC) is preparing for a historic Quincentennial Celebration in December 2022 to honor 500 years of Cattle in Florida. As part of this celebration, cow hunters from across the state will drive 1,000 cattle through central Florida for seven days and will conclude at trail’s end with a grand party, open to the public.
As part of this celebration, FCCPC partnered with local artists to create the Ponce de Leon 1521 Herd of 7 – seven life-sized fiberglass cracker bulls to represent the seven cattle that were brought over by the Spaniards in 1521. The bulls will travel the state at numerous public events before they are auctioned off.
