VIVA MEXICO LA TIERRA DE LOS VAQUEROS 🌵🌵🌵🇲🇽 M X 🇲🇽🌵🌵🌵

@@vaqueromx2186 This documentary about Florida cattlemen doesn't detract from the skills and experience of the Mexican vaqueros, who are assuredly the best cowboys, as far as roping, riding, etc., in the world, imo.

I'm blessed to come from a Fla ranching family, where we grew up on horseback working cattle year round. Here's some local cowboys & indian's history ... The fiercest of the 1830's Indian Wars, in Florida, The Battle of Okeechobee, was researched for decades, and found in 1986 by Archeologist Bob Carr, his field team & traveling historians. The old "fake news " from 1837 was uncovered with letters from relatives of the Missouri Volunteer survivors, confirming the US had LOST the battle, BUT the US Brass reported it to the news of the day as a huge victory. THAT paved the way for Brigadier General Zachary Taylor to become POTUS. With corrected history restored, the Seminoles victory made them the only unconquered Native American Tribe in US history. The 150th Anniversary of the Battle (1987) was re-enacted with then Seminole Chief James Billie and other Seminole Chief's descendants & family descendants of The Missouri Volunteers, covered by all major news outlets, which went global via TV & print coverage, with a field full of local & international spectators... even a covered wagon-train came from out west! Twenty years later, the battlefield area became a Fl State Park, continuing the annual historical re-enactment. My daddy, Jack, played the part of Brigadier General Zachary Taylor in the Re-Enactment many years. In preparation he grew his annual Battle beard, readied military accoutrements to handle/carry the historical sword horseback. He took this job very seriously and enjoyed his many friendships. He really liked the Chief & his song, "Big Alligator"! 🇺🇸

Thank you Smile, looking for more story ideas :)

He's probably back in Florida Greyman, like everybody else that where old Cowboys go to retire :)

yup, likely so@@KINSHIPPRODUCTIONS

You're darn tootin Karen :)

I grew up in Arcadia i don’t live there anymore but I miss it every day

@@hpsoutdoors1836 Everyone in Arcadia has immpecable manners, even the poor folks. It's a Southern thing.

I grew up in Bartow. Citrus, cattle and phosphate mines were king back then.

Right there with you brother. I grew up in Manatee County all of my life and remember when anything east of I-75 was nothing but cow pasture and pine forest. It’s starting to seem like the only way to live this lifestyle is moving further and further east into central Florida, north Florida or some parts of south Florida.

And as you saw Folks, that "Death Tax" isn't making it any easier.

Thank you Ryan, thanks for watching, and Happy Trails!

@@vaqueromx2186 The vaqueros, like the Florida cowboys, got their profession from the Spaniards. And Leon and Exposito in this film seem to me to be vaqueros from Mexico.

I'm still trying to work on my ropin skills Robert :)

No, he's from Cuba Karen but possibly by way of Mexico :)

Glad you got to see it Jack, hope you had a chance to finish it. :)

I ment to get in touch with you folks about doing a story on that but got distracted with my move back to Florids from the ranch in Colorado. Two years later but are you still there?

@KINSHIPPRODUCTIONS Yes, Danny and I are still here. We live in the renovated Cracker House on Rolling Meadows Ranch. Danny just celebrated 17 years at the park. We have been living on RMR for most of that time. Sarah

@KINSHIPPRODUCTIONS I'd love to here about the ranch in Colorado. That's where I came from. I miss the cold, snow and mountains. All 4 seasons. Mild summers. Lol

@@KINSHIPPRODUCTIONS Danny works at the Cow Camp At Lake Kissimmee State Park. He truly is exceptional at it.

Wow, high compliment, thanks 44!

Not since the drought.

@@hitehomemovies4820 They are building up again mate

@@hitehomemovies4820 Anna Creek Station is over 5,000,000 acres the size of all of New Jersey in South Australia

@@matthansberry5795 as I understand it Size is measured by production as in number of cattle not acres.

What about the Seminoles Tiger, who did they steal their ranch land from.

Where is the land that you own?

Someone owns and takes care of it. I’m glad it’s ranchers and not more Villages. AT LEAST FOR NOW

@@KINSHIPPRODUCTIONS He probably thinks that the Seminole were indigenous to Florida.
