Wow this is bigger than it looks. Pure capitalism with a little help from a pro-capitalist govt. instead of socialism/communism from the leftists in Calif.
Wendys are eatable but the rest are really bad.I sure miss all that stuff but I’m a leaf and bird and fish eater right now.
Come on now don’t include us with the not so Gold Coast,we do our own thing down here in the Keys.
It’s a toss up for us folks in the upper Midwest
Culvers or In & out.
I’ve had both way to many times.
I was born in CA
In & out. Hands down. I’ve brought I&O to Midwest folks via air travel. Many moons ago.. Fam now understands..
I still love Culver’s
The Largest Single Brood Cow Herd is Located in Florida
Florida beef cattle are usually shipped to Texas where they are slaughtered as “Texas Beef”.
Huge cattle ranches in Florida. Most also have citrus groves.
“Can someone point to a cattle ranch in Florida?”
Central FL, S or Orlando and E of Disney, is a huuuge cattle ranch. Many others all over.
chaosagent, steven scharf,
What a great thread. Brings back memories of my much younger days growing up in Central Florida.
My Step Father was a Soil Conservation Agent in North Central Florida and worked with many ranchers to improve their soil and grasses. One of the side benefits was that he got to fish in some of the private lakes and ponds on the ranches.
Later, in 1960, I worked at the airport in Melbourne. The Foreman from the Mormon Ranch rented a small airplane, a Cessna, with pilot, to fly him over the ranch so he could see where the cattle were and to estimate how many.
At that time locating and counting cattle was done on horseback so doing it from above might have been easier as a lot of the ranch, near the river is wet and soggy.
I don’t know that he did it again.
Anyway, this thread brings back memories of growing up in a small town in Florida during the 1940’s and 1950’s. Farming and Ranching, yeah! Either work on a farm or join the military. And I did, joined the Navy at 17 yrs old.
How Deseret Ranches of Florida — one of the largest U.S. cow-calf ranching operations — looks to sustain its legacy
ST. CLOUD, Florida — Both in formal publications and informal conversations, one of the largest cow-calf ranching operations in the country is known by a number of names — Deseret Ranches of Florida, Deseret Cattle and Citrus, or sometimes simply “Deseret” or “the Ranch.”
The varied names for the 300,000-acre property in central Florida are perhaps fitting, given its diversity of operations.
For the record, its official name is Deseret Ranches cattle ranch.
Just be sure to have a CDL with P endorsement.
Yep. Or else Biden would have the FBI go get him.
The interior of Florida was settled by cowboys called crackers (they used to crack whips to move the cattle) who rounded up the prolific herds of the wild critters that were descended from strays the Spanish Conquistadors brought with them.
Once a year the cattle were driven to Punta Gorda on the west coast and sold to cattle buyers who shipped them to Caribbean ports.
Beer sure to check the bottom of your cup, and the fries bag for a Scripture verse. I don’t know if they still do that, but they used to. Revelation 3:20.
Where’s the beef?
I think the burgers are OK, but nothing special. Hubby is from CA and it’s like a cult with those people.
We just had a new chain restaurant open in town, Freddy’s. They have the weirdest “burgers” — little flat thin lacey things. Tasted OK.
“Florida beef cattle are usually shipped to Texas where they are slaughtered as ‘Texas Beef’.”
Like the syrup from the trees tapped on my grandfather’s NY farm. It was shipped to Vermont and ... ta da! ... magically turned into Vermont maple syrup.
There are many, both beef herds and dairy. Here in the panhandle there are very large beef ranches even going beyond the state line into Georgia and Alabama.
Lots of ranching in Central Florida, Osceola County has has rip-roaring rodeo for a long long time. But you’re right, not many cattle on the beaches or at Disney,
