Idlewild Ranch
Idlewild Ranch in Orlando, FL, breeds heritage Florida crackers and mini Herefords and Crackerfords in central Florida near Tampa.
The ranch is a longtime member of regional and national breed associations and adheres to comprehensive health testing protocols. Each carefully selected breeding pair is screened for genetic traits such as fertility, disposition, and structural soundness to preserve breed integrity. Cattle graze on lush rotational pastures and are housed in spacious, well-ventilated shelters where calves receive early socialization and gentle handling. Feed rations are carefully balanced with grains, forages, and mineral supplements to support steady growth and maintain optimal energy levels through seasonal shifts.
Owner Colin Furness emphasizes preservation of regional genetics and traditional grass-fed practices. Balanced temperaments and solid structural soundness are hallmarks of this breeding program. Shaded loafing areas and natural water sources are integrated into paddocks to promote animal welfare year-round.
