Florida Cracker Ewe and Lambs, 8”x8”, oil on panel, 2019. $175
Descended from Spanish stock and adapted over nearly 500 years to the heat, humidity, and rough forages of the subtropical South, Florida Crackers are one of the oldest sheep breeds in North America — and among the most self-sufficient mothers on the continent. Critically endangered, they breed year-round, lamb easily, and raise their young with a quiet competence that speaks to half a millennium of figuring things out without much help from humans.
