Barnes

Barnes cattle vary widely in size, horn shape and color. Most are color sided, color pointed or caped, with black ears and noses. Colors includes blacks, blues, reds,browns and tans. Solid colors happen but are uncommon. ​The Barnes cattle come from Alabama, and subsequently traveled into the panhandle of Florida following the Yellow river. Because of this the Barnes lines of cattle are one of a few lines that can be registered by both the Pineywoods Cattle Registries and the Florida Cracker Cattle Association. Billy Barnes still owns a small herd of the original cattle, but most of the current Barnes cattle are owned by non-descendants today.
