1. Rollins Ranch Marker
Inscription. The Rollins family's connection to cattle ranching in Florida began when O. Wayne Rollins founded Rollins Ranches in the 1950's.

Over the following decades, Rollins Ranches grew to one of the largest cow-calf operations in the U.S., but their legacy is still one of a family owned and operated cattle company.

With the help of dedicated employees and vendors, the Rollins family continues to care for the animals and the land under the same guiding principles established by Mr. Rollins so many years ago. The Rollins family welcomes the opportunity to continue on in this wonderful life for decades to come.
Established 1957, Okeechobee, FL
