[QUOTE="Salicylic, post: 93767, member: 1523"] From the rugged volcanic range of Mauna Kea through lush green pastures rides the paniolo, the Hawaiian cowboy of Parker Ranch. His realm is over 175,000 tropical acres on the Big Island of Hawaii, on the spread of one of the largest ranches in the United States. Founded in 1853 by Captain Richard King, King Ranch sprawls across 825,000 acres of South Texas with land that varies from fertile black farmland to low-lying coastal marshes to mesquite infested pastures that mark the beginning of the great Texas brush country. Covering almost 1,300 square miles, it is larger than the entire state of Rhode Island. Deseret Ranch is the largest cow-calf operation in the U.S., with 44,000 head of cattle on 300,000 acres. Seen on a map of Florida, the sprawling ranch dwarfs neighboring metro Orlando, stretching 50 miles long and 30 miles wide over parts of three counties: Orange, Osceola and Brevard. Its northwestern tip is 10 miles from Orlando International Airport. Its southeastern tip stretches almost to Palm Bay. So by acres the King Ranch is the largest. [/QUOTE]
