[QUOTE="Txwalt, post: 457208, member: 5970"] Read an article in TexasMonthly August 2007 authored by S.C Gwynne an thought ya'll might like some interesting info. The ranch is comprised of 825,000 acres. They have an esimated 43,500 head of cattle. The author estimates that only 10% net profit is made from cattle. The population of the ranch used to be 1,200 fifty years ago and is now down to 300. The ranch formed a company called Consolidated Citrus wich is the largest citrus grower in the country with over 284 full time empoyees. The ranch is 154 years old. I would recommend checking out this article if you can. It is very interesting. A large portion of the article is about how the ranch had to branch out into other businesses to stay afloat. It will definatley make somone rethink getting into this business if they are not already invested in it. Walt [/QUOTE]
