[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 812857, member: 7233"] I know some but not too much about the place. There are several hundred head in each of the purebred herds, though I don't know the exact numbers. Not sure about the crossbreds. There are also quarter horses, used for work and show competitions. There are several houses, two barns and working corrals (one set at low elevation, one set at high elevation), tractors and trailers. Everything goes. There are ponds and huge holding tanks for water. There are old, established eucalyptus forests that were planted there a long time ago and could be harvested for biofuel. Several quarries. Yes, the hunting is abundant. Our friend hunts and castrates the wild pigs to keep them from breeding, but they're plentiful. Those dogs of his corner the pigs and he ropes them. The ranch is owned by a widow who's retiring. It's a beautiful place and it seems like there is a lot someone could do with it. There are some catches, however. Isomade, you are correct, in Hawaii, much of the land is on lease and can't be owned privately. Such is the case with the majority of this ranch. Only a small portion of it would belong permanently to the new owner. The uppermost portion contains a bird sanctuary. I'm sure what you can do there is restricted. Very interesting and breathtaking place though. If they still live there the next time we go back, we'll definitely explore more. [/QUOTE]
