If I had a spare billion or two lying around I would scoop this up immediately. Steve Balmer from Microsoft recently paid 2 billion for the San Diego Clippers. With that kind of money I would buy this ranch instead of a B-ball team

I always thought the King Ranch was the biggest. Bigger than Rhode Island. Am I way behind the times?

Really a shame. The Waggoner Ranch is iconic to us Quarter Horse people.

Almost as large as the XIT ranch of old Texas.The XIT Ranch in the 1880s was the largest range in the world under fence and it all laid in the Texas Panhandle. It’s three million acres sprawled from the old Yellow House headquarters, near what is now Lubbock, Texas, northward to the Oklahoma Panhandle, in an irregular strip that was roughly 30 miles wide.
It covered portions of ten counties which apparently helped perpetuate the misbelief that the brand -XIT- stands for “Ten In Texas”. The brand, in fact, was originated to thwart rustlers.
In 1885 the first cattle, long of leg and long of horn, rolled onto the XIT. Thousands of hooves drummed up the trail and the longhorns were pushed on to the No. 1 division headquarters at Buffalo Springs, 32 miles north of Dalhart, now easily available by modern highway. Once the ranch ran 150,000 head of cattle.

As part of the deal you will get some nice farm equipment and some feed silos and their contents (are those feed silos?)

This ranch is currently worth about 4 Picassos.

Spent lots of time in my youth out there and college at Lubbock, it is some pretty dry desolate country - photos sure look nicer than the countryside does, best people in the world in west Texas
