The legendary King Ranch, founded by the intrepid Captain Richard King in the early 1850s, is an iconic institution of almost mythic stature. Captain King’s business plan included taming what was, at the time, known as the Wild Horse Desert and starting a first class beef cattle operation. The stellar success of that early entrepreneurial venture on the range has assumed its rightful place as a major chapter the ranching annals of the American West, and Captain King’s original 12,500 acre spread on the Rincon de Santa Gertrudis now includes over 825,000 acres on four divisions in South Texas.

Before Richard King could consider the viability of his envisioned cattle operation, he had to concern himself with what the cattle would eat. Cattle need water and grass to live on the range.
