King Ranch Tour Delights South Texas Press Group
Edwin Harvey reports on a Kingsville visit by the South Texas Press Association to the King Ranch. The sprawling operation spans over 823,403 acres with 500 staff, its own school and roads, and a history from Captain King’s 1853 land grant to the Santa Gertrudis breed and international ventures. A self guided loop map at the gate helps visitors, and a cancer research appeal closes the piece.
