POTD: King Ranch

Just a short drive from Corpus Christi is Kingsville, the home of the King Ranch. This truly Texas-sized ranch sprawls across 825,000 acres. Here the Santa Gertrudis and King Ranch Santa Cruz breeds of cattle were developed as well as the first registered American quarter horse. The public can visit the ranch year around; a visitors center offers videos about the ranch history and drives around the ranch include a look at Longhorns, horses, and the many breeds of cattle that made this ranch famous.
