Good deal......this topic stirred my intrest about Hawiaian ranching and I searched it and the Parker ranch. From what I can tell they run mostly Hereford/ Angus cross cattle ("black baldies"). Also they have had cattle ranching there in Hawaii a long time which is very cool but they calimed to have cowboys longer than Texas
I'm not too sure about that one. lol. I also found a ranch rodeo event that they do out there and would like to know what its called. Basically one man ropes a steer and pulls him through the fork of a big forked pole and snubs him up to the pole with a head rope like you would snub one up to a tree. If you know or could find out what thats called over there I would definately appreciate it. I saw a video of that event on youtube and they said the name of it but I dont speak hawaian so I did'nt understant a bit of it. haha.

Thats very good info Waylon! Thank you!
I am sorry guys my info on Parker Ranch was wrong, It is the 2nd biggest ranch in the U.S. at 225,000 acres after King Ranch in Texas at 825,000 acres!
Not the 2nd either, Deseret Ranch in Fl is 300,000 acres.
Waylon if you could post the video or spell it for me so I could find it.
SFboarbuster- If I could own a quarter of Parker Ranch I would be happy!
But no I have to stick to leasing the lot I've got now! One day I will buy myself a lot!
