[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 342753, member: 237"] If you are going by "how big was Southfork as presented in the TV show" then we can do that math as well. ***pulls out whiteboard and several markers*** We know that there are at least 40 sections, as [USER=46]@Mustard[/USER] mentioned there is a section 40. Each section is one square mile, or 640 acres. That would be 40 square miles of land, or 25,600 acres. This is if there are ONLY 40 sections. So there's 25,000 acres there IF the ranch stopped at section 40. [USER=152]@Scary Organ[/USER] is probably right at 100,000 acres estimated. Want to put this in perspective? Here is the listing for Wagonner Ranch. And remember that Wagonner Ranch is tiny compared to the King Ranch. [SIZE=5][FONT=trebuchet ms]FOR SALE: Largest ranch in the U.S. within a single fence.
