The most famous cattle brand in
the state of Texas is the “Flying W”. It is the symbol for
the largest ranch in the U. S. — the
875,000 acre King Ranch in Southeast
Texas. Established in 1860, the ranch has produced cattle and horses that
have won top honors at competitions around the world. One King Ranch quarter horse won the Triple
Crown in 1946. But, King Ranch is best
known for their significant contributions to the cattle industry. Experimenting with breeds that could produce
high quality beef in a setting of intense heat, King Ranch cross-bred Brahmans
from India with Beef
Shorthorns from England
to create the Santa Gertrudis breed. The King Ranch example of going beyond image
holds an important message for all brand-makers.
