Guided Historical Tours<\/h3>\n

The journey begins at the historic Santa Gertrudis Creek where Captain King first camped in 1852. Nearby, modern brush clearing equipment, land-going leviathans conceived and developed on King Ranch to clear mesquite and huisache from the pastures, has found a permanent parking place. Continuing your trip, your guide will explain the history and the modern day workings of the Ranch. You will see the Calera Pens where at roundup time the cattle are vaccinated, branded, and tagged. Keen eyes will spot wildlife along the way, and our wildlife tours are a totally separate program. Tours will pass the Auction Arena, the horse cemetery, and the Colony \u2013 home of the Kinenos or King\u2019s Men. Historic buildings include Mrs. King\u2019s Carriage House, the Commissary with its lookout tower, the show barn, and the grand home built in 1912 by Captain King\u2019s widow, Henrietta.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Farming and Feedlot Tours<\/h3>\n

For those who want a more comprehensive tour of the ranch agricultural operations, tours of the farming operations and\/or the Feedlot\/Feedmill operations can be scheduled. Approximately 60,000 acres of King Ranch are under cultivation. Grain sorghum (milo) and cotton are the major crops grown in South Texas. King Ranch maintains its own Cotton Gin and grain storage facilities. Plan on 1-hour to tour the farming operations. The King Ranch Feedlot has a capacity of about 15,000 head of cattle. Feed for these animals is prepared at the adjacent Feedmill. One hour is needed to\u00a0travel to each\u00a0of these sites separately.<\/p>\n
