Who will purchase the $725m Waggoner ranch?
David Brocklehurst works on the ranch.
He is a helicopter
pilot at the ranch, as
he hurdles cattle.
The Waggoner ranch with its 125 employees
has been for sale for 14 months
although bidding closed this Tuesday.
The ranch actually covers about 800 square miles across
six counties!
The Waggoner
was prced at $725m. People think of it to be the
country’s largest ranch behind one fence.
Founded in 1849, the Waggoner family has decided to sell.
A lot of offers were considerable
for the $725m: Texas ranch which is bigger
than New York and LA combined
It was reported that there was
700 initial inquiries, 50 people toured
the ranch and a dozen were proven to be genuine.
People are interested in the farming operation,
cattle and horses, oil,
and green energy operations.
The staff are anxious to hear the
news regarding the new owner’s intentions.
This place is a community and
they would hate to see jobs lost.
By late December the new owner should be clear.
