Democratic Sentinel, Volume 20, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 October 1896 — Larger than State. [ARTICLE]

Larger than State.

The largest ranch now running tn the United States is situated in the State of Wyoming. The dimensions of thia Immense farm are of such mammoth proportions that figures of its area appear almost fabulous and beyond belief. An idea of its dimensions may be gained from the fact that the State of Rhode Island could be dropped into tbe middle of it, and yet leave a margin of some twenty pintles all around it—and it is stocked with upwards of 200,000 animals of various kinds. Including horses, cattle, sheep, goats, hogs and half-bred buffalo. The inventory shows that 400 horses, 20,00 d cattle and over 150,000 sheep daily graze on its broad acres.
