What size would you consider a small ranch in Texas?

How many acres in a small ranch in Texas?
The size of a ranch anywhere is dependent on what is being raised on that ranch. Cattle ranches are larger than say a place where chickens are raised. USDA has statistics on the average size of agricultural operations. Aa ranch needs space and water to be profitable, and I would bet that most small ranches are NOT profitable. That said, I think it would take more than 2000 acres to become profitable with cattle. In considering rates, the soils, climate, and water features would dictate carrying capacity. Carrying capacity in basic terminology is number of head of livestock (by species) that can be properly maintained without diminishing the health of the herd or the health of the land. That's my short answer. It is much more complicated than this, and hopefully you can see that the answer to your question is based on many variables. There are many ranches in Texas that are greater thn 50,000 acres, some as large as 250,000 acres, and a handful larger than that. A common sized ranch would be around 500 acres.
How big is the biggest private owned ranch in the world?
You might expect to find the world's largest cattle ranch in Texas. But you would do better to look halfway around the world in Australia. A cattle ranch at Alexandria Station, in Australia's Northern Territory, once covered some 7.2 million acres, or about 11,250 square miles, an area about the size of New Hampshire and Delaware combined! The ranch now has an area of square miles. About 60,000 cattle graze there. This is the largest cattle ranch on earth today. But early this century, there was another ranch in Australia's Northern Territory that was more than five times as large. Until this ranch was divided into smaller properties, it covered an area of 35,000 square miles, about the size of Indiana!
