Maybe we will get to hear it.
BTW - I noticed the "fenced" caveat and assumed there were larger ranches in Australia.

Was it this one, InhouseBob?

A Texas farmer, on a tour Down Under, was talking to a bloke about his ranch back home. “It’s so big”, he said, “that I can start driving from one side at sun rise and not have reached the other at nightfall.”

The bloke took a a sip from his beer, nodded, and said, “I had a car like that once.”

On the matter of farm sizes, it is, of course, the Chinese, who now lay claim to the largest farm on the planet. The Mudanjiang City Mega Farm in Heilongjiang, China, manages an astounding 22,500,000 acres. Australia’s largest, Anna Creek Stationacres.

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge
Some friends and I were invited to hunt a big ranch down in south Texas. High fenced of course like most Texas ranches. When we got there the owner insisted on driving us around in his pick-up to show us the layout of the ranch. We got back to the ranch house an hour and a half later and he said " well, whadya think?" And my buddy Downtown said " I've never seen so much of nothing, so well fenced in". We just cracked up.

True story.
