Called the Midland Ranch, it totals 1.15 million acres, exceeding Pathfinder’s overall 916,076 acres, making it more than five times larger than the five boroughs of New York City. It’s also larger than the state of Delaware.

For both ranches, those totals include far more leased land than deeded. In the case of Midland, the deeded acres are 5,880 acres. The leases may also be conveyed with the property.

The ranch is listing for $22 million if bought whole. Or, buyers can consider buying one of the five units, which range in price from $1 million to $9.9 million.

Called transhumance, the Basque method involves a seasonal movement of livestock between pastures in different seasons, following available grass.

Few ranches have the size and scale to keep all of their livestock grazing entirely on the ranch until it’s time to ship them to market, Kerrigan said. Most use feed lots for some part of the animal’s lifespan. But not Midland.

“Taken as a whole, that makes this a very unique operation,” he said. “There’s few places left in the West that truly practice this.”
