True or False: the world's largest ranch (also known as a cattle station) is in Australia and it is the size of Belgium. So is this fantastic idea a true fact or fiction? Belgium, according to believable sites was consistently about 30,230 square kilometers. They also could extra points for the water they own (basically, the "other" areas they have acquired) giving them a total area of 30,528 square kilometers.
In Anna Creek Station, the home of the world's largest farm, times are tough for both humans and the animals. In 2005, a major drought created a difficult lifestyle or those on the ranch (http://edition.cnn.com/2004/TECH/12/24/spark.ranch/index.html). The article claims that the ranch is 24,000 square kilometers; however, it also says it is the size of Belgium. The 16,000 cattle enjoy about 6 million acres. They each get 375 acres all to themselves. I believe that those cattle should share the land with people who need it. Why would one animal need that much space?
