In 1952, King Ranch Texas, bought ranches in Cuba and Australia. The Cuban ranch encompassed more than 38,000 acres but was lost during the Cuban revolution (1959).
By crossbreeding Brahman bulls, native to India, with British Shorthorn stock, the ranch in Texas produced the Santa Gertrudis, recognized as the first American breed of beef cattle and the first cattle breed to be recognized in the world in more than a century, They were also grazed in Cuba.
