It is the largest ranch sale in Montana's history...

90 year old Rupert Murdoch and his wife just purchased a sprawling $200 million cattle ranch, with attached mansion, that was formerly owned by the Koch family.

The property is 340,000 acres, according to Bloomberg, and is known as "Beaverhead".

A spokesperson for Murdoch declined to comment on the price of the property, but the previous owner has been confirmed to be Matador Cattle Co., a unit of Koch Industries.

It is the largest ranch sale in Montana's history, the report says. Koch Industries bought the property about 70 years ago. It's located near Yellowstone National Park.

The property features elk, antelope and mule deer and is also located next to a 28 mile long river that's good for trout fishing, Bloomberg noted.

The price of the property pales in comparison to Murdoch's reported net worth, which stands at about $8.8 billion.

He overpaid big time. We entered Global Cooling so he will have an even shorter growing season. And the natives of Montana won't lift a finger to defend an old Jew. Though he did buy from Jews.

I wonder if there are any Bison on the property? Yellowstone is the locale of the last remnant of Buffalo herds from years gone by. ;)

Bison are raised commercially. Apparently not.

$588/AC is not unreasonable for that many unique acres, a working cattle ranch and a mansion.

Then there is the cross between Bison and beef cattle called Beefalo. ;)
