Four Kings Ranch

“Tucked behind the Bright Leaf Golf Resort in Mercer County you’ll find Four Kings Ranch, the home to 60 cows under the care of Cary King and his wife, Kim. Situated across 240 acres, you’ll find King caring for his herd, consisting of seedstock bulls, cows and calves.”

​Both active in legislature and policies concerning agriculture and the cattle industry, King is involved with the Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association, while his wife is a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives. The Kings value caring for their livestock, as well as caring for the agriculture industry as a whole. Seeing the bigger picture is what led King to building his registered angus herd.” - Source
