The ranch covers approximately 130,000 acres making it one of the largest cattle ranches in the nation. The Parker family and more recently, Parker Ranch, Inc., proudly carry on the cattle ranching business and traditions such as rodeo competitions honoring the Paniolo heritage, helping form the roots of many communities throughout Waimea. A favorite location for many community activities, the Ranch hosts events sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America, Cub Scouts, Paniolo Preservation Society, Rotary Club, and many more. The Ranch also is a proud sponsor for the Paniolo Hall of Fame which honors individuals for their contribution to the Paniolo heritage and for participating in the ranching industry.
