* The Murdochs purchased the 340,000-acre Beaverhead Ranch from Matador Cattle Company, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, according to the Wall Street Journal. Fred Koch bought the property about seven decades ago and passed it along to Charles and David Koch, his sons, after his death. 

* Beaverhead Ranch is a working commercial business with 25 homes spread across its 113,000 acres, mostly for the people who manage the livestock. It spans 50 miles from north to south, crossing two counties, has grazing rights on another 226,000 acres, and contains a 28-mile creek stocked with trout. 

* While Koch Industries has sold or listed at least two other properties this year, the conglomerate remains one of the nation’s largest property owners. It sold the 11,000-acre Spring Creek Ranch in Kansas in March for $23.2 million and a few months later put the Matador Ranch in Texas on the market for $124.45 million.
