A limited-edition tie centered on one of the most important figures in King Ranch history: Monkey, the foundation sire of the Santa Gertrudis breed. Woven in pure silk, his silhouette is rendered with quiet precision, a symbol of the breeding program that would shape cattle operations around the world. Born in 1920 and nearly lost to a routine decision, Monkey went on to define a lineage. His offspring proved uniquely suited to the demands of South Texas—hardy, efficient, and consistent—establishing the foundation for what would become America’s first recognized beef breed. He’s set against a warm, understated ground that highlights the breed’s trademark solid red color. This tie is more than a great gift and accessory, it’s a wearable archive of King Ranch.
