According to 6666ranch.com, the Four Sixes Ranch encompasses several different properties in the Texas Panhandle region, including the Four Sixes headquarters near Guthrie, Texas, and the Dixon Creek Ranch close to Borger. Established in 1870 by rancher Samuel "Burk" Burnett, the ranch remains fully operational, raising cattle and breeding high-quality quarter horses for both racing and use on other cattle ranches (via Quarter Horse News). In addition, the ranch also provides a variety of state-of-the-art equine veterinary services.
With a total of 119 pastures ranging from small acreages to horizon-spanning, 16,000-acre spreads, the property has earned a reputation for its best-in-class water and range management practices. The ranch's staff is even focused on reclaiming areas for native plants and grasses as well as improving natural water sources.
The property's staff maintains everything through carefully monitored grazing, which is done in order to ensure completely optimal use of ranch resources. All in all, the Four Sixes Ranch should prove to be an appropriately epic backdrop for "6666," which will help usher in the next thrilling phase of the growing "Yellowstone" franchise.
