How Long Has The 6666 Ranch Been Around?

Established in 1870 by cattleman Samuel 'Burk' Burnett, 6666 is one of the largest ranches in Texas, with a total of 266,000 acres spread across four counties.

The three locations that make up the 6666’s operation include:

Guthrie, Texas - including 142,372 acres in King County
Dixon Creek ranch division in Carson and Hutchison counties - 114,455 acres
Frisco Creek - 9,428 acres in Sherman County

The property also includes a historic 1917-era home that hosted many visitors, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Will Rogers.

How 6666 Ranch Was Named

According to the original real estate listing, Burnett named the land after the first brand he saw on his new cattle. However, a popular Texas legend states that Burnett won the ranch in a poker game with a winning hand of four sixes.

The ranch, also known as the 4-6's, was founded in 1870, and covered multiple counties. It had three divisions - The 6666’s Ranch in Guthrie, with 142,372 acres; Dixon Creek Ranch in Carson and Hutchison Counties with 114,455 acres; and Frisco Creek in Sherman County with 9,428 acres.

The 6666 Ranch — better-known as the Four Sixes Ranch — in Guthrie, Texas, dates back to 1870. The ranch centers around a 13-bedroom, 13-bathroom, 13,280-square-foot main residence, which is constructed of quarry rock that was hauled to Guthrie by wagon. The ranch also includes vast, sweeping fenced pastures, farmland, fenced-in pens for cattle, a more recent addition for horses, a water filtration plant that serves the ranch's water needs and more.

There are separate camp manager's homes in both the North Camp and the South Camp of the ranch, which encompasses nearly 225 square miles of land. Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is part of a group of investors who recently acquired the property for $192 million, and he has been shooting his new show out there in recent months.
