The Four Sixes is one legendary ranch that has never been afraid of progress.
Headquartered near Guthrie, Texas, the Four Sixes Ranch is part of the famous Burnett Ranches LLC, which is among the most storied businesses in Texas history. Established in 1870, the Four Sixes Ranch was sold to an investment group led by Texas native Taylor Sheridan that wanted to keep the ranch as one unit, specializing in both outstanding horses and quality cattle. In fact, when initially touring the ranch, the one question he posed to Four Sixes Ranch General Manager Joe Leathers was why the 6666 didn’t have a branded beef program with all the superior genetics and carcass information they had collected on their Angus-based calves.
“He wants to take the sixes to the next level,” Leathers said. “Taylor Sheridan is a man that thinks outside of the box. To make the sixes sustainable; to make it where it cashflows year-in, year-out so in another two, three, four generations the ranch is still operating. That is a rarity.”
With long-term management and quality nutrition, Four Sixes has been able to establish a branded-beef program.
