The Californians don't keep their word. They bought my granddads ranch in Montana and cut it up into 5 acre parcels after they promised and contracted they wouldn't.
It'll happen to the 6666's too. Wait n see.
Taylor Sheridan is no Californian. He was born and raised in Guthrie Tx. He scripted Yellowstone because of his love for the cowboy life and wanting the world to enjoy it as well. He purchased the 6666 to protect the lifestyle he enjoys.
Eventually all land will lose to “progress”, but until then, stop bitching and help support the lifestyle by visiting some of these ranches.
Taylor Sheridan ain't a Californian, he is born & breed in Texas. Taylor loves Texas and the cowboy way of life and in fact has been a cowboy all of his life, growing up on a ranch Texas and he also owns the Bosque Ranch in Texas. My Grandma used to say "You can take the boy out of Dixie; but you can't take Dixie out of the boy" I live in Panhandle Texas just south of the 4sixes Dixon Creek Division which is where some of the filming for 1883 & the Yellowstone episodes occurred. There were rumors flying around here that someone from China was interested, I can't attest that is true, I sure was relieved when Mr. Sheridan purchased the ranch.
@@arealpatriot5587Is it on the market now?
Taylor is a Texan and as a Native Texan myself I am grateful to him for keeping the 4 6666 going.
As a history buff, it's good to learn that the buyer intends to keep the ranch intact, AS a true working ranch. I hope the employees continue to be treated as they have while it was still a family owned ranch.
This happened all over the country here in Colorado before the mid 1990"s there where a lot of big places and there still are just south of me is the Red Top Ranch its over 60,000 ac. The sad part is if you didnt buy land back when it was less than $100/ac there is no way for a guy to do it anymore a cow just wont pay for $400 t0 $1000 an ac ranch.
That is what will be the end of ranching in this country. Ive spent the last 30 years paying off a small ranch its tuff to do but its better than a 9 to 5 in town.
Love the Red Top and Bob Johnston
I remember seeing the 6666 ranch out the window of the car traveling from fort Worth to Dickens as a child I hate to see all of our ranch Land and all of our farmland being bought up by corporate interests it's not going to end well
I just don’t like how ppl from California are trying too make Texas California
Hang on it'll be little liberal Hollywood before you know it
Try all they want it won’t happen lol
HI all, I'm from Australia and really enjoying the Yellowstone show with the brief 6666 diversion for Jimmy a real treat, where the modern cowboy story is opening a brief window. I watched some interviews of Taylor Sheridan and its obvious he has a love and protective commitment to Western culture and cowboys.
We have similar outback cattle Stations (ranch) communities that live and work in ways pretty identical to the big ranch communities in the US. except say the size of many of the big Stations are in the millions of acres where helicopters are used to sweep big acres to bring them in close enough for horse riders to muster. we also have the smaller cattle farmers that interact closer to big cities and feel the brunt of he city centric resentment towards ranching but it seems much deeper and a more culturally sensitive issue over there in the US. We have a similar city v country cultural divide here in Australia but with most things we are a decade or two behind you guys in such shifts in attitude so expect it to follow here.
I really appreciate the shows creators publicizing the ranch life and characters through this fictional medium though i get the positive impression the 6666 scenes were done with non actors and using the normal cattle work footage, even spotted one cowboy using an Aussie stock whip at the back of the mob.
If city people don't understand a thing they don't value it, If other people have an irrational dislike for that same thing they will noisily try and influence the attitude of those that have no exposure of their own to make a balanced judgement so see these shows as important in presenting ranching and cow-horsemanship in a positive way all over the world.
Wish the owners had NEVER sold it 🇺🇸
I’m hopeful that it will be used to make a lot of good western movies. That is my favorite type of movies. Wish we had a star like John Wayne to carry the tradition on.
It is my understanding that Miss Marion put it in her will that the ranch be sold and her daughter Windi did not have a choice to keep it. Windi was raised from the age of five by B.F. Philips jr. You can't get a better horse education than that. I think the history of the family as well as the Pitch Fork the Matador the Wagonner the Tongue River are far more interesting than anything that Hollywood can come up with.
That’s what I heard too. Wonder why Miss Marion did that? She was handed a legacy ranch on a silver platter, I just wonder why she wouldn’t do the same for her daughter.
@@tracyjohnson5023 There was a paternity case with the Tom Burnett estate brought by the granddaughter of Quanah Parker that went all the way to the supreme court. With the DNA accuracy it might be re-opened.
@@slowtwist I’d love to see that happen
I don't trust Hollywood
I support old cowboys
Well, I'm a 70 year old cowboy, how about slipping a couple grand in the mail for me?? That would be some nice support. Make up for that one rank bull that kept me out of the money in Abilene or the time I couldn't rodeo for a month because of a broken leg or maybe the time my rope got tangled and I lost the tip of my finger by the roped steer .......
Hollywood ruins everything it touches!
The heir/owner Anne Marion said in her will that it was to be sold. That is why it went up for sale.
Probably has something to do with inheritance taxes.....???? just a guess
I agree with Miss Little. I hope it stays a fully operational ranch. A beautiful and iconic place.
Living in town that was once cattle country and what it looks like now, its disgusting and heartbreaking. I'm not original from where I call home now and when I moved here it was a shock to find a place to live that I loved. That is all gone now the major families that owned it sold out and moved to texas. I have tried to hang on for as long as I can but I cant anymore. Years from now this will happen to most places and it's a shame.
Spot on man. I would’ve never given a second thought to anything western until I saw Yellowstone. now I am addicted. bravo, well done and carry-on
I suspect it was due to inheritance tax issues, would be my guess.
I had never heard of the Four Sixes until watching Yellowstone. I'd imagine there were a lot of people like me. I had heard of and had been on the King Ranch, I assumed that the "King" had got it all back inna day! LOL. Glad to see I was wrong. I ran thru W. Texas a lot in my years as a truck driver but 90% of the time I ran at night back before the speed limits got stupid and the revenue collectors started coming down so hard on Professional Drivers. You could make it from El Paso to the Louisiana line in a day back then. If the show is half as good as Yellowstone it will cause the economy in Guthrie to grow somewhat as tourists will start looking at their maps closer!
It's sad but Texas is changing.
I’m so happy the history of our country is being protected. My Dad was from Montana, this is as authentic as it gets.
Hollywood? 🤣 Who owns most of Hollywood now?
China!
That is my concern. Viacom has Paramount, which is owned indirectly by Communist China. Research!
So what will become of the legendary 6666 ranch cowboy Mr Boots O'neal ?
I have followed the NCHA riders, and trainers for many, many years. I also had the opportunity to watch the 2nd round of reining competition for a spot on the 2018 Olympic Team.
One thing that steve said, that I don’t think he had any idea what he was actually saying because he’s not a real cowboy, is that he was excited about Guthrie becoming larger and there being hotels and that the supply house wouldn’t be the only gig in town. He, and the others who think that’s a good thing, have no idea that the people who live there don’t want that. They don’t want to live in a city, they want to live in a town! That town is their home where they’ve grown up and raised their children! You watch, if it happens like Steve says, the people that made that place what it is today will leave, and then all you’ll have is a bunch of wannabe cowboy actors out in the middle of the country with nobody there to tell their dumbasses which end a horse shits out of!
Real cowboys don’t wear a hat indoors, mommy would not serve us dinner.
They also should make a movie of the Pony Express. That is a historical epos.
Hollywood promised: yeah bet on that one.
I live in Borger, TX - the 6666 ranch is south of town, between us and Panhandle, TX - it's a huge place, I've never seen the 6666 in Guthrie, TX
Hollywood will drop the fourth 6
Good point
I agree Hollywood should stay in hollywood
Got that right!
I just hoped that a Texan would of bought the Ranch we do not need any outsiders/BEECHBUMS buying such a historic ranch
@@rockyperez2828 Some out sider bought the Wagoner Ranch it took up part of five countries.Some one said it was a member of the Walton family? Well we still have the King Ranch ,at one time it was about the size of Road Island.
I’ve been in the land business for 20 years. This is becoming more prevalent, even in my families 100+ year old dairy farm. There are multiple heirs, they can’t agree on what to do with the land, and it’s worth enough at least one wants to sell out and the others can’t afford to buy them out, so it’s either parcelization or sell it all. Most don’t want the life anymore, it’s easier to take the money and run, we could not compete with large commercial operations, so they sold the cows and right now when my great aunt dies it’s most likely getting carved up and sold to developers. I hate it, but can’t stop it, I don’t have the cash for it and the income could not be self-sustainable to run it. I’m glad they at least sold out to a Texan who at least seems to want to continue it as a working ranch and has the revenue streams to support it. Say what you want, and history has yet to be written on the deal, but that Hollywood money might end up saving it in the long run…..
I think it’s a good deal for someone truly interested in the horse business buying the 6666. Much better than someone from New York city’s stock market buying it to make a profit on it no matter what happens.
I drive by the 4 6’s every time I drive to Lubbock to see my daughter at Tech… then watching Yellowstone ..I saw where it was mentioned! Just driving by I would think “damn that’s a nice spread” before knowing its history and future connection to the show.
I have visited the magnificent Four 6s and hate to think of it going to the Hollywood crowd; what a shame. I hope the heirs give Boots a million
I'm a
I'm afraid that Boots is gonna get the BOOT out the door. Corporate America doesnt give a chit about old dedicated cowboys
I am a born and raised Texan for 44 years. Never heard of the 6666 ranch until this season of Yellowstone.
Agree we all know the industry needs help getting kids and adults thinking horse is great
I’m glad to see the ranch preserved.
There are some lessons to be learned on Yellowstone. If you listen and use common sense. Western life has always been about surviving. I was raised using some these old ways teaching methods. Hard work, keeping your word and doing your job, no matter how shitty it was. Some will see the Glamour on Yellowstone and "Hollywood"up things out there. But there are some life teaching moments and maybe some clues for the generation that will see a way of life that ain't all video games and computers, high tech stuff, and sitting on their ass. Maybe they will learn a way of life that our ancestors fought so hard to make easier for the next generation but never imagined it would reach this level. Some of the old ways are still the best. Life on a "real ranch" ain't easy. Maybe some will get a clue and realize some modern stuff and old ways can combine and make things better.
I’m just hoping that they do indeed keep it whole and continue to let it run as a working ranch
I also hope to visit it sometime as it looks amazing
Steve basically described the exactly the direction the show is headed. Doesn't watch t.v.??? Texas, Forever.
They bought a ranch plus around 260,000 acres. I just wondering why they need that much space 🤔
Sad to see it sold and not employee owned, but so happy it didn’t sell to a Big Tech guy or some Chinese person. And at least the buyer was born in Texas.
I was fortunate enough to go to the 6666 Supply House last year. Got a long sleeve tee shirt, a coffee mug, and food since I was traveling in my camper van.
I’ve not seen Yellowstone. I don’t have or want a tv. Hah!
there will be a 6666 series the part of the YEllowstone series
If you do your research, you will find that "China" does in fact own a huge part of the Film industry in our Country. And chances are high that they are invested somehow in this purchase.
I Was Born In Paducah, Texas And I'm So Excited Have Friends From Paducah That Work At The 6666's Ranch Can't Wait To See The Movie.My Brother Has A Picture Of A Cowboy At The 6666's Ranch. So Excited
I believe I ate correct w how this is headed & kudos to Taylor Sheridan, well done & hopefully the spin offs will continue where there is something great to watch in regards to the western lifestyle year round & that they are all successful
I am not a big supporter of the sell out to Hollywood, personally. Most folks don't stop to think that perhaps those of us who live way out here, do so for a reason.... And perhaps we don't want hoards of tourists, big hotels and souvenir shops. There are things that mean more than the dollar, to some of us. Also, Mr Sheridan has Hollywood Corporate investors, whom include the Chinese. Please do your research. The information is there.
And with all the hoopla about the home market booming the way it supposedly is, all those calls, texts and emails to ‘buy your house’ are most likely part of that, too!! 😒
Unfortunately it will be too late it will end up just like liberal California it's so sad
For me they may make new western movies and a sieries like Dallas or Bonanza in it. It could get popular worldwide.
As a native Texan, I agree.
Not really Hollywood that bought it it was Taylor Sheridan who already owns and runs a decent ranch
And a movie on the Oregaon trail.
I hope they keep the name ,my filly,s 4xgreat grandsire joe hancock came from the 6666
When they did sons of anarchy all the folks wanted to be outlaws. Now everyone wants to cowboy. I guess it ain’t so bad.
Ginger’s facial expressions tell me what she is thinking
First the Wagoner ranch an now the 4 6's.
And the Buckle L over at Childress
The buyers have every right to subdivide it if they wish.
That said, I can't understand anyone believing any claim that it won't be.
My understanding is Miss Ann put in her will to sale it. I don't know why
Hollywood? Look up Sheridans bio, he is a cowboy FIRST, then a terrific writer. He his own LARGE ranch as well.
The piper tank is named after my great granddad Jon piper who died repairing it so the ranch put the boys on the payroll and the piper pens it hurt my heart but things change
Look into this. The buyer is Taylor Sheridan he grew up on a ranch in TX. I think he will maintain the history of the ranch.
Pretty sure Taylor Sheridan doesn’t own all of it. He is definitely one of the parties, but a studio like universal is the biggest investor. While I love Taylor Sheridan himself, he probably doesn’t have the final say so in what happens with the 6s. He’s the golden boy right now, but that will change unfortunately
Anne Marion had in her will.....my ranches are to be sold. Heirs had no say as to keep it or not.
I agree with you 3. But I just don't understand why she would sell the place. If they keep it some what like it is that will be great. New to your channel will subscribe and Thank You for sharing. Is the King Ranch bigger then the 4 6's?
Yes much bigger, king ranch is about 825,000 acres.
The person asking obviously doesn't like the idea of Taylor buying the 4 6's, they tried to be cute about calling him Hollywood.
I think it’s just sad. 😒☹️
Watch Season 4, Yellowstone describes horse breeds (mentions Geoffrey Sheehan, Bobby Patton's Metallic). Could "you'll" expand on the terminology/names used??? Thanks
Look up the horse metallic cat, he his a hall of fame cutting horse.
If you haven’t watched “Yellowstone”…why not!
It’s all positive for the 6666’s and Taylor Sheridan, is a true Texan .. all good ! Go Yellowstone .. amazing !
I don't mind Hollywood buying the ranch. Like you said they are keeping it a working ranch.
I want to know y Johnson and Johnson are involved in the selling of one of America's great ranches.
Where did you here that
I'm hoping that any revenue that comes from movies etc will go right back into the 6666. Keeping it a working ranch. Life is tough and just getting tougher. Sometimes to keep the tradition you have to have a "side gigg". While that is what I hope to see I'm by no means telling them what to do. Just hoping tradition and hisorstay alive.
I support 6666 ranch
This sale has not happened. It has not closed. FYI.
I just hope and pray Taylor Sheridan keeps his word and the four sixes remains the four sixes as it is and we love. I hope HOLLYWEIRD DOESN'T overtake and TOTAL DESTROY that part of Texas HISTORY like that DISGUSTING BUNCH FROM HOLLYWEIRD has done to what USE TO BE another part of Texas HISTORY. The Fort Worth Stockyards is slowly loosing it's HISTORY and becoming another Disneyland. 😪😪
All l can say. DON'T CALIFORNIA OUR TEXAS.
I have no good thoughts about Hollywood, we have learned some not so good things about the people in Hollywood. Hollywood will either change it for the better or the worse. Time will tell. Money really changes peoples morals and characters. JMO. Hoping for the best. WATCH it turn into the "new" LAS VEGAS! maybe the NFR and other big events will become of it also.
HOLLYWOOD HAS NEVER CHANGED ANYTHING FOR THE BETTER!
Taylor Sheridan is a Texas boy, he’s gonna hold it true n straight
Worst mistake ever, they will ruin its history
Better Taylor Sheridan who is born and raised in Texas then some Internet or computer billionaire like gates
The new owner is from Texas
How many heirs are there?
Why did the not evolve to make it a state park
Who Bought the 6666? And how do you know what they will do with it?
Taylor Sheridan purchased the ranch so he can film an offshoot of the Yellowstone show.Taylor grew-up ranching all his life in TX and owns another ranch there . I’m sure will do good buy the 6666’s!
Where. Is State and Federal help
Federal estate and income taxes are what is breaking up large family-owned farms and ranches.
The estate tax needs to be repealed now before all the family owned farms are gone, and corporate ranches own everything.
The heirs would rather get their money now and split up what will most likely be $200,000,000 to $300,000,000. I can see both sides for sure though.
Sold for 350 million one off deal including all cattle, staff, mineral, etc
Heirs didn't have a choice, the owner stated in her will for the ranch to be sold.
I'm afraid "Hollywood" is going to get a lesson in what it takes to produce cattle and horses in America. The added financial resources from Hollywood will no doubt help but the margins that this group is used to making, frankly the rest of the American markets are used to making, are far different than what ranchers and farmers make. Where else do you invest everything you have, every day, just to have a job, you can lose in a year? Takes guts, experience, faith, and a lot of hard work. That describes the American rancher and farmer.
God help the 4 6s future, the owner should carry on the traditions cuz thats history thats still alive there
Yeah 6666 RAM
Selling to chinese
No banjo music?
The kids that inherited the ranch are probably vegan.
Maybe watch the tape??? The ranch was sold as per instructions of the owners will.
Just keep the democrats out and the ranch will live on and thrive.
Well, seeing how it’s not really a ranch and only a tax shelter for an oil company why would it matter.
I’ve got a $1
Maybe I can buy it and takeover the ranch
I’ll do a better job keeping it a workin cattle ranch
I can only dream of being a cattle baron and their living my dream
HOLLYWOOD?!
WOW?!
Of all the people they could’ve sold it to
Should had donated it to the Veterans.
They sold out to "Hollywood" well that sucks
The whole damn world is a sellout
you people are foolish if you think it is going to remain the same. really, Hollywood?
6666 Disneyland Theme Park!?
It’s a bunch of shit.
Never get off yur horse.
