The Four Sixes Ranch represents both the present and the past for Burks and Burnett's descendants, who value their family history, heritage and place in American history.
This historic property was founded over 150 years ago, and few ranches in the United States can match its foundation in 1870. It is of course an honor for 6666 Ranches to represent the sale of their prized Dixon Creek Ranch. A ranch of this size and importance is only released once in a lifetime. We are honored to represent the 6,666 Ranch for sale as a truly historic ranch property.
The story of the Four Sixes began when Burnett bought a herd of cattle at the age of 20 with the trademark 6666. Soon he bought Dixon Creek Ranch in the Texas Panhandle and began to develop his eight ranches into a ranch known today as "6666." At the northern end of this ranch is the largest cattle herd in North America, with over 1,000 cattle and over 2,500 hectares.
The ranch is generally measured in the north and is crossed by five large bottom streams that flow in an easterly direction.
The Four Sixths states that the ranch has produced and developed some of the most highly recognized Quarter Horses in the United States, combining proven maternal genetics with sires that have led to race, cut, cows and ranch performances. The water system is considered very well irrigated compared to the typical ranches in this area and is the only one of its kind in North America. It is an important source of drinking water for the entire ranch area and the 6666 Ranch is generally well watered.
Although the removal of scrub is not a problem, the presence of the Dixon Creek Ranch cattle farm itself contributes to the overall reputation of this property. 6666 Ranch is located in an area that offers excellent access to a variety of natural resources, including water, grassland, forests, rivers, lakes and streams.
The ranch has introduced an ongoing brush control program, which generally spends about $100,000 a year on mesquite spraying, with front loaders clearing cedars. The ranch spends between $50,000 and $60,000 a year to control and eradicate bear grass and prairie dogs.
In the southwest corner of the ranch is a 6-pivoting sprinkler system, which is individually fenced. The rest of the ranch is surrounded by 5-6 wire fences with barbed wire, with 5-6 wire fences on the north and south sides. Overall, the 6666 Ranch is well maintained and is considered one of, if not the best of its kind in North America. No bushland removal or conservation measures have been taken on this property, but the program is very successful and it is recognized as the National Park Service National Historic Landmark and the Arizona Department of Natural Resources Historic District.
