the most storied family-run businesses in Texas history. Founded by Captain
Samuel “Burk” Burnett in 1870 when he purchased 100 head of cattle wearing
the “6666” brand from Frank Crowley of Denton, Texas. Burnett Ranches today
encompasses 260,000 acres including the Four Sixes Ranch headquarters, near
Guthrie, and the Dixon Creek Ranch, between Panhandle and Borger—both
