The ranch occupies more than 300,000 acres at the base of the Texas panhandle, in the state's second least populated county. Over the past century, non-native brush -- juniper and mesquite -- has covered much of the region, choking out the native grasses. But each year, the Sixes spends countless dollars and man hours to return the country to vast rolling prairie. The ranch's huge unbroken expanses and pristine topography made it an ideal place to film.
