Ree Drummond, also known as the star of Food Network’s The Pioneer Woman, lives on a ranch in the middle of Oklahoma. (snip) But how much land does her husband, Ladd Drummond, and his family actually own?
The story of how Drummond met her husband sounds similar to the way most people in their 20s meet a new love: Over some drinks at a bar. (snip) The two talked for a while, but they didn’t end up meeting again for another four months, when he finally asked her on a date. She said yes, and they hit it off. At the time, she had been planning to move to Chicago.(snip)
Today, the couple lives on a huge ranch in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. According to Two Peas and Their Pod blog, who visited Drummond to cook with her on the ranch, Drummond lives in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing in sight. This is because Drummond’s husband’s family actually owns more land than you can imagine.
In 2013, Modern Farmer reported on the country’s biggest landowners. While the Drummond family landed at No. 17 on the list, they still own more land than anyone probably thought. The family owns a total of 433,000 acres. To put that in perspective, that’s about 30 times’ the size of Manhattan. It’s unclear how many cattle and horses the family owns, but the family business, Drummond Land & Cattle Company, was founded more than 100 years ago by Ladd’s ancestors. Ree Drummond frequently shows the cattle and horses on her show.

Her husband and children are almost always working hard. The children always have good manners.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The kids are/have been home schooled - appear to have been raised well.
And she does not cowtow to liberal wokism. No transgender cowboys, no BLM pancakes.
So you give it to some other person instead ??
I can vouch for her “The Best Lasagna.Ever.” recipe. Of course, real Italians might balk but it actually is really good.

The Drummond ranch is outside of Pawhuska in Osage County,Oklahoma, which also covers the Osage Indian Tribal Reservation.
“the Osage” was one of the original big oil strikes in Indian Territory.
The Osage tribe pooled their oil royalties and divvied them up in the form of “head rights” which were awarded to each member of the original tribe.
the head rights were divisible & transferable, and greed and corruption prayed on the tribe & their head rights.
this led to the founding of the modern day “FBI”
for a fascinating read on the history of the Osage, you might try “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann
A very detailed novel describing the early days of the Osage.
I’ve heard the book is soon to be made into a movie on Apple plus TV.
They get millions from the government for taking care of wild horses. What’s to take care of? More for land conservation, etc. They grab every government check they can get. Wonder how many illegals they have employed.
So what?? The family has been ranchers for generations. Cows need room
I was wondering if her items were made in China. I try and stay away from as much Chinese made items as I possibly can.
Jealous???

The movie is in production right now in Osage County with Martin Scorsese directing and Leonardo DeCaprio starring.
Yes, they work hard. So many have no clue as to the work a rancher does.
I enjoy her show and recipes.
How very woke of you
Did you ever shop at a JC Penny or Sears or FW Woolworth???
Very northwest of you …petty and jealous
Meh
You could say that about most farmers as well. The govt subsidizes lots of ag
I can buy 21 of someone else’s metal spatulas for one of hers.
Or buy one of someone else’s for less than a dollar and put the $20+ difference toward the rent.
Uep, they get tax $$$ to allow horses to toam on their property
Let’s discuss how much land Gates owns.
These are actually feral horses. America once did have wild horses, but they were hunted to extinction by the Indians. A different species of domesticated horses were re-introduced by the Spanish, who taught the Indians how to ride and take care of them, but apparently not how to build fences, or wagon wheels.
She sure is no Giada Delarentis
What I find interesting is that several online stores now only say “imported” rather than saying where manufactured.
