Inside Texas' 165,000 Acre Pitchfork Ranch 140 Years of Cattle, Cowboys & Survival

The Pitchfork Ranch has survived 140 years without selling a single acre or taking on debt. It's one of only two West Texas ranches from the 1880s cattle boom still operating under the same ownership.
When most ranches failed during the droughts and depressions of the early 1900s, the Pitchfork kept growing. Today it covers 165,000 acres with 4,500 mother cows managed by just 10 full-time cowboys.
