Kent is joined by Sam Middleton, the seasoned West Texas ranch broker from Chas. S. Middleton and Son, who orchestrated the blockbuster sale of the 266,000-acre Four Sixes Ranch to a group led by “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan. Sam walks us through the grit and glory of brokering one of Texas’ most storied land deals, a testament to his decades in the ranch real estate game.

When Boone targeted Fran’s 15,000-acre ranch she refused to buckle. With a steely resolve and a rancher’s savvy, Fran turned Boone’s aggressive bid into a masterclass in negotiation, holding out until he nearly doubled his offer, leaving the billionaire stunned and the locals cheering.

From the Four Sixes to Fran’s triumph, this episode delivers a rollicking mix of history, heart, and the high-stakes dance of Texas land deals.
