Inside Ree Drummond's $200 Million Oklahoma Ranch—Just Like 'Yellowstone'
It's no secret that Ree Drummond—a.k.a The Pioneer Woman—loves her Oklahoma-based ranch. Not only does it serve as the background for her shows, The Pioneer Woman and Drummond Ranch, but it is also where the mom of four raised her children and now her grandchildren as well! But what exactly does the ranch look like? And does the Drummond family really have a wide variety of animals that they take care of? We look into all of that and more below! Where is the Drummond ranch? Despite the fact that Ree is one of the people heavily associated with the ranch, the land itself belongs to her husband Ladd's family. Spanning back five generations, the Pawhuska, Oklahoma-based ranch is home to Drummond Land & Cattle Co., which Ladd and his brother Tim run. It also houses a number of their extended family members and even has a small cemetery where several generations of past Drummmonds have been buried. Additionally, the ranch serves as the backdrop for her new YouTube show, Drummond Ranch. which highlights what working on the ranch is like. 'We have always wanted to show more ranching and agricultural moments in my cooking show, but because it's a cooking show (obviously!), we were always limited in the amount of time we could spend on the non-food component,' Ree wrote on her website in June. 'You'll see cowboys, weather, the dynamic between Ladd and his brother Tim, and you'll hear about the different kinds of cattle operations, markets and what it's like in a family where all the kids are growing up and trying to figure out what role they will play in the ranch's future.' How much is the ranch worth? The ranch is estimated to make $2 million annually and is valued to be worth around $200 million. Along with the ranch, Ree also has The Lodge, which is where family dinners and filming for her Food Network show The Pioneer Woman are held. 'The Lodge is 18 miles out of town on an unpaved road. I thought somebody would get a flat tire,' Ree said via her website. 'But Ladd pointed out that people are coming all the way to Pawhuska to visit our store and restaurant. He wanted to expand their experience.' Ree also explained that while The Lodge is a very homey place, it's not her home even though she films there. "I decided to do it there because I often used The Lodge kitchen for events and gatherings... and because my house was full of kids at the time!" she said on her website. The Lodge is available for free public tours, and you can find out more information on how to go on one here! Another part of the house that Ree loves is her backyard gardens, which she always posts videos about her Instagram, one of which you can watch below! And finally, what's a multimillion-dollar home without a gym? And in true Ree fashion, hers is both lavish and understated at the exact same time. We just wonder which machine is her favorite! A look at the animals on The Drummond Ranch One thing Ree loves is animals, and her ranch is home to a variety of them. Her most talked-about animals are, of course, her seven dogs, which she loves more than anything. 'They [her dogs] set up shop on the front porch,' Drummond said in 2022. 'They each have their own little bed on the front porch. They're outdoor dogs mostly anyway, and they have a whole barn to themselves if they want to go sleep in the barn sometimes, but they hardly ever leave the porch if we're home. It's really funny.' The family also has several different types of cattle as well as other, less talked about farm animals. 'When it comes to working cattle, my philosophy is this: if they need me, I'll jump right in and start working. But if they don't, I really don't have any desire to symbolically 'be in the pen,' Ree wrote on her website in 2008. 'I will be there if I'm needed. But if I'm not contributing anything to the overall progress, I'd just as soon sit on the sidelines on my keister and do what I do best: be utterly and unabashedly worthless. But I'm OKAY with that! I really am. Don't cry for me. I am at one with my worthlessness?' For more Ree Drummond content, keep scrolling!

Tournament near misses have helped Wales build and evolve
Wales will end their long wait for a major tournament appearance against the Netherlands in Lucerne on Saturday – and 105-times capped Everton defender Ladd has had a longer journey than most. She won her first Wales cap in Switzerland 14 years ago and was part of teams that went close to qualifying for Euro 2022 and the 2023 World Cup. Ladd said: 'It is frustrating when you're in those moments and you feel the team can do better. 'But I reflect on those campaigns under different managers and I believe it has built us up to where we are now. 'We've learned different styles and we've got different attributes as a group. We've been tested along the way and that experience has rolled into us being in a really good shape now. 'It helps us that we've got to a major tournament having been through all that heartache. We've evolved and with time we've added more layers to our game. 'Losing the World Cup play-off to Switzerland (to a last-gasp goal in extra time) hit hard, especially being in the back line, but I didn't feel in that game we're as confident as we are now.' Ladd returns to Switzerland at the Euros having made her debut in the Swiss town of Saviese against New Zealand in June 2011. Only team-mates Jess Fishlock, Sophie Ingle and Angharad James have won more caps than the 31-year-old. She said: 'I've got such fond memories of that first camp. It was up one of their amazing mountains and it was magical getting my first cap there. 'To go back to Switzerland with this group, with all the hard work we've put in, is a really special moment.' Wales, the lowest-ranked team at Euro 2025, are also in the same group as France and defending champions England. Ladd was born in St Albans in Hertfordshire but qualified to play for Wales through her Haverfordwest-born father. Prep time 🏃♀️ — Wales 🏴 (@Cymru) July 1, 2025 'I couldn't believe the draw,' said Ladd. 'I had to take another look and let it sink in. 'England is a derby game and the teams in our group are particularly good. But you realise it's the biggest stage and you're going to play the top teams. 'There's the added element that teams may underestimate us because the group is so strong, and that could play to our advantage. But there is no shying away from the quality of the teams in our group.'
