Stuart Ranch

Stuart Ranch has been in the same family since 1868, the oldest ranch in Oklahoma under continuous family ownership. Spread across more than 40,000 acres in Jefferson and Stephens counties, it raises cattle and horses from bloodlines that run back generations. Terry Stuart Forst, the first woman to lead the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, has run the ranch for more than two decades, working alongside her sons.
