Meet the family behind the oldest ranch in Oklahoma

As the oldest ranch in the state of Oklahoma under continuous family ownership, the Stuarts carry on tradition and values dating back to 1868.

Terry Stuart Forst heads up the operation at Stuart Ranch along with her two sons, Clay and Robert. These are the sixth-generation Stuarts, named after their ancestors who continue to run the operation that spans over two properties now and more than 44,000 acres..

Stuart Ranch continues today, as the first ranch to be inducted into the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Hall of Fame, with Stuart Forst being recognized as a woman who has excelled in her field while exemplifying the pioneer spirit of the American West.

The ranch is featured as part of Can-Am’s Livin’ The Land video series, which explores some of the great people of rural communities.
