Miller's Brothers 101 Ranch in Okahoma dwarfs Picken's tiny little 68K acres.

The ranch eventually covered more than one hundred thousand acres. . . . Miller's three sons, Joseph, Zachary, and George Lee, gradually became more and more involved in the family businesses. The ranch diversified by growing wheat, cotton, corn, Kaffir, alfalfa, various fruit orchards, and vegetables. Livestock included cattle, bison, hogs, poultry, and several horse breeds.

In 1903 George Washington Miller died from pneumonia. His wife, Molly, had the ranch turned into a trust with Joe as the chair and Zack and George as the only other members. The three split the responsibility, with Joe running the overall operations and farming, Zack controlling the livestock, and George handling the finances. As the operations continued to grow, the Millers added their own electric plant, a cannery, a dairy, a tannery, a store, and several different mills. The 101 experimented with crops, creating improved strains of corn and walnut, apple, and pecan trees. Promoted as the "greatest diversified farm on earth," the ranch continued to prosper in the early twentieth century. In 1909 Ernest W. Marland spearheaded the search for oil on ranch land, forming the 101 Ranch Oil Company. The successful oil venture increased the Millers' profits.

The 101 earned most of its notoriety from the Wild West shows that it staged. Their show business career began in 1905 when the Millers invited the members of the National Editorial Association to Bliss, Oklahoma, and entertained them with a large exhibition, which they called "Oklahoma's Gala Day." The event showcased the skills of their ranch hands and American Indians, including the famous Apache Geronimo, who killed a bison from the front seat of a car. The show also featured Lucille Mulhall, George Elser, and Bill Pickett. The affair's success led the Millers to take the enterprise on the road. It toured seasonally beginning in 1907. The show had a hiatus from 1916 to 1925, initiated by World War I, before it mobilized again and ran until 1931. In 1924 the production again performed in Bliss for the National Editors' Association. The brothers took the show throughout the United States and worldwide, traveling to Mexico, Canada, Europe, and South America. In 1914 the cowboys and Indians performed for King George V and Queen Mary of England. In Mexico Bill Pickett aroused the ire of bullfighters and the crowd by trying to bulldog one of their famed prize bulls.

Several entertainers who continued their careers in the fledgling motion-picture industry had connections with the 101. They included Will Rogers, Tom Mix, Jack Hoxie, Mabel Normand, and Buck Jones. The Millers leased equipment and loaned employees to the Bison 101 Film Company, which produced Western films in California. The road show continued and recruited stars such as boxing champion Jess Willard. In 1916 the production combined with Buffalo Bill Cody and toured as "Buffalo Bill (Himself) and 101 Ranch Wild West Combined, with the Military Pageant Preparedness."

Sounds nice, but @250,000,000,,,,,,I'm out!

Naw, we don't need no fences. But we could add a "recreation and guest house". ZZ Top could do a new tune in our honor. Hell, it has an airport, anyone know who Epstein's pilot is?

I like quail hunting.

I'd pick somewhere besides Pampa to spend my $1/4 billion...

LMAO at the clinic

Some big ole Mule Deer out their. Should be some Antelope too. Not to mention a schitt load of dove and quail.
And lots of coyotes. Probably some prairie dogs too.

There is a significant crack in the veranda brick floor. That's going to have to be fixed before I even consider an offer.

Been there before. Kids cant wait to get the long green. Now his buds are going to lose a good hunting spot.

Show off 😜

Was a deputy sheriff up in Spearman north of there for awhile.

I think that's the coldest place I ever saw, unless you count Guymon, OK...

And the hottest.

And the most tornadoes...

I’ve shot some Antelope between Pampa and Canadian.

I’ll write them a check!

About 3x what it's worth, IMO.
