The United States Department of Agriculture has surveyed the ranch for preservation purposes, employing thirty cowboys and around 120 individuals. It boasts diverse assets including a huge wind farm with around 130 turbines and one of its lakes serves as a water source for the nearby city of Wichita Falls.

In August 2014, the ranch hit the real estate market with Sotheby's International Realty with an initial asking price of $725 million. Following negotiations, it was acquired in February 2016 by billionaire Stan Kroenke, the husband of Wal-Mart heiress Ann Walton Kroenke, known for his ownership of the Los Angeles Rams and Arsenal Football Club.
