Taylor Sheridan, the showrunner for Yellowstone and its universe of spin-offs, Landman, and Lioness, along with his partners David Glasser and Dan Schryer, finally announced that they have purchased Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in the Fort Worth Stockyards. According to a press release, Marti Taylor and Larry Heppe will remain as part-owners, and the group plans to “maintain the core essence of the menu” while preserving the experience that diners already know in place, including the cowboy decor.
In a recent interview with Hurtado Barbecue owner Brandon Hurtado, Eater Dallas learned that Sheridan has already been serving steaks from cattle raised on his Weatherford-based Four Sixes Ranch at Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, and that Sheridan is selling that beef to Hurtado Barbecue as well. “We’re the largest user of beef from the Four Sixes Ranch probably in the United States,” Hurtado says. “Cattlemen’s also uses beef from the Four Sixes, and it’s honestly some of the best beef I’ve had in my life.” Rosewood Ranch owner Kenneth Braddock shared with D magazine that he has been working with Sheridan and annually sends 60 wagyu bulls to the Four Sixes to breed with its Black Angus first-calf heifers.

The release also indicates that the restaurant has been undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation in recent months, which is still ongoing. The project will include the addition of new dining, bar, and event spaces, along with an outdoor patio and stage for live music, totaling over 20,000 square feet of new space.
Additionally, Cattleman’s will introduce Cattlemen’s Club, a private members’ club accessible from inside the steakhouse via a private elevator, with a limited number of memberships available for $3,000, accompanied by a one-time initiation fee of $1,000. There will also be an option for corporate memberships, which include up to four memberships, at $9,000 annually, with a one-time $1,000 initiation fee, and an additional $2,000 for each additional membership in the package. Members will have access to priority reservations at the restaurant, VIP access to live performances, exclusive spirits, a boardroom for meetings and events, and invitations to special events on- and off-site (we assume this means at the Four Sixes Ranch).
The renovations are expected to be completed during summer 2025, and those who would like to apply for membership can do so online.
