The Wood family ranches on land owned by their ancestors since 1820.
Wood Ranch has been home to fine ranch-bred American Quarter Horses
since 1956. With few exceptions, broodmares owned by the Woods were
bred on the ranch or were bred by an AQHA Best Remuda Award recipient.
These include W.T. Waggoner Estate, 6666 Ranch, and R.A. Brown Ranch.

The Wood family
came to the
Pumpkintown
community in White
County, Arkansas,
up the Little Red
River in 1820 from
Tennessee. This
land has been
owned, ranched, and
farmed by the Wood
family continuously
since that time. The
Wood family has
always been involved
with livestock and
land, including the
breeding and raising of cattle and horses and farming rice, soybeans, and hay.
The ranch consists of 8,000 acres of pasture and farm land.

Wood Ranch runs horned Herefords, bred to Angus bulls, along with
Angus, Charolais and Black baldie commercial cattle. Along with this
they breed approximately 100 AQHA ranch mares. The mares are bred
to outstanding stallions such as Rey of De Playboy, by Dual Rey, Rey of
De Playboy is currently being shown in NRHA and AQHA events by Sam

with current earnings of $37,000 + and is currently being shown by Sean
Flynn. WR Smooth Whiskey, sired by Paddys Irish Whiskey has an AQHA
