Drummond ranching traces its roots back to Frederick Drummond (1864–1913), who came to the former Osage Nation, Indian Territory in 1886 when he was just 22. Generations later, the family is still in the cattle ranching business with the Osage County ranch growing to be one of the most prominent in the industry. Ree married into the business in 1996, when she wed Ladd.
