I knew Taylor Sheridan was a busy guy, and I’ve always had trouble trying to figure out how exactly he’s able to work on so many shows while also being a ranch owner and cowboy in his own right. Well, now he’s explained what his days look like, and I genuinely don’t know how he’s been able to write and work on shows like Yellowstone and Landman while also doing everything else he’s committed to.
Between the 2025 and 2026 TV schedule, Taylor Sheridan served as the showrunner on 1923, Landman, The Madison and Lioness, and he was an executive producer and writer on Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King, while serving as an EP on Marshals and Dutton Ranch. However, that’s not all he does. He owns the Bosque and 6666 Ranches in Texas, and ranching is no small job. While speaking to Town & Country, he opened up about how all this impacts his day-to-day life, explaining:
The horses come first, so you work the horses. Then I work on me, which would be going to the gym. I try to ride four hours a day.
Earlier in the story, Sheridan noted that his work in television and movies helps him pay for his horses, and those animals take up a lot of his day too. To dive into those details, he helps train horses in cutting, specifically. Cutting is a very precise practice where cowboys use a horse to separate cows from a herd, and you can actually see it on display in Yellowstone (which you can stream with a Peacock subscription).
While the Bosque Ranch is more focused on horses, the 6666 is a cattle operation. So, he’s got his hands full overseeing two major operations, and that’s not even counting the work he does for television.
Funnily enough, in the cutting arena, Sheridan has an editing bay where they can work on his TV shows. The projects that can mostly be streamed with a Paramount+ subscription take up the other half of his day, as he explained:
Then the rest is dedicated to whatever the problems du jour are.
As I mentioned earlier, Sheridan is a writer, EP and showrunner on multiple projects. He also acts in Lioness. Many of these shows are moving into new seasons too, like Landman, The Madison, Mayor of Kingstown, Dutton Ranch, Marshals and more. So, he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. Again, while he’s not as involved in the Yellowstone franchise as he once was, he is still the boss of Landman, Lioness and The Madison.
That is no small feat by itself. Just thinking about his shows, I can’t understand how he gets it all done. When you add in the work he does with his ranches, it becomes even harder to comprehend. But somehow he does it, and clearly he has a good system down. So, as long as he has that, he’ll keep writing and cowboying, and we can keep enjoying his work.
