By BrainFall Staff - Updated: April 9, 2024

Ever wondered which rugged resident of the Dutton ranch you'd be? Since 2018, "Yellowstone," a drama series created by Taylor Sheridan, has been captivating audiences by pulling back the curtain on the conflicts surrounding the Dutton family's sprawling Montana ranch. The world of "Yellowstone" is rich with complex characters, from the relentless patriarch John Dutton, portrayed by the legendary Kevin Costner, to his fiercely loyal offspring and the dedicated ranch hands that never shy away from a little—okay, a lot—of dirty work.

So, grab your cowboy hat, and let's channel our inner Dutton. Are you the brains, the brawn, or the beauty of Yellowstone? Each character in this hit TV series, which has ruled the airwaves on Paramount from 2018 through our current year of 2024, brings a unique flair to the screen. It's not just about who you like the most; it’s about which "Yellowstone" cast member mirrors your own approach to wrangling life’s wild stampedes and standoffs.

As we mosey through the quiz, we're going to unveil which member of the "Yellowstone" troupe you're most aligned with. Are you calling the shots or keeping the peace? Are you wheeling and dealing in the boardroom or getting down and dirty in the bunkhouse? Our lives might not be as dramatic as a prime-time series, but that doesn't mean we can't have a hoot finding out which "Yellowstone" character could be our ranch-riding twin. Yeehaw! Let's get to it and find out who in the "Yellowstone" cast is your spirit wrangler!

Meet the Dutton Dynasty

Dive into the heart of Montana and you'll hit the sprawling Yellowstone Ranch, home to the Dutton family, a dynasty as rugged and enduring as the land they protect. Just like the steely Montana sky, the Duttons' tale is vast and full of intrigue, power struggles, and loyalty that's thicker than a grizzly's winter fur.

Patriarch John and His Brood

John Dutton is the modern-day cowboy kingpin, steering his family and ranch with a mix of iron will and weathered charm. With land that stretches farther than the eye can see, John is a man who knows the price of legacy. His cohorts: the fiercely loyal Rip Wheeler at his side and his children, each carrying a piece of the Dutton tenacity.

Beth Dutton: A Force of Nature

Beth Dutton is not your average rancher's daughter. She's a tempest in designer boots, wielding her intellect like a lasso to wrangle her foes. Whether she's trading barbs or sipping whiskey, Beth leaves a mark as indelible as the landscapes of Montana itself. She's the storm that never seems to pass, always ready to defend her father, John, and the Dutton Family name.

Kayce: The Reluctant Son

Kayce Dutton might wear the role of the reluctant son, but Montana flows through his veins as much as any Dutton. Straddling the worlds of the ranch and his wife and son, Monica and Tate Dutton, Kayce is a man caught in the crossfire of duty and dreams. Whether he's on horseback or staring down a moral crossroads, Kayce's heart is as wide as the open range.

Building Your Dutton Persona

To join the ranks of the Duttons, you've got to get the basics down. If you find yourself silently leading with a stern but fair demeanor, you might have the makings of Kevin Costner's character, John Dutton, the patriarch of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. Do you have a sharp tongue and a no-nonsense attitude like Kelly Reilly's portrayal of Beth Dutton? Or maybe you embody the quiet strength and loyalty of a ranch hand like Lloyd Pierce, played by Forrie J. Smith. Let's break it down:

• The Leader: You command respect like John Dutton.
• The Firecracker: Your wit is deadly, and your will is ironclad like Beth.
• The Outsider: Like Jamie Dutton, portrayed by Wes Bentley, you've got a complex relationship with your family.
• The Loyalist: True to your friends and the ranch, you could be a counterpart to Cole Hauser's Rip Wheeler.

Embrace your quirks: Do you deliver sage advice like Gil Birmingham's Thomas Rainwater, or are you a protector of the land like Kelsey Asbille's character, Monica Dutton? Reflect on these elements and gear up, because we're heading to the next rodeo where you'll lasso your match.
