This 550 acre working ranch is divided into three main pastures and a
cultivated field. The main road is 3 miles long and runs from the front
entrance to the back gate. A low water bridge is used for crossing the
creek that runs across the property, and cattle guards serve as gates
for driving ease. We have an ATV road around the perimeter for fence
patrol along with roads to our lakes, blinds and feeders.
The cattle are rotated through the pastures while the exotics have free
range of the ranch in its entirety. The elk reside primarily in the creek
bottom while the Blackbuck roam from the north end to the south on a
daily basis.
