Acreage & Irrigation- At
an elevation of 4,700 feet, the ranch consists of
approximately 1,650 acres, 1,082 deeded acres and 568
contiguous acres of BLM leased land. The 1,082 acres consists
of: 230+/- acres improved upland pasture, 300+/- acres
irrigated native pasture, irrigated from four (4) large
springs that provide ample water for the natural high mountain
meadows, 112+/- acres planted to a mix of wheat grass & dry
land alfalfa if desired, and the remaining 440+/- acres are
mountain rangeland, with native sage, grasses, and brush. All
water originates on the ranch and no water has to be shared
with neighbors. One well is equipped with a 40 HP submersible
pump and produces 500-600 GPM , and is used as needed for late
summer supplemental water. Tow additional wells are not
plumbed seller does not have well log, and has not had to use
them.

Carrying Capacity – This
ranch is one of the most inexpensive ranches to operate as one
person can run it with time to spare. It is capable of
summering 7 to 8 loads of cattle. Calves in late summer.
Cattle winter in the Sacramento Valley. The ranch would
produce enough hay to winter cattle at home if the alfalfa
ground was put back into irrigation for a hay crop. If run as
a feeder cattle operation, the ranch could support 600-700
feeders from late April to September.
Improvements – Improvements included a 2,300 sq. ft. four
bedroom, two bath home and office, which has recently been
upgraded. The yard is nicely landscaped with a pond, running
creek, and is nestled in a shady grove of mature poplar trees. |
The house and corrals are
supplied by the best tasting gravity flow spring water. Two
large, old style, barns provide hay storage, animal shelter,
and are aesthetically pleasing. The corrals are in good
working order with post and board construction, Power River
gates, and a large covered Powder River squeeze chute. A
20,000 lb. scale with scale house, large shop, and equipment
shed complete the stead. The ranch has ample buildings, is not
cluttered, and is a very clean place. Very little equipment is
needed to operate this ranch. About 50 hours are spent
dragging meadows in the spring. Otherwise, maintaining the
ditches and fences, and rotational grazing is all there is to
it. Hunting – Some of the best hunting in the Warner Mountains
have to offer can be found on the ranch or in the immediate
area. Game that is on the property are; mule deer, goose,
duck, quail, elk, pronghorn, chucker, and grouse. Two
landowner deer tags are allotted to the owners each year.
There is a draw for two annual elk tags for landowners in this
elk habitat area. Six to eight landowners have been in this
pool on a regular basis. Varmint hunting for the Belding’s
Ground Squirrel is spectacular with hunters paying $75.90 per
gun day from March through July. Furthermore, the ranch is
minutes away from excellent trout fishing in numerous lakes
and streams. The carrying capacities stated are actual
historical numbers. Future carrying capacities may vary due to
management and weather conditions.
