For the cattle rancher, this is a dream come true. 1850 acres of level grazing land, with around 1200 acres irrigated for grazing. Add a river running through the length of the property for 1.5 miles, two sets of corrals and cross fencing, you're looking at a well set up operation for around 400 pair and 100 +/- yearlings. And that's not all, the ranch also offers approximately 150 acres of farm ground irrigated with wheel lines. Recreational opportunities are abundant. The ranch qualifies for two landowner tags in the X1 deer zone, there are several duck blinds along the river, perfect for the avid waterfowl hunter. This property has been owned by the same family since the early 1920's and has been used for grazing, hay and recreation it's entire history. What a ranch!
