Enjoy plenty of stock ponds and trails that allow access to all areas of the ranch. 90± acres of dryland on the west side of the property could be improved with a pivot, and this west area would also make the perfect place for a home site with excellent county road access. Agent Note: There will be approximately 100 head of elk on the property at all times, with the right mix of bulls, cows, and calves depending on the time of purchase.

There are 3 Registered Wells, the west well supplies water to three tanks via pipeline. The seller runs between 220-250 pairs of cattle through the five month season on the land. Going rate is $450-$550 a pair for a 5 month grazing season. Current owners would rent back the land for the grazing season if there is an absentee owner that would need a tenant.
