Improvements: There is a 2003, 1,512 squ. ft. Marlette double wide that has a mud room, porch and custom countertops. Two hays barns that are 64x72 and 40x60 that hold approximately 350 tons of hay. A 20x60 shop with concrete floor that also has a 15' overhang for parking equipment. A machine shed next to the house is 24x40 and is super handy parking vehicles and side x sides. There is a newer machine shed by the hay barns that measures 27x56 that will keep hay equipment dry during the winter. A park model trailer provides extra room when company shows up. The corrals are very workable and have pens for separating and holding. The Powder River squeeze chute is covered to keep either sun, rain or snow off while working. A nice pond stocked with Catfish and stout has a floating dock to fish off of next to the house that stays full year round.
Irrigation: There are 134 acres of water rights on the ranch. 64 acres are covered via pivot. The pivot pulls water from the ditch until mid July or August 1st and then it will pull from the 100gpm irrigation well until October. The balance of 70 acres is irrigated via ditch. Owner states that "once everything is set up, it takes 20 minutes to irrigate every day".
Crops: Pivot pasture is alfalfa/grass mix and is definitely in demand by the valleys horse people. The other pastures are in a grass/clover mix. Owner averages 400 tons of hay when they fertilize in the spring. 150 acres of the 166 are cut during haying season.
Cattle: Owner states that the ranch will run 60 cows year round and be able to put up enough hay to winter them also. 7 fenced pastures ensure you will be able to rotate cattle to fresh pastures throughout the summer and aftermath graze on your irrigated in the fall.
General: This ranch is truly a great producer. There are not many properties out there that are this manageable that will run 60 cows or cut 400 tons of hay with minimal effort.

“My experience with you as a Realtor has been almost too good to be true-especially after seeing some others in practice. I think the two things that stand out the most were the quickness in which you returned my inquires-phone calls and emails-and how you explained each process in a way that I could understand. In each profession it is easy to use a “language” that often leaves the customer just nodding their head but not really understanding what is happening. You took the time to explain each step and before I signed the “dotted line” I did know what was happening. I also appreciated the professional, yet kind way you dealt with the circumstances that went with the last sale. Fruit of the Spirit flowing from you!”

What is a ranch?
A ranch is an area of land, including various structures, given primarily to the practice of ranching, the practice of raising grazing livestock such as cattle and sheep most often applies to livestock-raising operation in the Western United States, though there are ranches in other areas. People who own or operate a ranch are called ranchers, cattlemen, or stockgrowers. Ranching is also a method used to raise less common livestock such as horses, elk, American bison or even ostrich, emu, and alpaca.
Ranches generally consist of large areas, but may be of nearly any size. In the western United States, many ranches are a combination of privately owned land supplemented by grazing leases on land under the control of the federal Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service. If the ranch includes arable or irrigated land, the ranch may also engage in a limited amount of farming, raising crops for feeding the animals, such as hay and feed grains.
What is it like owning a ranch?
Owning a ranch can provide intangible benefits such as uninterrupted family time and the enjoyment of nature. Choose your property wisely and manage the land carefully, and ranches can provide tangible benefits as well. Well-run working ranches can yield 1 percent to 3 percent of income annually.
