Agriculture

The operations of the ranch have been skillfully thought out, leading to 60 years of good ranching. The calves are processed on the winter range when they come off the summer permit then weighed on the ranch scales and shipped out or weaned. If you choose to wean the calves there is a weaning fence between the fields, creating less stress on the calves. The ranch can be run by two good ranch hands and occasional day help, making the cost per head much lower than most ranching operations. The corral work is done at a central location allowing branding in the spring to weighing and shipping calves in the fall.

Improvements

There are working facilities for cattle and the hay fields, improvements in place are a 12 x 20 workers cabin/cook shack, a certified set of scales, a hydraulic chute, and a calf table. On the USFS permit section of the ranch where summer operations occur, there is a 1,326± square foot 2-bedroom cabin with indoor spring-fed plumbing, a one-room bunk house, a tack room, and additional corrals. The cabin and bunkhouse are privately owned and will be sold along with the cattle permit.
