Silver Sage Ranch | Midvale, Idaho

INTRODUCTION I am very happy to present the Silver Sage Ranch, a true 400 head, year-round operation. The ranch is comprised of 3,788± deeded acres with another 39,000± acres of State, BLM and Forest service lease land, adjacent to the ranch. There is 250± acres of irrigated crop group under pivot with another 245± acres of sub-irrigated crop/pasture. The ranch is located east of Midvale, Idaho, in the North Crane Creek valley. What makes this ranch special is the true nature of being a 400 head, cow/calf operation, with enough irrigated land to grow hay in order to feed during the winter and sell what is not needed. North Crane Creek flows through the ranch from north to south and the ranch has two other year-round creeks flowing into the ranch. At present, the ranch is running 400 pair, with the overall rating of 450 pair. The past couple of years the ranch has produced 1,600 tons of hay. Silver Sage is located just over 2 hours north of Boise, Idaho. This is a ranch operation that works!

RECREATION hunting The property is located in the Hunting Units #32 and #32A which are managed for big game animals including elk and mule deer. The property and the surrounding mountains have resident herds of both deer and elk, and come September when pressure of hunting starts on the national forest, elk move down into the solitude of private land.

The big sage brush country is wonderful mule deer habitat with the big open hillsides and brush filled drainages. There is a variety of hunts in this unit starting with archery in early September and seasons continuing into November.

The pheasant and quail hunting is excellent with the irrigated farm ground and the lush habitat created by North Crane Creek, supporting ideal habitat for both birds.

Once you get up onto the slopes with sagebrush, you also find healthy numbers of Hungarian Partridge. The ranch also has a good number of turkeys throughout the drainage.

fishing The creeks are year-round although there is little to no fishing in the creeks. www.fayranches.com | (800) 238.8616 | info@fayranches.com

SUMMARY This is a ranch that you do not see come on the market very often. A true 400 head operation with irrigation enough to grow your own hay, 1,000s of acres of high quality grazing ground and located in a very ranch friendly part of the state. It is the ideal situation!

The irrigation system can be expanded and at present, the irrigated land and pasture are ideal for fall grazing and feeding into the winter. The hunting on the property is fantastic and in the past 5 years the ranch has seen very little pressure.

I look forward to showing you what this ranch has to offer!
