The hay production and grazing opportunities on this ranch are second to none. The ranch is comprised of approximately 160 acres of improved, open, and rolling pastures, with the balance being lightly too heavily timbered. Some of the pastures that are not currently in hay production could easily be converted to provide additional hay production opportunities. The improved pastures contain a blend of the prominent summer grass in Bermuda and is complemented with a spring carpet of Yellow Hop Clover, Hairy Vetch, and cool season grasses such as fescue and annual rye. With this combination, you have a very long forage season for your livestock. The annual yield rate on hay production can boast up to approximately 950 round bales, depending on the number of livestock you are running on the ranch. If you are not looking at producing that much hay, the seller has easily stocked 132 to 136 pairs while never overgrazing the ranch and maintained an annual production yield of approximately 425 bales to assist in supplementing his livestock throughout the winter months. Rotational grazing is possible with well-maintained fencing and cross-fencing in place for the eight pastures and nine ponds. The property consistently boasts on average in the top 3 micro-regions for rainfall for the entire state of Oklahoma per Mesonet State Data, which is approximately 55 inches per year of rainfallon average.
Not only is this ranch an incredible hay-producing ranch and an exceptional cow/calf operation, but it is also an incredible hunting property as well. The mature timber is comprised primarily of oaks, walnuts, pines, cedars, and a variety of other native hardwoods. The understory of the mature timber is extremely clean as a result of previous prescribed burns. With that being said, there is still ample forage underneath much of the timber. With approximately 1 mile of the national forest bordering the entire southern boundary of the ranch, whitetail deer, turkey, and other wildlife are in abundance, providing an incredible hunting property as well. A total of 9 ponds are located throughout the ranch. The three ponds near the main residence are stocked with catfish and bass. The remaining 6 ponds are stocked as well. There are multiple springs on the ranch that flow much of, if not all, of the year. Sit on the covered front porch overlooking the Bostonian Mountains, pastures, and three ponds, and watch the deer and turkey romp in the pastures.
