Pearsall, TX 78061(Frio County)

The ranch has one major pond and several smaller ponds designed specifically for wildlife. Buck Creek and another tributary have been diverted to the main tank. There are two Carrizo Aquifer water wells located on the ranch; one well is located near the east boundary and was drilled in 2008. This well is equipped with a five-horsepower electric submersible pump and has six-inch casing. There is some above ground black plastic pipe connected to the well that runs nearly the entire length of the ranch. It starts out as a four-inch pipe, then decreases to three-inch, and two-inch pipe. The previous owner had connections along the water line for sprinklers to enhance quail habitat.

The other Carrizo Aquifer water well was drilled in 2013 and is located near the western boundary of the property. This well has historically not been used much but could be connected to the water line to provide backup or additional water capacity. There is also a windmill located on the eastern part of the ranch. This windmill is in working condition and connected to a water trough with overflow water going to a small earthen pond. All water is potable.

The ranch has two, high-fenced small fields for wildlife, equipped with irrigation risers scattered throughout the fields. The larger field located on the east side of Buck Creek is approximately 15 acres in size and has a small pond inside the fence. The second field is approximately 10 acres in size and is located on the west one-third of the ranch. Fields are starting to grow back with regrowth brush.

The previous owners have managed this ranch primarily for quail, dove and turkey hunting the last 15 years. The ranch has a great combination of native grasses, forms, trees and dependable water for the wildlife. The deer and hog hunting was leased out according to previous owner. There are also two hunting cabins located next to the water well on the far west boundary. The cabins are in fair shape and can still be used. They are hooked up to electricity and can be hooked up to the water well.

After we discovered caliche/flexible base material on the ranch we engaged Howland Engineering and Surveying out of Laredo to assist in locating test pit areas and taking samples of material for Atterberg Limits and Sieve Analysis testing reports. We brought in an excavator and dug over 40 test holes under the supervision of Howland Engineering representative technician. Some test holes were 20 deep and we still had not reached bottom of the caliche deposit.
