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.
