hill.
The south barn, the main livestock barn, connects to an alley on the south side that allows easy access
to all of the pastures except for 1. The west side also is connected to an alley that allows access to the
same pastures as well as the 6 run-in sheds. Inside the barn are (12) 10' x 10' pipe stalls, (3) 20' x 10'

To the west of the main barn, there are (3) 60 x 80 pipe pens with a 20' x 48' run-in shed on the north
side providing protection from the weather. Each pen is divided in half by pipe to make an actual total of
6 pipe pens. Each run-in is again halved and halved again providing 8' X 24' space to store hay, feed and
anything else away from the animal's reach and the elements while still allowing 11' x 24' of shed space
for the livestock to get protection from the elements. Access is provided by a 6' walk through gates at
each N corner of each shed and access to the enclosed portion provided by cut metal doors on each side
of metal run-in and a pipe gate on the livestock side of the run-in. Gates are also located on the S side,

and electric is available in all the sheds.
The middle barn is 40' x 80' with a 20' x 32' attached office, (16' x 32'office space and a 4' covered

The manufactured home (16' x 76') was ordered and built in 2007, sits up on a caliche/rock pad, is 3

x 24') and a back porch (8' x 16'). A separate (2) 750 gallon septic tanks are in place for the home and an
excellent 40 gal/min well provides all the necessary water for the ranch.
The remainder of the property is divided into 12 pastures with fencing (either pipe with bull panel, pipe
with net wire, sheep and goat net wire or a combination). Loafing sheds (3 sided) are in 7 of the 12
pastures. Perimeter fences are in good shape, the north property line has an 11 strand predator proof
barbed wire (only barbed wire on the premises) and the remainder of the perimeter fence in net wire.
Majority of gates are pipe, open both in and out and close off alleys to easily allow movement of
livestock to and from pastures and barn. Numerous gates are also present between pastures to again
easily allow rotation of pastures with minimal effort. Pastures are mostly native grasses with several
pasture in coastal. Water is available to all pastures at this time.
The ranch has an abundance of wildlife, deer, turkey, dove, ducks and foxes. Adjoining properties are
currently operated as working ranches or leased for deer hunting. There are two stock tanks on the
property, one that has not been dry under current owners and was re-stocked with bass and perch. As
previous stated the current owners are operating a portion as a veterinary clinic as well as having sheep,
goats and horses. This is an excellent opportunity for one wanting a multi-use livestock facility or a show
case horse facility.
