The land consists mostly of open grasses and brush, and could contain a high AU stocking of cattle or goats, but also contains approximately 35.49 acres of mast-producing hardwood timber draws that run throughout the tract. The deer, turkey, and quail sign on this property are spectacular with abundant hunting opportunities all over. Amongst the beautiful native prairie are 2 large watering ponds and a creek that stays full year-round for your watering needs. There are currently no active leases in place, so the grass is ready for summer grazing! The deer trails are like highways through here, and the sheds confirm large bucks frequenting this parcel.
