Barnsdall, OK 74002(Osage County)

This combination native and introduced forage ranch is well located southwest of Bartlesville and within easy distance of Tulsa. The ranch was developed as a cutting horse training facility with an 18 stall barn, round pens, corrals, hay/storage barn and feed facilities. A large pond was developed with the ability to supply water too several pastures on the ranch and provides an area that is very attractive to water fowl . The approximately 75 acres of Bermuda based pastures are located along a small tributary of Bird Creek and this area offers additional acreage for pasture development. The native forage base of Tallgrass Prairie grasses, legumes and forbs, contributes to the forage base. The wildlife habitat enhances the population of deer, turkey, quail and other wildlife species common to the area. The elevation changes and the mixture of prairie and Cross Timbers habitat provide character not often found in a ranch this size.
