Fencing is designed for convenient handling of cattle, all pastures and the cow pens are connected by lanes. Pastures are of various sizes to accommodate different handling needs. In some cases, four or five small pastures use the same watering and feeding areas by the opening and closing of gates in those areas.
The cow pens are constructed of all steel 2-inch pipe panels, (no boards to break or rot). A pole shed is constructed over the squeeze chute area, also there is a scale to weigh individual cows or calves, and a concrete loading ramp for loading and unloading livestock.
The ranch has an attractive "Old Florida" appearance with the oak and cabbage tree hammocks scattered through the property, which also provides much-needed shade for the cattle. All pastures are planted in various improved pasture grasses. In fact, you will find 200 acres of Floralta,40 acres of Kenhy Floralta (developed by the Seminole Tribe), 60acres of Jiggs Bermuda, 60 acres of Bahia overseeded with aeschynomene and the balance in Bahia grass.
In the past, some areas of the property were farmed, leaving some drainage ditches in place. The Seller has gone to great expense to clean and restore all the old ditches and laterals to get this property to drain properly. While working on the drainage, about 45 culverts of various sizes were installed, several with risers to better control the water flow and to hold up water during the dry periods. At present, drainage and irrigation are now well controlled on the ranch. The ranch is bound on the east side by the C-24 canal and the south side by the C-23 canal, of which the Seller has permits from SFWM to gravity flow water into and out of both canals. In addition, the owner has also obtained permits to drill seven wells to the Surficial Aquifer for agricultural irrigation of 300 acres with a maximum of 303.1 million gallons annually.
