Coutant Creek Ranch
Located just 16 miles northeast of historic Sheridan, Wyoming, the Coutant Creek Ranch offers a serene setting with sweeping views of the Big Horn Mountains completed by two meandering creeks, well-watered and high-producing hay meadows under sprinkler irrigation, summer grazing pastures, a custom newly built home plus guest quarters, and habitat for upland birds, waterfowl, and trophy class mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and white-tailed deer.

The ranch irrigates just over 300 acres of highly productive creek bottom with 3 center pivots, 5 wheel lines, and additional flood irrigation. The ranch has substantial water rights from Lower Prairie Dog Creek and can easily irrigate 2 cuttings of hay, with potential for a 3rd cutting if an owner desires. In 2023, the ranch produced 1600T of grass/alfalfa mix hay over 2 cuttings. The current owner runs a commercial cow/calf operation and rates the ranch at a 250 AU carrying capacity. The ranch would lend itself nicely to a yearling operation or a winter hay base to a larger operation. The balance of the ranch boasts a rich riparian area, rolling native hill country, plus captivating juniper and cottonwood trees. The summer pastureland is watered by a buried pipeline and numerous reservoirs making the entirety of the ranch usable and accessible. Built in 2021, the 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom custom home is situated to absorb mountain and pasture views with vaulted ceilings and a desirable open floor plan and rock fireplace. A shop with an apartment above, cattle corrals, and shelters round out the improvements which enables immediate livestock support.
