The ranch in the past has been and continues to be a working ranch with cattle and goats. Having a good turf of native grasses and many different brush species ranging from live oak, cedar, catclaw, mesquite, mountain laurel, and persimmon make this ranch productive for livestock & wildlife. This ranch is cross fenced into eight pastures (the camp cell pasture is divided into 8 traps for a grazing system which reportedly works well).
