Property Description

This well improved, combination livestock and hunting property is an excellent setup for a stocker cattle or cow-calf operation, with just enough excellent cultivation to serve as a winter or summer grazing area for supplemental crops. Some of the previously cultivated fields have recently been put in B-Dahl Bluestem. Recommended by the local NRCS office, this grass will tremendously up the year-round stocking rate as well as reducing the normal input costs of farming all of those acres. The ranch is perimeter fenced and cross-fenced, with separate pastures for rotational grazing. Ponds are located on each side of the B-Dahl Grass fields or fenced off so that grazing is allowed while resting the main middle native pasture. With separately fenced cultivation and B-Dahl fields, a rancher can run cattle in the winter and spring on wheat pasture, or plant hay grazer and cover crops for additional summer grazing. The native pasture along Wildcat Creek is prime hunting for Whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, quail, dove, and ducks on the ponds. This pasture offers a variety of heavy mesquite thickets with thick native grasses that flourish in the lower parts, and areas that are more open and clear. The middle area of the native pasture is mostly all lower land and wet weather creek areas. In normal years of rainfall, these hold water year round and add to the number of watering sources for wildlife and cattle. Throughout the native pasture area there are scattered hackberry trees and various other small hardwoods. At one time several acres of older improved grasses were planted in this area. Even with the regrowth of mesquite in this area the improved grasses are still very noticeable and provide excellent grazing.
