Cattle along with Blackbucks and Fallow deer are frequently seen in the open areas in the middle of the ranch with deer, Elk and Sika deer found up in the higher areas.

Improvements

There are covered wings on each side that measure 20 x 40. These areas are currently used for storing hay. A small, covered shed is located in the center of the ranch along with an old antique single room home. 

   An adequate set of working pens for cattle is located in the southwest portion of the ranch with easy access from the county road.

   There are several feeders including protein feeders located on the ranch along with a couple of blinds.  The perimeter is completely high fenced with entrances on two sides.

Water Features

   The property has very good water features starting with 3 water wells scattered throughout the ranch.  One is located near the barn and pumps approximately 20 gallons per minute.  The other two are not currently in use but could be hooked up.  There are 5 really nice tanks located in different areas of the ranch.  They are stocked with fish and have had bait fish added in the past.  The big attraction is the lake in the NW corner of the ranch.  It is 5+ acres, stocked with fish, and has beautiful views from all sides.

Hunting

   The owner has never allowed anyone but a few friends to hunt on the property.  The ranch is completely high fenced and contains Black Buck antelope, Sika deer, Fallow Deer, Elk and Whitetail deer. The whitetails come from great genetics and will provide some giant bucks in the future.  Turkeys and Hogs can also be found on the ranch. Duck and Dove hunting is good in season.
