Excellent hay production can be noted when entering the stack yard and cattle facilities at the Eastern entrance of the property. Cattle chutes, feed lot, and sorting areas are designed and built from steel pipe for functionality and hard use. The grazing acreage in the south portion of the property features a diverse terrain--from dry bluffs overlooking the larger pond, to small meadows and large cottonwood trees along the canal. Knowing your herd will have good feed and a flowing, steady water supply is rest assured.
