Ranch Highlights Acreage 23,665 Total 13,800 deeded 4,688 BLM (MT Allotment 00085 695 AUMs) 1,305 State (#2545, #6844, #8060) 3,875 Private Lease Features Premier grazing land All contiguous Extremely limited public access Hunting, wildlife viewing, photography Soil carbon capture/sequestration Water sport recreation Stargazing Year-round indoor arena (37,500 total sq.ft.) 30 minutes to Sheridan, WY Excellent Grass, Water, and Management Holmes Ranch is currently owner-rated to conservatively run 600-700 cows annually or the equivalent number of yearlings for the grazing season. The ranch is currently running both pairs and stockers. It operates with limited labor requirements and is perfect for investors who want a productive, low-overhead working ranch. The ranch has a thriving mixture of hardy native grasses and a mosaic of sagebrush, juniper, ponderosa pine, and other deciduous trees native to the area. It lies within the Deer Creek and Badger Hills watershed areas, each with seasonal flowing water, plus numerous springs and reservoirs. The large contiguous land mass is comprised of great grazing land, excellent grass, natural and developed water, and fencing infrastructure, which provides numerous and diverse enterprise opportunities for return on investment (ROI). A ranch like this can be operated without a lot of overhead and labor. Water Resources and Pastures The ranch has over 48 recorded water rights, some of which are surface rights on Deer Creek. The ranchs extensive high-producing wells with buried 3 HDPE primary water pipeline and 2 HDPE secondary lines provide a more than dependable and abundant source of water to nearly every pasture on the ranch on an on-demand basis, and most can be used on a year-round basis. This ranch is as well watered as any you will find. Six of the wells produce about 50 gpm, with more being added. Nearly all the water tanks use 12 diameter tire tanks set up to function through the winter. With all the water and abundance of grass, the ranch can support the grazing demands of its cattle operations in the hottest weather conditions. The ranch utilizes a regenerative grazing program, which includes 37 permanently fenced pastures with wildlife-friendly high-tensile wire. Temporary electric fencing further divides the larger pastures. The well-managed grazing system promotes management-intensive grazing (MIG) and allows an owner/manager to move livestock to promote regenerative agriculture practices. Such practices build soil structure through better root systems and soil cover, which helps improve water and carbon cycles, creating a better environment for all systems and enterprises above the soil. For the past 5 years, livestock have been used to build soil and store soil carbon (soil carbon sequestration). When a systems approach to land and ranch management is used, as it is on Holmes Ranch, all things work together for good. As the soil health improves, the grazing enterprises and wildlife resources also improve. Since the most important elements for livestock grazing are already in place, one can get right to it by hauling in truckloads of yearling stockers, pairs, or even sheep. Carbon Sequestration Extensive improvements in water and fencing have created 37 paddocks for intensive mob grazing practices, demonstrating the health of the ranchs soils. The abundance of grass reflects the significant amount of stored soil carbon, which has potential marketable value.
