Rainfall and Elevation: With an average annual rainfall between 21-23 inches per year, having a reliable source of feed and water is critical. The elevation nearest Deep Creek is around 2330' while the southwest corner rises up to 2375' in elevation. Cover: The majority of the property is fully open with thick creek cover along the property's east border. Fences: Fences are in fair condition, with the exception of the south boundary, where the fencing is nonexistent. The fence in place is metal and cedar post barbed wire.
