Richards Ranch

<p><strong>Richards Ranch is a turnkey cattle operation consisting of 595 surveyed acres that are second to none. The owners have raised registered Angus cattle here, running one hundred twenty momma cows and four registered Angus bulls. The ranch is comprised of cross-fenced pasture, fescue/timothy/clover hay fields, and hardwood timber. </strong></p><p><strong>Multiple hay barns, machinery barns, and storage sheds are located throughout the property. Corrals are set up for ease of working the cattle. There are nine water wells on the ranch that supply water to the frost proof waterers, in addition to eight ponds. The cattle do not have to travel far for water. A wet weather creek meanders across the ranch, providing fertile bottom ground that was once in alfalfa. </strong></p><p><strong>The hardwood timber consists of most of the oak species, white, red, post, and some pin oak are present. Deer and turkey hunting has been strictly regulated on this Ranch, and the amount of wildlife is amazing. The Ranch borders Dry Fork Creek on the Southeast corner of the property, and Schuman Ridge, known locally for the quality and size of the Deer population, lies just over a mile east of the Ranch. </strong></p><p><strong>If you have ever wanted a large contiguous tract of agriculture or outdoor recreation land in central Missouri, Richards Ranch is now offered for the first time in almost thirty years.
