Consisting of approximately 1,580 contiguous acres, the ranch is currently utilized as a cattle backgrounding operation. The headquarters include a modern receiving yard (professionally designed and covering nearly 32,000 square feet) with twenty-six pens and four sorting alleys, a Flying W hydraulic chute and alleyway, livestock scales, dual load-out chutes, and a full-service veterinary clinic.
This contiguous ranch is divided into 16 main pastures and seven traps with ten sets of 40'x300' steel pipe pens with approximately 4,900 linear feet of bunk line, five pastures with concrete feed bunks and feed road, seven smaller starter/calving pens with feed bunks and feed road. There is good interior graveled road access and 35 cattle guards for efficient pasture access. The owners typically fertilize around 600 acres annually with locally available chicken manure. The cattle backgrounding operation historically worked with a maximum stocking capacity of approximately 4,000 head. The covered receiving yard serves as the headquarters of the operation and is situated near the south boundary with good private road access from the county roadway.
