The bulk of the ranch lies south and east of the headquarters which opens up into expansive rolling hills and draws with the terrain being marked by native prairie grasses and yucca plants. Many species of migratory birds including Canadian geese, ducks, Sandhill cranes, and swans inhabit the lakes and ponds within the boundaries of the ranch and share the habitat with whitetail and mule deer, antelope, sharptail grouse, and pheasants.
