In the past 18 months, the Winters Family has documented 92 unique bird species utilizing the safe haven of The Winters Ranch as a five-star home or destination during migration (based on AAA rating by Ducks and Migratory Birds Travel Companion).

The following 16 species of geese and ducks have been documented on-site: American Widgeon, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, Canada Goose, Eared Grebe, Gadwall, Greater White-fronted Goose, Green-winged Teal, Leser Scaup, Mallard, Mottled Duck, Northern Pintail, Ring-necked Duck, Ross's Goose, Snow Goose, Widgeon and Wood Duck.

A key foundation of the sanctuary is a Ducks Unlimited built watershed. Complementing the watershed is an array of lakes, ponds, streams and creeks. Completing the sanctuary are vast fields of improved grasses combined with densely wooded areas.

The Winters Family has diligently improved and protected Winters Ranch making it the perfect location for your weekend getaway or permanent ranch.

POTENTIAL REVENUE STREAMS

Winters Ranch has multiple potential revenue streams to offset some of its operating expenses.

(1) Cattle Lease. There is a current Cattle Lease for the improved grasses. The lease can be terminated with 90 days notice. The current tenants have expressed a genuine interest in retaining the lease if acceptable to the buyer.

(2) Hay production. Approximately 40% of Winters Ranch is improved grasses. It is harvested several times a year by the cattle lease tenants.
