Ismay, MT 59336(Custer County)

The JR Bar Ranch is a self sustaining highly productive Eastern Montana Ranch. There is a total of 2,451 acres of which, 1,831 acres are deeded and 620 acres are lease ground. The topography varies from Fallon Creek bottom to rolling hills. The ranch is well watered using reservoirs and wells. Irrigation water is pumped out of Fallon Creek and floods across the fields southeast of the headquarters. Historically, the owner ran 125 mother cows and produced their own hay. A large stretch of pasture encompassing several miles on both sides of Fallon Creek provides more dense forage and good cover for livestock and wildlife. Through the years, there has been impressive bucks harvested off of the ranch and a cackling rooster pheasant can always be found while driving along the creek. The Historic home on the ranch has four bedrooms upstairs and a large living space on the main floor. A sucker rod coral system makes livestock handling efficient and low maintenance.
