The clear running waters of Cowhouse Creek create a very peaceful park like setting on the northern portion of the ranch. With more than a half of a mile of frontage on both sides of this excellent water source, the water shed to the creek allows for a very productive bottomland setting for B Dahl hay production. Currently the property has a 56+/- AC hay pasture that is perimeter fenced and another 18 +/- AC pasture across the creek that is not is specifically fenced off but is also used for hay production. According to the farmer cutting the hay, the first cut of 2015 yielded over 250 round bales. In addition to the creek, there are eight other stock tanks and/or ponds located on the property of various sizes.
This recreational ranch has a combination of grasses, woodland setting, and rolling pasture land, to make it a very versatile property. The wide variety of trees, including live oak, blue juniper, post oak, mesquite, cottonwood, and pecan help attract an abundance of wildlife. The rolling grassland and hilltop vistas add to all the breathtaking beauty this ranch has to offer, while the protective draws add to the excellent cover for wildlife. In addition to the hay production and recreational aspect of this ranch, the property currently has a cattle operation, and some pecan harvesting in place.
