This property can be used as a cow/calf or yearling operation due to the mild climate with good summer grazing for yearlings and adequate winter protection for a year round cow/calf operation.
Mule Deer, Antelope, Dove and Quail are found in the area.
Income from approximately 276 +/- acres currently enrolled in the CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM provides additional (drought-proof) income for the ranch and will provide improved pasture grasses for use in grazing as the program allows and at the discretion of an owner (see the attached current CRP contract).
The rolling, Sandy Loam soi...
The rolling, Sandy Loam soil provides good drought tolerance and produces excellent Blue and Black Grama grasses together with several species of Sand-Drop Seed, Side Oats Grama, Little Blue Stem and other grasses.
Perimeter fences are good with a combination of permanent and hot-wire interior fences for a modified cell grazing system throughout the ranch.
Elevation is approximately 3,828 ft. with a 15.8 average rainfall per year.
The ranch will be well watered by a good well on a 13 acre tract just added to the ranch and to be connected with the current, extensive pipeline system on the ranch with water produced from shallow depths by a submersible electric motor and pump on electricity.
The Lutz Ranch adjoins the R.W. Ranch/CRP. The R.W. Ranch/CRP would make an excellent addition to this property. In the past the R.W. Ranch/CRP has furnished water for the Lutz Ranch with the pipeline system connected on both ranches.
The recent purchase of a 13 acre tract with a good well now provides water for the Lutz Ranch without water from the R.W. Ranch/CRP however the pipelines continue to be connected and would make the owning of both ranches very productive.
