At times, the Sulphur Creek has high Sulphur, magnesium, and other minerals that are not suitable for livestock consumption. For this reason, Bill has implemented all of the quality water sources being offered.
Located in cattle country of west central South Dakota, Sulphur Camp & Cattle Creek Ranch is about 25 miles north of Union Center with tremendous access from Sulphur Cut Off Road to the north and Fairpoint Road to the east. Deluxe pronghorn, mule and whitetail deer encamp along the wooded gullies of the Sulphur Creek, Camp Creek and Cattle Creek, providing 5+/- miles of creek bottom on this ranch. This gently sloped, contiguous ranch is naturally equipped with an abundance of river bottom hay land, three wells, 14 dams/dugouts, 8 tanks, a building site with a mobile home, barns, sheds, and corrals, all with quality fences.
Having implemented many management practices over the last 30 years, you can see the pride Bill Kluck has in stewarding this land to maintain long-term quality production. Fencing has been meticulously maintained with the implementation of abundant water sources. The hay production is an asset for any ranch, as well as the wooded creek providing excellent shelter for livestock. The leases attached to this ranch help the bottom line with lower overhead costs, essential for a successful operation.
Wildlife including mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, turkey and upland game birds attract to this 4,655+/- contiguous acre range.
