The ranch operations have been skillfully thought out, leading to 60 years of quality ranching. The calves are processed on the winter range when they come off the summer permit, then weighed on the ranch scales and shipped out or weaned. If you choose to wean the calves, there is a weaning fence between the fields, creating less stress on the calves. The ranch can be run by two good ranch hands and occasional day help, making the cost per head much lower than most ranching operations. The corral work is done at a central location, allowing branding in the spring to weighing and shipping calves in the fall. The acreage includes some irrigated land surrounding the corrals and is critical in this operation. The water comes from Disappointment Creek and is good until early July, giving the ranch one cutting of hay, and approximately 300 round bales, leaving good pasture for the fall. There is 271 acres of irrigated land, 142 acres that are fallow, and the ranch offers 15 cfs of water rights. The ranch has enough acreage that you rarely need to feed the cows, as there is enough pasture to graze. Cattle are trailed to their summer and winter range but never leave the ranch property, so no trucking is needed.

The ranch could offer other opportunities such as hunting and recreational ventures for future growth. Located in Game Management Units 70 & 711, the ranch is home to a plethora of wildlife including mule deer, elk, bears, mountain lions, antelope, mountain sheep, and turkey. Bald eagles and wild horses can also be spotted in the area.
