The wide entrance into the ranch makes for easy in and easy out for large 18-wheeler trucks.

The stockers are received into special care receiving pens for health assessments, vaccinations, and rest. Then released into various pasture traps and allowed access to grass with TMR supplements provided in feed troughs in the pastures. Then around the 90-day mark they are moved into dry lots with 475 sq ft per head living area. This could be reduced by half if more cattle were fed. The next phase, the cattle are moved into dry lots allowing for best ADG on TMR rations and high density rearing while maintaining a very low mortality rate. Each dry lot contains two 190-gallon water tanks with high pressure water supplied to each trough. The dry lots can handle 1400 head with a turnover every three months. Additional pasture could be converted to dry lots to easily increase annual outputs from the current 4,000 head to a maximum of 7,500 head per year.

Two high volume water wells are on site. One provides water to two livestock water tanks in the pastures of 3000 gallons each (one of the tanks is shared between two pastures). The other well provides water to the house. To access the fenced in water tanks the livestock walk under a special back rub and dust bags to treat for flies and lice. All of the concrete water tanks in the pastures and dry lots have concrete aprons, and each tank has its own on-off valve.



There are six separate paddocks of varying sizes. These pastures consist of two Bermuda Grass pastures, one Annual Rye grass pasture, and a mixed pasture of Bermuda and Native grasses.

Equipment:

A Supreme 900T TMR Mixer mixes forage with liquid supplement and a custom pelleted feed; Liquid Supplement TDN 81, Protein 20%. The 900T TMR mixer can mix 10,000 pounds each batch and deliver directly to concrete J-troughs. Fitted with a weigh scale that is accurate to the nearest 1.0 pound. Dual Mixer Screws cut forage to an ideal length so cattle can eat quickly but allows for healthy rumen digestion of the fiber with no acidosis issues. There are two 30-ton bulk dump stations with overhead drops, 25 tons of bulk commodity mix can be uploaded in the bulk storage system an average of 45 minutes start to finish. The Bulk Liquid Supplement Tank holds 30 tons and provides high speed liquid transfer.

The most important forage dry matter utilized is Sorghum Sudan grass and Alfalfa from local producers.

Facilities: The covered hydraulic squeeze chute sits on concrete pad with electric and lights. It also has a scale, the pressure setting top to bottom is 200 psi. The side bar holds the head still for other work, and side doors allow for easy access for body treatments. Cattle see a clear exit, so they move forward easily straight to the special Hydraulic Squeeze Chute (not V closed but opens and closes in parallel.). Rubber mats are in place where cattle depart the chute to prevent slipping. The alleyways are adjustable from 18 inch to 22 inches. A proprietary designed Bud Box provides optimum flow for fast and easy, and low stress loadout. The loadout accommodates 18-wheeler trucks and low trailers.

A fully insulated and wired 40’X60’ shop with concrete floor is in place. A wood heater is included and water is piped to a hydrant on the outside of the shop.

The livestock is currently sold thru auction as open heifer feeders or replacement heifers to local ranchers. This facility has a reputation for quality, sound heifers. There are at least five livestock markets within a 100-mile radius of the ranch: The High Plains Auction Company in Vernon, TX, The Plains Livestock Market at Quanah, TX, Texoma Livestock Commission in Texoma, OK, The Graham Livestock Auction Market in Graham, TX, and Amarillo Livestock Auction in Amarillo, TX. There are numerous feedlots within a reasonable driving distance also. There are also numerous packing plants in the area.

Development Potential

For the first time ever, this property is being offered, as one parcel of land, to the public. From Homesteaders to Hunter’s, this property has several locations to build your forever home, weekend getaway, hunting cabin or hunting lodge. The Seller just spent over $70,000.00 building and improving the roads, clearing trails, brush hogging, improving the ponds, and clearing a large building site that opened up views all the way across beautiful Eufaula Lake providing views as far as the San Bois Mountain range.

Sited 280 feet above lake level the three-quarters of a mile of lake views stretch all the way across the lake to the opposite shore and are spectacularly breathtaking! The road and trail system through the property allows for good access to most of the ranch. The roads are graveled and easily traveled by car. It is mainly heavily forested and interspersed with clearings conducive to livestock grazing or food plots for wildlife. The trees consist of a mixture of large mature hardwoods, and a few cedars. The predominance of Oaks provide good browse for the deer, turkey, and squirrels. Sand Plums and Persimmons also present an enticement for the deer to hang out on the land. Whether you are a rifle hunter or enjoy archery this ranch has many, many great locations.

Three ponds and three seasonal streams offer ample water for cattle and are an enticement for the deer to bed down on the ranch.

Primary road access is off Hoosier Road that is county maintained all the way to the property entrance on the east side. There is easement access for the road coming in from Rock Creek Road on the north. Rural water and electric are at the SE Corner of the property, just down the hill from the new opening with the amazing views.

There are five boat ramps near the property, with the nearest being about 2.7 miles away, making lake access quick and handy.

Ranches that provide this quality of hunting combined with the gorgeous views, private setting, and recreational opportunities on the land and at nearby Eufaula Lake are a rare find. If you are looking for a legacy property you must see this one!
