The owners have used some of the timber growing on the ranch over the years for building structures and fencing on the property. The grass is a mix of fescues and bluegrass. and stays green in the valleys where the natural springs keep it moist all summer. Your cows will love all the forage to fatten them up and there is plenty of shade to keep them cool during the middle of the day. This is a great place to raise live stock the pastures are sectioned off to help keep from over grazing. There is a contant water supply from the natural springs. The pond located at the top of the property that is also fed by fresh spring water has water in it year around and has been used for irrigation in the past. There is plenty of big timber on the Ranch mostly Red Fir, Pine and Quaking Aspens. General OperationsProperty is currently leased to a cattle rancher for grazing purposes this proved some income and the cows eat the grass down to help prevent wildfires fires from spreading and they add fertilizer to the soils.
