SPRINGS:
There are multiple springs on the ranch, both year-round and seasonal. 2 year-round spring fed ponds. Two springs are being used in the irrigation system. Seasonal creek creates a spectacular water fall in winter and spring months.
HAY FIELDS:
524 +/- acres are planted in grass hay mix and some alfalfa. The owner cuts the fields on different schedules, depending on cattle grazing. Some fields are cut 4 times, some 3, and 2. A few fields are cut 1 time. The fields that are used mostly for hay production produce between 6 - 5.5 ton per acre. On an average year, the ranch produces well over 2000 ton. Putting up enough hay to feed the cows through the winter and spring months, selling the remaining hay. All fields are fenced.
RICE FIELDS:
Approximately 220 acres are in wild rice. The seasonal creek is a great tool for filling the checks with water in the spring. The owner is currently leasing the rice ground.

193 acres are in a conservation easement for enhanced habitat. Used for cattle grazing and hunting.
CATTLE:
The ranch has a year-round cattle operation, now running 200 spring calving pairs, 20 replacement heifers and 5 bulls. This number varies from year to year. The owner has had up to 500 cows. Increasing the number of cows will reduce the hay production because of grazing.
