The 51 Ranch has been utilized in past years for summer haying and winter grazing. The improved pastures mainly consist of Crested Wheat and Russian Wildrye. Present owners have been leasing out the winter grazing to a horse operation. This property has ideal winter grazing opportunities because of the good feed, moderate climate and Warm Spring Creek.
Water Resources:
Warm Spring Creek is a year-round creek that originates just off the border of the 51 Ranch and meanders throughout the property. This beautiful warm-water creek comes out of the ground at 74 degrees and stays open all winter. It is the irrigation source for this property and excellent water rights would allow a future buyer to irrigate additional acres. Presently, the 51 Ranch uses a 50 hp electric pump for irrigation purposes.
