The ranch consists of 1,043 deeded acres that is comprised of productive fields and pasture for abundant hay production and about 125 cows. The C Bar B Ranch has the 3rd most senior water right on Clear Creek for irrigating 659 acres of territorial adjudicated water rights under two different appropriations. (Priority 9-15-1884 with 2.86 cfs for 200 acres and Priority 6-1-1885 with part of 8.86 cfs for 459 acres.) The ranch also owns about 312 shares of supplemental water in Healy Reservoir, so there is an abundance of water for all its irrigation needs.

Currently, the owners are irrigating about 360-acres under seven center pivots and another 40 acres are being flood irrigated. There are about 219 acres that are sub-irrigated and 300 acres are bottomland. The fertility of the land combined with early priority water rights provides excellent productivity and is easily capable of producing 1,400 tons of alfalfa hay annually.

The ranch is nicely setup for running a small herd of cattle, too. Under current operations the owners run their cows on leased pasture during the summer months and then bring them home for the rest of the year. The ranch comes with a full set of livestock feed pens, working facilities, sheds, a chute, alley and scales.

Hunting & Sporting Features
