The water is absolute gold and worth millions. Each pasture has loafing sheds for all year shelter for turnouts. This property also is hay producing 3000+/- bales of hay with 2-3 cuts per year. The pastures were well planned and built with solid metal pipe fencing (440) to last with over 250K spent just on the fencing alone. The ranch also features a custom pond with a beautiful waterfall feature thats deep (10 feet) for endless recreation for the family to enjoy.
