Description
If you have been looking for a ranch with a little "drought insurance" look no further. This Property is located 17+/- miles east of Dumas, Tx with just under 2 miles of Hwy 152 frontage. The ranch has three mile Valley pivots currently planted in StockMaster grass with the balance of the acreage being native grass and a half section of expired CRP. The current owners have historically utilized the irrigated grasses to graze stocker cattle during the spring, summer and fall and reported good average daily gains. StockMaster grass is gaining more attention from livestock producers and earning a reputation as a viable alternative forage option that can guarantee the availability grazable acres and/or hay production year in and year out. Small livestock producers along with large scale ranching operations in the area have utilized these benefits to run more cattle on less acres while also allowing them to hedge against times of drought or limited rainfall. All three 1/4's are fenced and cross fenced with good access to livestock water making management of a rotational grazing system simple and easy. The section of expired CRP to the west of the irrigated grass has a good stand of predominantly bluestem grass with good soils and lies flat. This offers the possibility for a new owner to further develop irrigation and expand the grazing operations. The remaining acres have excellent turf and are all native grass pasture.
