This tremendous ranch is located in Game Unit 26 which is an over the counter bull-rifle unit. The property is a great working cattle ranch and consists of tremendous water rights. The Yampa Valley is known for its beautiful peaks and panoramic views. The property benefits from the White River Elk herd which is 40,000 strong, and is the largest herd of elk in North America. The White River National Forest is two million acres in central Colorado west of the Continental Divide. The Flat Tops Wilderness located behind the property lies within the White River National Forest and is one of the largest primitive areas in the Rocky Mountains. It is well known as some of the very best elk and deer country anywhere. Wildlife in the area include elk, mule deer, black bear, big horn sheep, mountain lion, and an occasional moose. And while its best known for elk, it produces quality mule deer bucks as well. Eagle County, just to the south, is well represented in the Mule Deer record books. The White River area has a resident deer herd of approx. 67,000 animals. Additionally Unit 26 offers some outstanding upland and waterfowl hunting. Blue Grouse and Sharp-tailed Grouse abound in the area, as do ducks and geese along the waterways. A ranchers dream, the property has a reputation for great cattle that can graze on the property and in the endless permit acreage maintained by the ranch. The ranch has traditionally carried 2,200 pairs in the summer between the deeded acreage and the forest lease. In addition, typical production for hay of mountain grass has been 900 - 1,500 tons. Also includes summer grazing permits on more than 100,000 acres. The ranch has a complete set of working facilities to handle livestock, stack yards and is fenced and crossed fenced. The property also consists of tremendous water rights. In addition, the property has a 3,500 foot runway that could easily be expanded. |
