The ranch has 290 acres of irrigated crop-land or hay-land of which 60 acres are flood type irrigation and 230 acres of pivot irrigation (two separate pivots). The irrigation water comes from reservoirs on two live creeks on the place, producing a low cost for pumping the water to the pivots. The ranch has good water rights which affords them the rights to have these reservoirs for livestock water, recreation and irrigation. Hay production on the irrigated land is between 4 1/2 - 5 tons per acre or between 1,300 and 1,450 tons annually. 1,350 tons of hay would winter approximately 950 cows for 90 days, feeding each cow some thirty pounds per day. If one feeds hay for more days in the winter, then you could graze more than 175 head during the summer months.

The carrying capacity of the ranch for grazing is approximately 175 head. This would include grazing the pastures and the aftermath of the crop-land. There are seven larger pastures in addition to seven traps. If you feed more hay in winter, you could run more than 175 cows. The property produces enough hay for 950 cows, if you only feed them for 90 days.

The ranch has two live creeks running in excess of 2 miles each. Sowbelly Creek comes into the ranch on the southwest side and leaves the ranch on the northeast side. There are two reservoirs on Sowbelly Creek. One of the reservoirs is used to run water into a livestock water pipeline. The second reservoir is used to furnish water for one of the pivot irrigation systems. Spring Creek originates on the west side of the ranch toward the middle and exits on the north central side. Spring Creek has two reservoirs on it also. These two reservoirs are also used for recreation and as a source of water for livestock pipelines.
