With established perimeter fencing, cattle or horses can mosey along the gently rolling terrain while the occasional coulee protects white-tailed and mule deer or game birds. Mineral rights will be transferred. The ranch comprises two distinct parcels—the north and the south—each offering unique advantages for prospective buyers.
