County Road C118 Clayton, NM 88415

This ranch is located in some of the most highly sought-after grazing land in the Nation for a summer yearling grazing program or a year-round cow/calf operation.

Antelope Springs is a living, year round spring which provided water for homesteaders across a large area around the spring during many years past and is a highlight of the ranch providing water for livestock and wildlife.

Also, water for the ranch is provided by two domestic wells equipped with submersible electric motors and pumps. One well is located at the main cattle working pens and the other well is at the house which is on the west end of the ranch. There are also 11 addition domestic wells equipped with windmills which are located strategically throughout the property. The depths to water in most of the wells is in a range between 80’ & 100’ deep.

It is our understanding that the owner of the ranch is in the process of drilling a new well on the ranch which when completed and a considerable amount of pipeline will replace certain wells which are not currently in working condition.

Main working facilities are located in the middle of the ranch. They consist of a very good set of pipe pens with a working tub, permanent loading/unloading chute, an open-front sheet iron barn and a new 8X25 electronic scale (the squeeze/working chute belongs to a prior owner and is not part of the improvements). A second set of working pens that are located on the south end of the ranch consist of heavy metal panels attached to railroad ties. There is an overhead cake bin that hold 36 tons of feed located at the main pen. There is an older ranch home with a good set of pipe pens that also go with the property located on the west end of the ranch.

Most of the fences on the ranch consist of 5 strands of barbed wire on steel and cedar post which have mostly been built within the last 10 years.

There is an overhead, high-capacity electric transmission line which runs through the east side of the property which may or may not facilitate a wind energy or solar power farm.

A significate portion of Union County, New Mexico has been leased for Wind Energy.

For those readers interested in the wind energy income this may be the beginning of a wind energy farm to be built in Union County, NM even though no firm commitment has been made at this time for a wind energy farm or a solar power farm on or near this property.

This property is a very productive cattle ranch being used for a yearling and cow/calf operation. The grass turf on the ranch consists of predominately Grama and Buffalo grasses. The wildlife consists of antelope, quail and a few deer.
