Large Cattle Ranch with homes and outbuildings, corrals and handling facilities, irrigation with pivots, mainline and pumps, perimeter fencing and cross fencing.  Calving facilities etc.  Cattle and equipment can be negotiated in the sale.  The beauty and solitude of this ranch is incredible.  In these times of upheaval in our country it is refreshing to be able to just get away from it all.  World class fishing on the Salmon River is minutes away.  Some would say this valley is the best in the state for elk and deer hunting.  Incomes on the ranch depend on ones desires on how to run it.  We are currently running 1300 head of yearlings throughout the summer along with about 550 mother cows.  It can be used as a hay producer instead of feeding yearlings if desired.  We get two cuttings of alfalfa/grass hay each summer making about 4T per acre.  Other pivots are in grass clover mix and run about 4-4.5 T per year two cuttings.  The yearlings graze under three of the pivots at nearly 3 head per acre between May 20 and Sept 15.  Cattle leave for the govt range around the 15th of May and return about the 5th of October.  We kick them out the back gate in the Spring and open the gates to allow them to come home in the fall.  Often it takes a little pressure to get them coming but they know where home is and generally come easily.  Calves are weaning at around 550-650 lbs.  We have calved in the past starting in February.  This year we made the move to March calving.  Expect the calves to wean a little lighter.  We have learned that a small live calf is worth more than a big frozen one.  January - February are generally great months to calve however due to a nasty February in 2020 we have decided it is not worth the risk nor the work.  Disease on the ranch is very little.  We have not suffered from a scour outbreak in 7 years, other diseases are minimal.  Our latest concern for calf health has been the terrible storms of February past.  Generally in March the fields are open with plenty of area for the cows to spread out to calve.  Our bulls are a Angus cross with mostly black cows.
