Wildlife & Hunting: there is an abundance of
white-tail deer and turkey on the ranch most likely due to the ranch's close
proximity to state wildlife areas on two sides of the ranch; the quail and
prairie chicken populations have declined over the years but have been
spotted regularly on the ranch.
Comments: This ranch is an excellent beef
cattle complex--ready to go the day you move in. The original homestead on
this property goes back to 1867--a heritage of long-term sustainability
based on the ranch's beautiful Kansas tallgrass pastures. This combination
of working ranch and natural prairie habitat is a special place for both the
cattleman and the lover of nature.
