Ranch

L

Central Texas v Uvalde County

arge Hill Country ranches are becoming harder and harder to find, and large properties surrounded by other expansive properties are almost non-existent. At an imposing 5,120 acres, Lake Creek is one of those ranches.

Almost all of the neighbors are over 6,000 acres, with one stretching to almost 50,000 acres. Conveniently located in scenic northern Uvalde County, the property is a short 30-minute drive to Garner Field with its 5,200foot paved runway and full aviation services.

Lake Creek Ranch contains all of the desirable ingredients of a classic Hill Country property—expansive meadows, wide valleys, and towering mountains with breathtaking views. The property is also blessed with several strong springs and small crystal-clear creeks. To top it off, an absolutely stunning 15-acre lake is nestled completely within the ranch boundaries; break out the fishing gear, break out the kayak, or better yet, crank up the jet skis!

Due to its massive size, Lake Creek Ranch offers tremendous hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. Native species include whitetail deer, turkey, dove, duck, quail and feral hogs, as well as a variety of varmints and other small game species. Large exotic species seen on the ranch include blackbuck, axis and fallow deer, aoudad and other types of wild sheep.

Although the ranch is beckoning for a true Hill Country dream home, it already includes a nice four-bedroom, four-bath brick house with tile floors and granite countertops, a massive two-bay garage, and a large threesided pole barn for ranch equipment.

Opportunities to purchase property like the Lake Creek Ranch do not come along every day, and this one will not be available for long. Come see this extraordinary piece of Texas today.

CUTTING INPUTS TO INCREASE PROFIT Twenty-five years ago, first generation ranchers with business degrees bought 20 cows and began ranching with financial sustainability as their goal.

inancial and environmental sustainability serve as the Hunt Hill Cattle Company’s foundational value. As first generation cattle ranchers trained in business, Cooper and Katie Hurst first applied business principles to their new ranch enterprise. For financial sustainability, the cost of inputs must be lower than the generated income.

The Hursts, of Woodville, Mississippi, find that adaptive multi-paddock grazing meets their low input threshold, and it benefits cattle and pasture diversity. They no-till drill cover crops to reduce inputs for their annual forage species, and to increase soil health. To further cut inputs, 14 Volume 81 Farm&Ranch

the Hursts breed cattle genetically suited to southern Mississippi’s hot, humid climate. These practices, primarily financially motivated, also environmentally regenerate the Hunt Hill ranchlands.

Adaptive Multi-Paddock Grazing

Adaptive multi-paddock grazing management optimizes how cattle consume forage. The Hursts implement their grazing plan according to forage resources, cattle biology, and weather. “It’s called adaptive grazing because, even though we do create a grazing plan, we adapt as we go along by watching the grass and cattle,” explains Katie Hurst. “People get paralyzed by overthinking it. The hardest

part is just getting started. Ten years ago, we started by splitting a pasture in half.

Then, we split those in half again.”

They planned their grazing rotation around water and shade for the cattle, and reduced infrastructure inputs by bisecting large pastures with low-cost electric fencing. “It’s brazen to say this, but I promise you,” says Cooper Hurst, “that if you made us burn our [seed] drill and tractors we could still be in the cow business. But, we have to have electric fence.”

To graze their lactating cows on lush, nutritious grass, the Hursts delayed their calving to March to reduce costs while increasing body condition. For the same reason, the Hurst cows nurse

their calves for 10 months to lessen the stress on the calves’ health when they are weaned. Adapting to the results, the Hursts pushed calving to April to enable the calves to be weaned onto green grass and lessen backgrounding feed costs.

“We pushed our calving season back not for the cow,” Cooper explains, “because she was calving in perfect condition, but to wean her calf quicker on grass and cut our costs.”

The adaptive grazing plan lowers input costs. Rotational grazing stockpiles grass for the Hurst cattle to eat in the winter, which reduces buying and feeding hay. The intensive stocking density, with extended rest and recovery periods, help

control invasive plant species and increases the grass yield.

“We see our cows eat things people think they would abhor, like pigweed and horse nettle,” Cooper says. “Plants that people spend fortunes to kill, cows will eat. And the nutrition of those plants is similar to alfalfa. Though, you don’t want a pasture of solid pigweed.” The Hursts do continue to curb some unwanted plants through mowing. They no longer spray chemicals to remove invasive species.

The Hursts first started ranching, they were advised to spray weeds because they compete with the grass. That pastures need N[itrogen], P[hospate], K[potassium] and lime, and if that doesn’t

work, apply boron or sulfur. There was no end to these ever-increasing, costly inputs.

“You could literally spend every penny every year of your profit on some input. The cycle of high inputs haunted us, so we quit doing it all,” Cooper says. The adaptive grazing and managing soil health led the Hursts to regenerative ag—healthy soil, nutritious forage, healthy cattle, nutritious beef, healthy people.

The Adaptive Multi-Paddock Grazing Research scientific data collection station in a paddock recently grazed by Hunt Hill cattle.

The Hursts grazing plan quickly rotates cattle through paddocks. Within the short timeframe in a paddock, the cattle graze high on the grass and forb plants. Because the cattle do not contact the parasite larvae near the soil, the Hursts quit worming their mature cows to remove another unneeded annual cost. After reducing inputs to their cattle, the Hurst concentrated on how they managed their pastures’ annual and perennial grasses.

Re-thinking Forages

The Hursts financially analyzed their pastures’ forage species and management. They invested in a no-till seed drill to enable them to seed, without tillage, pastures of annual grasses. In the Gulf Coast, livestock graziers annually plow and re-plant annual grasses, such as rye grass.

By seeding with a no-till drill into standing forage, cattle can continue to graze stockpiled grass during the new seeds’ germination period. This saved the Hursts additional cash by eliminating the practice of feeding cattle hay while waiting for tilled, seeded pastures to sprout. Organic matter in the soil quadrupled without annual tillage, and the 16 Volume 81 Farm&Ranch

Hursts reduced input costs.

Cooper designed this mineral feeder on skids to move it as the cattle Now the Hunt rotate through paddocks.

Hill winter pastures “That year people blamed the co-op host a polyculture of annual grasses with and the fertilizer,” Cooper says, “but a cover crop to boost cattle nutrition and it just was the weather.

CANADIAN RIVER RANCH

11,084 ACRES

Oklahoma v McIntosh Co. v Henryetta

O

ver the years, the Land Doctors have seen a lot of land so it takes a lot to leave us awestruck. In a few special spots, nature makes us feel small, and most of those places are national parks. Another one of those locations is the Land Doctors latest listing, the Canadian River Ranch. This 11,084-acre ranch is a diverse contiguous block of land with no public roads through it. If you are seeking security, you can rest easy knowing that the entire block is surrounded with over 31 miles of high fence. There is even an FAA registered landing strip. Complete with a historic mansion overlooking a giant valley, this property has all of the natural, historic and recreational features you could want. The 2,070-acre High Point Ranch also adjoins this property and is for sale by the same owner. $23,165,560.

HIGH POINT RANCH

N

ot all ranches are created equal. While there may be some debate of which 2,070 ACRES features are the most important, there are a Oklahoma v McIntosh County v Henryetta few that are on everyone’s list. Great fences, ample water and fertile soils are the basis of a functioning ranch. Ranch houses, shops, barns and working pens are also at the top of the list.

Beyond that, there are the intangibles that really make a ranch desirable. Big views, elevation changes and glorious sunsets add something to a ranch that can’t be quantified financially even though the mental impact of these features is enormous. The awesome skyline of the ranch is due to its location at the highest elevation in McIntosh County. In addition, the horseshoe shaped high ground of the ranch wraps around the bottomland of Shell Creek allowing you to survey almost the entire property from the porch of the eastern ranch house. $5,692,500.

and Springs Ranch is a beautiful 159acre property located in Hughes County, Okla. A deceptively complex property, the 159 ACRES ranch is located about 1.45 hours from either Oklahoma v Hughes County v Calvin Oklahoma City or Tulsa, or just a shade under three hours from Dallas.

Fresh springs are truly a treasured commodity on any piece of land nowadays and with the crystal-clear water constantly flowing through this area at 50±-gallons-per-minute or as much as 25,000,000-gallons-per-year, it’s easy to see the possibilities. If the next owner wants, a dam could be built across the draw creating a lake or large river-like area on the property filled with a everlasting supply of fresh water from below. Others might decide to keep the natural beauty of this area intact and just the leave it as it’s been for hundreds of years. $360,000.

BISON RANCHING Ranching of bison is much simpler than cattle. This is the benefit of returning a native population back to its natural lands and allowing them to prosper as they had for thousands of years.

ison, otherwise known as buffalo, can be feedlotted if you place several in a small pen and feed them there daily. But this is a wild animal that always does better when allowed to graze wide, open pastures of their own design. These places should have lush, natural browse and can be complemented by hay feeding throughout the day. This is the most appropriate land for bison.

In the end, the entire range of land should be big enough to handle a large herd, typically at a ratio of one cow-calf pair

to five to 10 acres of grass. The best land in which to settle will depend on yearly rain and local grazing potential. Bison also need access to fresh, clean water on a daily basis. If there is no live water that naturally travels to the land, like a creek or a spring-fed pond, ranchers will need to drill a well, install a water pump or a windmill and supply a stock tank for watering.

Fencing will need to be installed.

For bison, the regular three- or fourstrand barbed wire is not enough.

Like both emus and ostrich, bison will need fencing installed that is at least six feet in height. This means taller posts than normal and typically six lines of fencing.

In order to make a sufficient purchase of bison, rates will adjust in value according to the economy, as well as the demand. According 62 Volume 81 Farm&Ranch

to the study in agronomics, the keeping them healthy is always investment per bison cow (one cow key. Like cattle, they require regular and approximately 10 percent of one vaccination against common bull) ranged from $1,400 to $4,200 diseases such as brucellosis—a per cow in increments of $400 per bacterial infection that spreads cow. The bull calf price was fixed at from animals to people often via $700 per head while the heifer calf unpasteurized milk, cheese and prices ranged from $900 to $2,500 per other dairy products. Animals that head in increments are most commonly of $400. In addition, infected include ...bison will need local ranchers or fencing installed that sheep, cattle, goats, well-known auction pigs, and dogs, is at least six feet in houses may have among others.

Start with a small herd herd. For bison, corrals and a chute that can be easily managed until you are needed to safely vaccinate the are more confident. bison. During the vaccinations, they Once the bison are purchased, can also be dewormed.

As a rule of thumb, one should sell your calf crop yearly and build the herd. Keep some calves back for replacement heifers; they are essential to help build the herd. The remaining calves will need to be weaned and then transported to the local auction house for sale. Bison are well known for their meat, but their thick hides can also be sold for both skins and coats.

Ranching of bison is much like cattle, but the process is often much simpler simply due to the fact that bison rarely need to be micromanaged. A healthy herd of bison that has sufficient rangeland will—for the most part—care for

themselves and do not suffer so much with the daily needs like a herd of cattle. This is the benefit of returning a native population back to its natural lands and allowing them to prosper as they had for thousands of years.

Bison meat is quite popular, but its cost and demand rise and fall like any other red meat. While it is thought to be leaner and generally healthier than regular steak or ground beef, there is no official statement that can be backed with evidence, or a statement from the USFDA that currently makes this fact. However, its demand is enough that its found in a variety of local restaurants, specialty food stores

and those who sell it online.

When looking to ranch, one does not always have to look to cattle to make a living. As a beginning rancher with a limited budget, staff and time and effort, some of the smaller and lesser-known ranching opportunities might present the opportunity to get one’s foot in the door without become instantly overwhelmed by a market that is already saturated with both sellers and buyers. It’s always interesting to note that different animals are being explored for their harvesting value and the economy has shown that it is willing to make a place for possible expansion should the need and demand arise.

At an elevation of 7,000 feet, the land produces native grasses, piñon pine, juniper and solitude—an artist’s dream. The unique turnkey adobe home, guest house and studio were built with resources from the land, and the 10,780-square-foot indoor arena with five-stall barn round out the ranch facilities. Four producing wells serve humans and animals, and original settlers’ cabins dot the landscape.
