BAR RANCH

TROPHY BULL ELK HUNTING DEFINES THE BAR J RANCH WITH ONE OF THE MOST WILDLIFERICH AND ECOLOGICALLY DIVERSE PRIVATELY OWNED LANDSCAPES IN THE REGION.

BAR RANCH

6,234± Acres in Sevier County, Utah Property ID: 11780990

Bar J Ranch is reputed to be the best ranch in the region for its grazing, water, rich abundance of game and breathtaking beauty.

The ranch has been in the Jorgensen family for 150 years, dating back to the Homestead Act. Trophy bull elk hunting defines the Bar J Ranch, which many consider to be the single best elk hunting ranch in the state of Utah. The ranch has been shaped by three trout-rich streams: Gates Creek, Lost Creek and Gooseberry Creek, including their tributaries which flow through the property. For decades, the Bar J Ranch has been used as summer grazing for cattle.

With its lower-elevation meadows and farmland, and its continuous sweep of hills and canyons climbing gradually to over 9,200 feet, livestock thrive on the Bar J.

ar J Ranch consists of 6,234 deeded acres located 10 miles southeast of Salina, Utah, plus an inholding in the Fish Lake National Forest. The Bar J Ranch has been in the Jorgensen family for 150 years and includes an owner’s home, barn, shop and historic homestead. The ranch's access road is paved and maintained year round by the county. The front gate is six miles south of I-70, and the Richfield Municipal Airport is only 30 minutes from the ranch.

Starting at 6,680 feet in elevation, the Bar J Ranch rises and tops out at 9,200 feet in the southeast corner. The ranch includes an incredible mix of ecosystems, from cottonwood-lined river bottoms up to alpine basins of aspen and pine.

Water is abundant with over eight miles of private trout streams with live, year-round water. Three large lakes or reservoirs are nearby, and the ranch includes countless small creeks, springs, natural ponds and a small private reservoir. An excellent summer-grazing unit, the Bar J comfortably supports 300 to 400 cow-calf pairs for a sizable cattle operation. Approximately 5,776 acres of the ranch are preserved by a conservation easement.

World Class Hunting

The Bar J Ranch has one of the most wildliferich and ecologically diverse privately owned landscapes in the region with thriving populations of elk, deer and numerous other wildlife and bird species. The ranch participates in the Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) program with the state of Utah, through which it is given nine bull elk tags and over a dozen buck deer tags annually.

Many consider the Bar J Ranch to be the single best elk hunting ranch in the state of Utah based on average Boone and Crockett scores, bull elk density and overall hunting experience. Excellent mule deer hunting is also found throughout the ranch; trophy bucks are common. The ranch is also issued cow elk tags, which are a bonus to fill many freezers with healthy elk meat. The landowner bull elk and buck deer vouchers under the CWMU program can be sold for profit by the landowner and represent a significant source of income to the owner.

Turkey hunting is excellent on the ranch, and permits can be obtained through the Utah DWR. Mountain lion and bear inhabit the ranch and can be hunted with the proper permits. Small game, upland birds and waterfowl thrive across all the ecosystems of the ranch.

Water and Fishing

The Bar J Ranch has been shaped by three major streams: Gates Creek, Lost Creek, Gooseberry Creek and their tributaries. Approximately eight linear miles of perennial streams run through the ranch which are sizeable enough to hold populations of trout. The Bar J Ranch’s senior water rights are some of the oldest rights found in the area.

Lost Creek is the largest and most significant trout fishery running through the ranch, originating near Mount Terrill to the east on the Fishlake National Forest and the Lost Creek Reservoir. By the time Lost Creek flows onto the ranch, it has grown to an ideal size for trout to thrive. This cool-water stream provides exceptional habitat for the ranch’s wild endemic cutthroat trout. But, these gorgeous cutthroats are not the only denizens of Lost Creek; brown trout also reproduce wildly from historic stocking. Well-presented flies are rarely refused by these willing trout, which can easily grow to over 18 inches in the deep runs and protected bends found along this private section of Lost Creek.

Gates Creek has small but healthy Bonneville cutthroat trout, an indigenous species to the region, and provides classic high mountain “pocket water” fishing. Gooseberry Creek also flows through the north portion of the ranch, adding to the fishable waters. Nearby Reservoirs include Rex Reservoir, which is located less than a quarter mile west of the ranch and offers great fishing for large rainbows and browns. The famed Fish Lake is only twelve miles southeast and offers fishing for lake trout, splake and rainbow trout. Johnson Valley Reservoir, Gates Lake, Salina Reservoir and Farnsworth Reservoir are located near the ranch and have excellent fishing. For stream-fishing afficionados, nearby streams include Salina Creek, Seven-Mile Creek, Fremont River and U.M. Creek.

Land Use and Conservation

Wheel and handlines irrigate 168 acres and are gravity pressurized from the Gates Creek diversior pond. The Gates Creek irrigation water right is the oldest and most senior right on Gates Creek.

Fields are planted in a grass/alfalfa mix that produces high yields. The first crop is cut and bailed, and the second crop is directly grazed by livestock. These fields are also grazed by upwards of 50 elk a day. An additional 67 acres are flood irrigated through a system of ditches diverted directly off of Lost Creek. Many additional acres

LEGENDARY LIVING

of natural sub-irrigated meadows provide feed for livestock and wildlife. The Lost Creek irrigation water right is one of the most senior rights in Lost Creek, and includes a one-eighth interest in Brian Reservoir and use of one-eighth of all waters in Lost Creek after June 15th each year.

For decades, the Bar J Ranch has been used as summer grazing for cattle. With its lower elevation meadows and farmland, and its continuous sweep of hills and canyons climbing gradually to over 9,200 feet, livestock thrive on the Bar J. A full set of working corrals is located in the Lost Creek Valley, comfortably accessible by haul trucks. “Round-up” time is easy, as the cattle naturally move down to the Lost Creek or Gates Valleys in late fall.

The ranch is located in unincorporated Sevier County and is zoned GRF-20S (Grazing, Recreational and Forestry Seasonal Zone). The ranch is currently enrolled in the “Greenbelt” tax program, which lowers the annual tax burden on operating farms and ranches dramatically.

According to the Sevier County Assessor’s office, the total estimated taxes for 2021 are only $4,565 for the entire ranch.

Because of the Bar J Ranch’s unique ecosystems and extraordinarily high wildlife values, the owner has elected to preserve 5,776 acres of the ranch by placing it in a series of four conservation easements with the Nature Conservancy to ensure that this unique place will continue unspoiled for generations. Several hundred acres of the ranch located along Gooseberry Road fall outside of the easement and have no development restrictions.

History

The Jorgensen family has been ranching in South Central Utah, and particularly Sevier County, since about 1865. Johann Gustav Jorgensen and his wife Serina (Norwegian immigrants) were perhaps the first homesteaders at Fishlake. They ran a dairy at “Jorgensen Creek” near the north end of Fishlake on Pelican Bay. The Jorgensen family established good relations with the Indians and at least one of the children, Enoch, spent some summers with them and was able to communicate with the Ute and Piute Indians. Enoch’s half-brother, Sam, became a prominent livestock producer and member of the Utah legislature, and from about 1915 to 1920 Sam carved the Jorgensen Bar J Ranch out of the then Salina Grazing Association property on Lost Creek, in which he owned a very

large interest. Sam Jorgensen grazed large herds of sheep and cattle throughout what is now the Fishlake National Forest.

The first homesteaders at the ranch built a primitive homestead in the mid 1860s. The rock meat house on Lost Creek is said to be one of the original structures. The cabin burned down about the turn of the century, and the existing cabin was rebuilt on site about 1895 to 1900 using some of the materials from the original cabin. Culinary water was carried from a spring downstream on the east bank of Lost Creek. The extraordinarily beautiful valley on Lost Creek was a favorite resting place for the Indians, who hunted and fished the region during the summer. Many artifacts attest to their long presence on the ranch. It is rumored that the Butch Cassidy gang sometimes picked up fresh horses at the ranch as they headed east into the “bad lands” to elude the law.

Over the years, crops raised at Lost Creek and Gates Creek included barley, oats, wheat, corn, milo, alfalfa and a variety of pasture mixes.

Vegetable gardens were maintained at both locations, and the usual milk cow, pig and chickens were also kept for personal consumption. At various times, the ranch has supported sheep and cattle—since 1990, exclusively cattle. Elk were introduced in 1928 and some were reportedly corralled and fed hay at Gates Creek for a couple of months.

In 1986, Dan C. Jorgensen, a grandson of Enoch, purchased the Jorgensen Ranch from the various descendants of Sam Jorgensen Senior. The Jorgensen family has five generations involved with ranching in Sevier County. Dan also acquired the Freece Ranch in 1987, expanding the ranch to about 6,200 acres of deeded land. Dan rebuilt almost all the fences and modernized the Gates Creek irrigation system with a sprinkling system, also adding a small hydro-electric plant on the 10-inch pipeline. Later, Dan added a solar system.

In the early 2000s, Dan built a large shop, barn and log home at Gates Creek. The Gates Creek home was built using two pioneer cabins, one circa 1860 and the other circa 1870.

The current Bar J Ranch is said by many to be the best ranch in the region for its grazing, water, rich abundance of game and its breathtaking beauty.

If you visit the ranch, it will quickly become a part of you, and the worries of civilization will be left long behind. °

I must go....

“The mountains are calling and I must go….” —JOHN MUIR

U

nlike John Muir, I'm not a 19th Century naturalist, but I understand what he meant in his most famous quote. At the time, he penned the words, "The mountains are calling and I must go…." in a letter to his sister, Muir was at a point of change in his life.

Our granddaughters, who now reside in Tennessee with their beloved parents, are getting older every day. I want to fly there more often so I don't miss a single chapter in their growing up. I want to introduce them to the majesty of God's greatest cathedrals.

The Scotsman, who was reared in Wisconsin, was a successful inventor and efficiency expert who dabbled in botany as a hobby. In 1867, an industrial accident left him temporarily blind and changed the course of his life.

Recently, Bobby looked at me and I at him. Together, in the glow of my mid-50s and he newly 60, we concluded, "Carpe diem." It is time for us to seize the day.

Initially, he headed south with plans to explore the plant life of South America. A bout with malaria in Florida redirected him. Sometime in his past, he had become intrigued by reports of the Yosemite Valley. When South America slipped from his grasp, he hopped a steamer and went west like so many young men.

Upon arrival, he immersed himself in the grandeur and majesty of the Sierras and the giant Sequoias.

He restored his soul and body, while becoming an advocate for "one of God's most majestic cathedrals."

He found his calling and his joy in the outdoors.

While I'm fortunately not the victim of an industrial accident, today I find myself standing at the intersection of time and change. "The mountains… and deserts…and plains…and rivers…and saltwater swells…and sandy beaches…and granddaughters… are calling and I must go…."

For decades now, my husband and I have played in nature when our schedules allowed. At every available opportunity, we dirtbike, snowbike, snowski, hunt and fish in the summer and winter. In recent years, illness, accidents and COVID have proven that we have no guarantees for a tomorrow.

This is my last issue as Editor-in-Chief of LAND Magazines. I am proud of the high-quality publication that our team has built and confident that these inimitably talented people will continue to build on the foundation that we've laid. The best land magazine in America will never stop evolving, growing and bringing you, our readers, the finest rural properties in America.

In parting, I will encourage you, once again, to flip through these pages and find the place where you can seize the day. We only get one life to live to the fullest.

It's been my honor and privilege to introduce you to the land lifestyle over the last ten years. If you need me, look in the mountains. I'm heeding their call….

A S S O C I AT I O N

Buy Dirt “ B U Y L A N D, T H E Y ’ R E N OT M A K I N G I T A N Y M O R E .”

From the beginning of time, even long before America was settled, land was one of the most sought after and tightly held assets. Land, and what it provided, was a finite asset and resource which allowed economies and nations to flourish. For the family farm and ranch operation, the most valuable asset continues to be land, and the most precious return on that asset is the ability to pass it on to the next generation. In this context, perhaps the most appropriate definition of land investment and stewardship is “legacy.” The ability to start, build, and carry on a legacy is still one of the most precious aspects of land investment today, allowing buyers to be a part of something bigger than themselves.

Historically, investments in land have generated significant wealth. From any perspective, the value of land assessed over time has produced strong returns. Like all investment vehicles, some properties perform better than others. However, history clearly illustrates that buying land is a sound way to create, protect, and transfer wealth across generations.

At M4 Ranch Group, we are blessed to work with a significant amount of rare “dirt” that buyers really desire to own and spend time on. Our lifetime of outdoor and ranch experience brings unique perspectives to land, land values, stewardship, and ideas about what the future holds for being a ranch or landowner in the modern west. Every buyer has a unique combination of needs, desires, and goals for land ownership. Because land is a finite asset, it goes without saying that no two ranch properties are alike. This provides us the perfect opportunity to exploit the unique characteristics of each property to match the appropriate buyer. The biggest takeaway is your perspective on time, uses, and goals of ownership.

Over the past few decades, we have seen many of our buyers with a deepseated desire to own a piece of the West driven by a nostalgic perspective of Bonanza, John Wayne, and westerns with Clint Eastwood. These buyers searched coast-to-coast for the proverbial ranch, or the perfect stream from “A River Runs Through It.” Some came with a true desire to not only understand, but to be part of the historical cowboy life. A buyer looks for a place to build a legacy, to take kids or grandkids out of the cement world, and to have a place where they can build their own ties to land they call their own. Some long for a simple and “tangible” part of their life where they can get their hands dirty, and a day’s work produces an immediate and noticeable benefit. This could be as small as looking back at a straight fence at the end of a hard day’s work. For others,

—MARK TWAIN

maybe it is spending nights in High Camp, branding, the perfect hunting trip, picture-perfect bluebird days, or those warm and dry memories accented by the cold wet days where you really remember the feel of reaching the ranch house and unsaddling that great horse.

Many nostalgic buyers have been replaced by the next generation of “dirt” investors we sometimes refer to as the “Impact Buyer.” Times have changed and in today’s market, there is no “typical” ranch or land buyer. The diversity we see across the board is extraordinary. Buyers and sellers come to us from every location and sector across the globe. Although, they all have one true common denominator—investing in land and a legacy where they can be involved in something bigger than themselves. The next generation of land investors similarly desires a place to build a legacy with family, in business relationships, and in their personal ties to the land. Many of our buyers in the past gained success from the daily grind of hard work in energy, investments, or family opportunity. New buyers come from a much broader platform, spanning East Coast to West Coast and everywhere in between. While this new generation of buyers may have the ability to venture into ranch and land acquisitions, they still strive to own something there is never going to be more of, “Dirt.”

Today, many of our ranch and land conversations start with regional benefits; what are the recreational assets in the area, what is the historic demand for similar properties, how does the local government deal with building regulations, access, and wildlife. We now spend a great deal of time talking about endangered species, wetlands, river restoration, habitat enhancement, big game herd counts, herd migrations, herd health, and public land access. Conservation values are also almost always a topic of conversation for the new buyer to determine what value they can generate and how they can protect the lands for future generations.

The bottom line is, “Dirt” is a value buy. Land provides security almost no other investment can. Like any investment, the key is to manage risk, time, and debt. Make sure you know your goals, evaluate your carry cost, and have your priorities established for the core reasons you are investing in land. In the Mountain West, you often buy to enjoy and fulfill a lifelong dream. These things take time, and time is where gains are generated on western ranch and recreational property. Investment in a “Dirt” legacy creates opportunities few investments could dream of.

ERIC LEWIS Broker Associate

Keller Williams Black Hills | Lewis Realty Where do you live? I live in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota—one of the last great bastions of freedom!

Where do you work? I have lived, hunted and hiked all over the Black Hills, and now I mainly work in Western South Dakota and Northeast Wyoming.

What drew you to ranch and recreational real estate? I have always been an outdoorsman, and from a young age, I fell in love with everything about the beautiful public lands near my home place in the Black Hills of South Dakota and my mom and stepdad’s ranch in the foothills/badlands of Nebraska.

What makes the corner of the world where you work special? The Black Hills is a little oasis in the middle of the Great Plains—a microcosm of steep spruce and pine-covered peaks, granite outcroppings with pine and aspen in the center of the Black Hills, the southern Black Hills' wide open vistas and views with a mix of pine and cedar and juniper—the Black Hills has it all!

What are the three most important tools in a ranch broker’s kit? A love for the land, people skills and complete honesty.

If you could call anywhere on the planet home, where would it be? The Black Hills. It’s such a beautiful area with so many outdoor opportunities, and the people are all basically friendly, honest, hardworking, U.S.A.-loving conservatives—each living their lives and letting everyone else live theirs without judgement. Just a great place to be free!

What’s the most profound lesson you’ve learned from the land or its people? Being straightforward and honest, as well as truly loving what you do and where you do it, pays dividends.

Listener or talker? I could probably be a better listener, but I was born with the gift of gab. :) If you had one extra hour of time per day, how would you use it? Two more cups of coffee while I watch the world go by from the seclusion of my covered patio Would you rather be without Internet for a week or your phone? If I could, I would jettison my phone in a heartbeat.

If you could give one sentence advice about how to live life, what would that be? Live it to the fullest because you only get one shot at it!

Describe your perfect work day. Up early to have some coffee while watching the deer and turkeys. Then hopefully showing a really cool piece of land. Then some family time before hitting the hay early.

What is your most memorable deal to date? They are all special in their own way, but my first big sale was a real milestone for me.

and meandering its way across the landscape, bringing nourishment to the land and the animals; a necessity for sustaining life. Nothing beats the magnificent feeling of awe when standing on a tall peak, the sunshine on your shoulders, a light breeze of fresh, mountain air; taking in rows upon rows of peaks, and ridges stretching for miles, as far as the eye can see. . . .

The mountains are calling. . . .

There is something to be said for time spent in the mountains. The feeling of something ancient, something magical, and pure. Many books and novels revolve their landscape around the mountains or use them as a significant role for a journey, as a stronghold for the characters, or a mysterious venture into the unknown. Films bring a sense of personification to the geological features and trees, as if they hold some sort of knowledge, or secrets of the past. As they rise high above land, looking down on lower earth and its creatures, they resemble giant protectors, shielding us from the elements, protecting us from what is “beyond.”

Venture out to them and be humbled by a force of nature that no man could ever tame.

There are deep rooted symbolic beliefs, myths, and legends originating way back in time, and some still carry on today. Mt. Olympus is most famously known as the home of the Greek gods, the site of the throne of Zeus, and the place where the Titans were defeated and sent to Tartarus. To set foot upon Mt. Olympus, you must be a god, and in the time of the Ancient Greeks, no mortals dared to test their feeble human strength against it. Many cultures consider

the mountains to be sacred, the closest place one can get to the sky realm or the heavens, thus embarking upon a journey to achieve enlightenment and spiritual awakening. Many Native American tribes believe that powerful spirits lived in the mountains, most oftentimes malevolent in nature, paving the way for stories telling of forbidden lands. In the Bible, Mount Sinai is most famous as the place that God called Moses to receive the Ten Commandments.

Mountains represent hundreds of places, events, and phases in our lives, physically and metaphorically. For many, mountains symbolize a journey, physical, mental, and spiritual. They also represent strength, growth, and the overcoming of obstacles. They are a source of majestic beauty, wonder, and inspiration. The mountains, they are calling. . . .

Mountains cover twenty-five percent of Earth’s land mass. From the Cascades on the West Coast, over the Rockies and on to the Smoky Mountains in the east, these geological features are found in almost every state across the country. Every mountain range creates its own diverse set of climates, provides shelter to different species of plant and animal life, and holds its own hidden treasures. Being in the rural real estate industry as a part of LandLeader.com, our brokers have the honor of being able to frequent this type of terrain. We pride ourselves in being stewards of the land, and with that comes the responsibility to have the knowledge, to educate others, and to demonstrate respect when partaking in recreation, hunting, or farming across such beautiful terra firma.

No matter where my travels take me, I always feel a sense of yearning, a need to be in, or in sight of, the mountains. A feeling of wonder always settles itself into my brain, with questions formed from curiosity: What is beyond that ridge? What is in the bottom of that ravine?

How was this rock formed? The amount of exploration and mental stimulation that can be found is enigmatic. Hours can be spent exploring, hiking, driving, or just sitting, without the need for words. A feeling of peace envelops; time slows to a crawl. Phillip Connors sums it up with his quote “The greatest gift of life on the mountain is time. Time to think or not think, read or not read, scribble or not scribble—to sleep and cook and walk in the woods, to sit and stare at the shapes of the hills.”

Whatever your beliefs, upbringing, or experiences may be, spending a day amongst these wonders of nature leaves an imprint on your soul. Photographers capture the essence in their creative compositions. Hikers breathe in the smell of oxygen-rich air, cleansed by the trees that cover the hills before them.

Adventurers revel in the discoveries and explorations of the unknown, pushing the limits and boundaries set by those before them.

Mountains have a deep connection in the earth, and perhaps an even deeper one into our souls.

As John Muir said, “The mountains are calling, and I must go.”

To the mountains I go. °

y partnering with ranch brokers and their clients during every phase of ranch real estate transactions, Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering can ensure the journey to ranch ownership is a dream instead of a nightmare.

“From due diligence and engineering to construction, we’ve got the expertise to identify and deliver what the new owners want—and help them avoid any pitfalls along the way,” said Rikki Altenburg, who, along with her husband Ryan, owns and operates Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering. “We’re a clientoriented firm that brings a common sense approach to solving problems.”

While the firm is relatively small in number, it’s big on results.

“Unlike larger firms that can be unwieldy, we pride ourselves on responsiveness and adaptability,” Rikki said. “Land is different. Clients are different. Dreams are different. Cookie cutter approaches have no place in an industry where no project is the same.“ With a call to a single point of contact at Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering, brokers can access the expertise of a real estate division as well as civil and agricultural engineers and construction professionals who can make all of those detailed plans physical realities.

“We understand the formalities and technicalities of property transactions and are equipped to handle all of the research necessary during due diligence in areas like water rights and permitting and address the issues we find,” Rikki said. “With our in-house surveyors, engineers and construction crews, WH Companies is a one-stop shop for farm, ranch and recreational property development.”

Each division of the company works in synergy with the others. The civil engineering group creates the ranch’s infrastructure foundation. Within its wheel house, the team improves access roads, enhances drainage and designs and installs the systems that will deliver water, power and other utilities to houses and other improvements.

The agricultural engineering division tackles land-based issues such as siting and designing fields, irrigation systems, impoundments ranging from small ponds to expansive lakes, and reclaiming streams for wildlife habitat. The construction division provides turnkey design and professionals with skills necessary to build homes, barns, shops, covered arenas, airplane hangars and anything else that will make a ranch a one-of-a-kind destination for the buyer.

As an added bonus, all of the firm’s team members live the western lifestyle. The company’s ranks are filled with people whose roots are deep in farming, ranching, hunting, fishing and the outdoors.

In addition to its in-house professionals, Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering, which is based in Casper, Wyoming, has a network of affiliated talent, such as water rights attorneys and technical professionals, who are vetted and held to the same exacting standards.

“Brokers don’t have to struggle to find a complete team of technical experts, we’ve amassed it—and the expertise is never more than one phone call away,” Rikki said. “Once they make that first phone call, clients discover our biggest strength: we deliver what we say we will, when we say we will.”

And the team delivers on its promises, the western way, through sheer determination and grit.

“We not only adapt and overcome, but we just get the task done,” said Rikki, noting their survey team often works when temperatures plummet to 40 degrees below zero or when the mercury pushes past 126° F as it did on a recent job in Arizona. “Our people are bad asses who get the work done for our clients with enthusiasm, attention to detail and pride.”

The Process As is the case with people of the land, the team at WH likes to keep things simple, direct and as efficient as possible.

The process all starts with a phone call from a broker or a potential ranch buyer.

“The first phone call is very general,” Rikki said. “Sometimes it’s nothing more than: ‘We’re looking at 10,000 acres near X-town, Montana, the money is starting to firm up and looks like it could be a good fit.’”

The introductory phone call prompts a conference call to discuss the property and the project in more detail. If, after the call, the broker, client and the WH team are all in accord, the vision planning begins, and more often than not, a site visit to the property is the next step.

“We spend a day or two with the broker and client riding over the ranch to get a real feel for the property and the client’s goals and visions,” Ryan said.

During this ranch visit, the team begins to understand the client’s motivations. Is he or she an avid angler who wants to restore streams so they and their family can fly fish? Or is the project an investment in agricultural productivity, so it will require irrigation systems and other infrastructure? Or does the vision include big game hunting and outfitting hunters?

32

While one part of the Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering team focuses on the “what can be,” another part tackles the “what is” as the transaction moves into due diligence.

“When it comes to research we know where to look and what to look for,” Rikki said.

Thoroughness on the front end prevents ugly surprises on the back end. In the West, water rights are tantamount considerations. In early August, for the first time in history, there was a call on the Colorado River and its rights.

“Now more than ever, senior and junior water rights and their rank are important,” Ryan said. “Water availability can raise or lower the value of a ranch by millions of dollars as well as dictating plans for the land’s use. People can’t afford to just guess what they have.”

Rikki continued, “Our goal is to head off problems by finding the facts and addressing any issues on the front end of the transaction. When we work on the front end, our clients have options. When we’re not brought in until the back end, our clients may be coping with surprises and having to settle for Plan B.” While no one likes to deliver bad news, the professionals at Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering believe honesty is the best policy. They deal in facts and workable solutions, not hopes and sugar-coated maybes.

“If it’s bad news, we deliver it. If it’s good news, we deliver it,” Rikki said.

“Regardless, our clients can count on an honest, fact-based response.”

Recently, they had to tell a client, who hired them on the front end, that the gravel mining he was counting on as an income stream for the newly acquired ranch wasn’t a viable option. Instead of leaving him high-and-dry, the team identified wind energy as a workable solution for the property.

“We adapt to many different scenarios and challenges, both the foreseen and the unforeseen,” Rikki said. “The bottom line is that we take a common sense approach, backed by calculations, to deliver custom-made solutions.”

While the team has worked most extensively in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Arizona, Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering has left its distinguished mark throughout the nation and the world.

“If a car, plane, train or boat can get there, we’ll come,” Rikki said.

And the team begins to get a literal lay of the land, its potential and the inherent challenges. First-hand knowledge of the property fuels the brainstorming that is part and parcel of Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering’s work process.

Once the due diligence is done, the deal is negotiated and inked, the final transition occurs. The broker’s client becomes Western Heritage & Engineering’s client. All of the plans that have been developed as the transaction has played out come out of their folders and get put to work immediately.

“We go and come up with initial ideas and then let them ‘simmer,’” Ryan said. “Often, after carefully considering the options, someone on the team will have an epiphany and say, ‘We need to scrap the first idea and pivot because this is actually the best approach.’”

“On sale day, our team puts its boots on the ground and begins to make that collectively developed dream a reality,” Rikki said. “From beginning to end, we strive to make the journey to ranch ownership a dream come true.” °

T

he fabric of California is a diverse blend of cultures, ethnicities, upbringings, lifestyles and living areas. From bustling metropolitan cities to rural towns, the Golden State has something for everyone.

While the glitz and glitter of L.A. tends to attract the spotlight, the most satisfying—and sought after—lifestyle is one that’s lived out in the sprawling, spacious countryside. In fact, according to the Los Angeles Times, most Californians who moved in 2020 stayed in-state, with many trading city-life in for a more pastoral existence in a rural community.

In California’s varied countryside, the pastures are greener—or at least it seems that way. From waking up to the rooster’s morning tune as the glowing shades of sunrise color the eastern horizon, to feeding the animals and tending to the land, benefits of California’s western lifestyle are worth reaping.

While western living often includes a ranch and a variety of animals, it is so much more—it is a way of life that intermingles gratitude for nature’s bounty, respect for its hardships and vagaries, strength to overcome challenges and peace of mind from working to leave the world better than you found it.

Read on for our top tips for achieving the western lifestyle—authentic, rewarding and unmatched—in beautiful California.

Sustain a Balanced Ranch Being a sustainable rancher can provide a variety of benefits: nutrient-dense food, higher quality of life and improved environmental management. Be aware though, maintaining a sustainable ranch is not as simple as it may appear.

Caring for livestock, improving the soil, managing grazing, harvesting crops, protecting waterways and optimizing energy efficiency requires a driven, dedicated visionary; a focused rancher who is able to balance these operations on a day-to-day basis and move the land toward long-term sustainability. Developing specific plans to achieve these goals is the best way to reap the benefits.

Planning should include a conservation plan, sustainability plan, habitat conservation plan and a strategy that outlines short- and long-term sustainability goals.

Committed private land stewardship can improve the land’s productivity and sustainability while providing immeasurable environmental benefits such as clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat and carbon sequestration. At the day’s end, a healthy ranch is an efficient ranch.

Find Your Escape in Ranch Recreations California provides plentiful rural, recreational escapes. Those who embrace the western way play just as hard as they work and enjoy the rewards and happiness that the land has to offer. Between hunting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, camping, kayaking, exploring by ATVs and so much more, it’s easy—and enjoyable—to immerse yourself in California’s legendary ranch lifestyle.

While living the western way is not always easy, overcoming the challenges and adversity make the rewards that much sweeter.

Finding peace and solitude in the ripples of a river or trekking through the hills and trees on horseback are just two of many ways to find your escape.

Adopt the Cowboy State-of-Mind Californians (and those who want to be) cherish the intrigue of the western way. Adopting this lifestyle is a decision that extends beyond today and creates a legacy to be passed from generation to generation.

Little cowboys and cowgirls who, alongside their parents and grandparents, learn the ropes of ranch life as they help a heifer birth her first calf and nurture it through its life by the family’s collective sweat are changed forever—in the best ways imaginable.

The western way is a lifelong journey shared between the land and its caretakers.

Final Thoughts “I follow in the footsteps of my ancestors when it comes to sharing the love for the land, working with cattle and horses, and honoring a call to public service,” said Pete Clark, Corporate President and Real Estate Broker of Clark Company. “Sharing the benefits with my community is just one of many ways I enjoy the western lifestyle.”

While living in California and embracing the idyllic western lifestyle isn’t for everyone, it IS for those rare trailblazers who seek the priceless rewards of stewarding the land. °

omprised of nearly 80,000± acres, Turkey Track Ranch, the historic “Prize of the Panhandle,” is a legacy of the Coble/ Whittenburg empire. The ranch is known for its natural resources and as the site of the battles of the Adobe Walls of 1864 and 1874. The decision to sell comes after twelve decades of stewardship. For the first time in over a century, this rare combination of history, heritage and natural resources will change hands.

The Turkey Track Ranch was pioneered in the era of legendary WT Waggoner, 6666 and Goodnight Ranches. Boasting almost 80,000± acres under one fence and some 26 miles of Canadian River frontage, the ranch is a rare confluence of natural resources; containing an abundance of water, productive fertile grasslands and diverse wildlife—set within rolling and rugged topography of mesas, draws, valleys and vistas interposed with open rangeland—it epitomizes the western ranch lifestyle and famed fertile buffalo plains of yesteryear.

About Turkey Track Ranch WT (Tom) Coble and later James (Jimmie) A. Whittenburg III, were two of the stewards. Each was a past president of The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, and each was considered a visionary as well as a community and business leader.

A winner of the Cattlemen’s Beef Association Environmental Stewardship award in 2016, the Turkey Track is also held in high esteem by the industry.

Pete Bonds, then president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said, “Turkey Track has an outstanding record for their

environmental stewardship practices, water management programs and excellent grass diversity.”

Jay O’Brien and Dale Smith are the well-recognized and respected cattlemen who own and operate the Adobe Walls Cattle Co. They have run their cattle on the Turkey Track for several years, managing and caring for the ranch, its fences, pasture viability and overall stewarding of this side of the operation.

The property is also the site of the two famed battles of the Adobe Walls of 1864 and 1874, and this hallowed ground—just north of the Canadian River— is revered by descendants of all combatants. In June of 1924, a six-acre site was given to the Panhandle Plains Historical Society commemorating that month the 50th anniversary of the second battle of the Adobe Walls. In 1941, a monument dedicated to the Native Americans who fought and died in the Battle of 1874 was also erected. Both monuments stand within the ranch today.

“I have had the privilege of marketing many great ranches, and this is one of the greatest,” says Icon Global’s Bernard Uechtritz. “It sets a high bar in terms of value and is incomparable among its peers. This ranch is not famous for being famous, but for being private. It has never been marketed or commercialized as a brand, nor has it been controversial. It is simply revered and respected for being good, diverse, stout and solid. It is both beautiful and productive and has been well managed at every level, evidenced by its cattle carrying capacity and abundance of wildlife. Its natural resources and position in history are unparalleled by anything recently sold or on the market, and it’s truly a One of One. It is without question not only the ‘Prize of the Panhandle,’ but one of the last and great dynastic legacy ranches of its kind.” °

West of La Veta, Colorado, lies the 2,680-acre Saddle Horn Ranch. The property begins at 7,500 feet elevation under gamble oak cover and extends through several drainages up to heavy timber stands near 9,400 feet. Interspersed between stands of oak and timber are beautiful grass parks and meadows. Oak Creek flows for approximately 1.7 miles through the central drainage while Indian Creek runs for 1,500 feet through the property's southeast corner. With minimal improvements, a manager's home, a barn and corrals, exclusive home building sites and imposing views, the ranch breathes potential. This potential is exemplified in the dense and vigorous regrowth that followed the 2018 Spring Creek Fire. With the mitigation complete, all that remains is to watch potential appreciate into reality. The ranch also holds significant hunting potential with elk ranging in the 360-inch class and mule deer at over 180 inches. Located in GMU 85, which is an OTC unit, there are abundant animals and hunting opportunities. Bears, turkey, mountain lion and a variety of small game call the ranch home. The terrain is rough yet accessible with roads throughout the ranch allowing access to all portions of the property. Along with Oak and Indian creeks, there are multiple wells, adjudicated springs and ponds providing water for the wildlife and/or cattle. The owner invested over $600,000 in reseeding, timber mitigation, mulching and road construction. Property ID: 11885696

ALTA LUNA R ANCH 6 , 4 0 0 ± A C R E S I N M O R A C O U N T Y, N E W M E X I C O If you’re looking for a great corporate retreat, awesome recreational, great hunting or endof-the-road getaway place (prepper’s paradise), then the Alta Luna Ranch fits the bill. The Alta Luna Ranch is located in the North Central New Mexico range of the Rocky Mountains known as the Sangre de Cristos, within just a few hours of Taos, Santa Fe and Angel Fire.

The ranch consists of approximately 6,400 alpine deeded acres and includes a large twostory, southwest-style main house, two similar architectural guest houses and a large five-stall, quality, drive-through barn. The headquarters sits in a beautiful open valley with 360-degree views of adjacent mountains, most all of which belong to the ranch.

There are numerous springs and stock ponds, and the Lujan Creek runs through the property providing a year-round water source for game and livestock. Game that frequent the ranch include elk, deer, bear and other native species. The New Mexico Game Department has issued up to 50 ranch elk permits in the past; however, the current owner has limited the hunting in the interest of game management. The listing broker has personally seen herds of approximately 200 at one time on the ranch.

The ranch has two code-operated control gates. All showings must include listing broker.

68.97± Acres in Polk County, Arkansas | $285,000

46.56± Acres in Adair County, Oklahoma $875,000

Beautiful wooded acreage with ponds, surprising rock formations, perpetual wildlife sightings, live water, well water and genuine seclusion. There is a homesite in the east (highest elevation) of the property. The old home isn’t livable. The well was a more than adequate source of good water in the past. Some rock mining could be done, and if technology makes it available, there is oil underneath the surface according to a geologic study.

Until then, enjoy the views and the seclusion of the mountains and timber. Property ID: 11294158
