Hat Creek Ranch

Description

Over the years, the owners have made several improvements throughout the ranch. This is a rare opportunity to own a large contiguous, fully improved, grass ranch that consists of 85% deeded acres.  Since purchasing the property over 20 years ago, the current owners have invested extensive time and resources into the water development, fencing, and cross fencing, which has greatly increased the capacity and efficiency of the ranch. Pride of ownership is evident in every aspect of this unique offering.  The Hat Creek Livestock Ranch is in the heart of cattle country with high protein, short grass. It is 4,842± contiguous acres, including State of Wyoming lease acres and BLM land. The ranch is fenced with 4 and 5 strand barbed wire with mostly steel posts. It is cross fenced into 16 pastures for rotational grazing.
The elevation of the ranch ranges from 3,650 to 4,130 ft. above sea level. The Hat Creek Livestock Ranch is an expansive grass ranch made up of diverse topography which varies from heavily-sodded grass pastures, flat meadows and rolling hills along with many draws that are covered in native grasses. The varied terrain provides a range of vegetation as well as natural draws and ravines that offer protection for livestock and wildlife.

The Hat Creek Livestock Ranch has historically grazed 200 head of cow/calf pairs year-round.

The ranch is a very low-overhead operation as the owners have historically had to feed little supplemental feed during the winter months.

The Hat Creek Livestock Ranch is located approximately 20 miles northeast of Lusk, Wyoming. To access the ranch from Lusk, travel north on US Highway 85 for fifteen miles to Hat Creek Road; turn right on to Hat Creek Road, traveling east for 5 miles, following the bend in the road to the right; continue traveling south on Hat Creek Road for approximately one-half a mile; the ranch headquarters will be located on the left. This easily-accessible property can be used as a year-round or seasonal operation, depending on the needs of the owner. Hat Creek Road is a well-maintained county road that provides yearround access to the property.
