ACREAGE AND DESCRIPTION
The Z3 Ranch offers 122+/- acres, with 70 acres under pivot, with the balance of 50 acres of ground irrigated by gated pipe and irrigation tubes. Each irrigated field is also fenced for cattle operations and watering systems are in place for year round water for grazing livestock.
OPERATIONS
The current owner has run this operation as a combination hay farm/cattle ranch. During the summer months, the irrigated ground is utilized for hay production and from October through April, cattle are brought in to graze residue. New fencing completes the three-pasture/field rotation for a very diversified farm/ranch. The operation could easily be converted to a year round operation with grazing one or two of the pastures and producing hay on the remaining field.
