CUMMINGS RANCH - Lusk, Niobrara County, Wyoming: The Cummings Ranch is an exceptionally beautiful property located in the "Heart of Cattle Country" with lush pastures and pine and cedar tree-covered canyons and ridges. Consisting of 13,728+/- deeded acres, 640+/- State of Wyoming lease acres, and 2,318+/- acres of BLM lease for a total of approximately 16,686 acres, the ranch is located 35 miles northeast of Lusk in the east central portion of Niobrara County. Approximately 38 miles of underground pipeline (2-inch PVC pipe buried below the frost line at five feet underground) provides water to 40 tanks located throughout the ranch. The majority of tanks are tire tanks with float systems. The livestock water is strategically located throughout the ranch so cattle do not have to trail far to reach water. There is some seasonal water on the ranch from Black Tail Creek, located on the southwest part of the ranch that runs in the spring, and from Antelope Creek. Several dams are also located throughout the ranch. The Cummings Ranch is owner-rated at 600 to 650 cow/calf pair year-round. Historically, this equates to 25 acres per pair which would also equate to 8 to 10 acres per yearling for a 5-month grazing period with cattle showing excellent gains (2 to 2.5 pounds per day) on the hardy, hi-protein native grass found on the ranch. The improvements on the ranch are well-maintained and feature a 2,500 sq. ft., two-story home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms and a 4,000 sq. ft. barn with stalls, hay loft, tack room, and a 714 sq. ft. utility building that is an addition to the barn. The working corrals are constructed of pipe with alley and chutes, a 12'x24' lean-to which has panels set up to assist during calving season and protection for livestock, and livestock scales with a 8'x8' attached shed. Other improvements include a 36'x72' shop/equipment storage building that is insulated and heated with radiant heat, and a 44'x56' Western Star metal building that is used as an airplane hangar. Wildlife found on the ranch include whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, and upland game birds. Price: $5,494,000Contact Cory Clark at (307) 334-2025 for more details
