Of the 6,177+/- total acres, 3,081+/- acres are deeded and 3,096+/- acres consist of State grazing leases. Ample water from shares in the Lima Dam Reservoir, Big Sheep Creek, and other tributaries that bisect the ranch allow the operator to cultivate a significant portion of the land, ideal for ensuring consistent and plentiful supply of water to the ranch's crops. The presence of 8 pivots collectively cover 852+/- acres while 45+/- acres are under wheel-line, and approximately 715+/- acres are flood irrigated. This ranch's acreage and irrigation allow for a year-round cattle operation, addition to hay base, or purebred operation. In addition, this ranch boasts cutting-edge cattle handling facilities such as a state-of-the-art feedlot and indoor working facilities. 3,200+/- feet of frontage along the trout-filled Big Sheep Creek is paradise for nature enthusiasts and anglers alike. Beyond fishing, the ranch is located in the MT General 303 Hunting District. Hundreds of elk seasonally roam throughout the ranch, providing excellent opportunity for those seeking to harvest large bull elk. The vast acres of rolling hills and lush meadows provide ample space for seasonal elk herds and cattle, making it ideal for both recreational and agricultural pursuits.
Efficiently managed to set the standard for modern livestock management, this ranch offers a seamless cattle handling experience. Beyond its cattle operation, Elk Meadows Ranch offers a wealth of recreational possibilities that cater to outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.
