We are privileged to collaborate with Cal Farley's Boys Ranch in presenting the Howard Melvin Ranch for sale. Mr. Melvin demonstrated great care in the acquisition and enhancement of the ranch. The ranch's management has implemented prudent grazing practices to preserve the fertile soil. Its convenient access to the interstate highway is a significant advantage for ranch operations and the transportation of livestock to market. With its excellent location situated next to the rocky mountain foothills, and I-25, this Ranch has excellent possibilities limited only by one's imagination and ingenuity. The Ranch features an impressive sod cover, creating good grazing for livestock. The predominant grass species on the ranch is blue grama, with Western wheat and Alkali sacaton also being significant varieties. Additionally, there are minor grasses like Sideoats grama, Indian saltgrass, Winterfat, Little blue stem, Prairie sandreed, and Purple prairie clover. As for forbs, the major species is Four-wing salt brush. The Ranch is dotted with scattered water sources carved in the landscape to retain runoff water for livestock and wildlife. There are four wells that are presently inactive. A water finder has identified five potential well sites that hold promise. Additionally, there are three underground pipeline systems connected to 12 metal livestock tanks. In addition, the Ranch terrain has created a natural intermittent creek that drains the property.
