SIZE & DESCRIPTION

569.36± Deeded Acres

The Clear Creek Valley Ranch offers an exceptional combination of productive agricultural resources, diverse wildlife habitat, and scenic Wyoming landscapes. Stretching along approximately 5,800 feet of Clear Creek frontage, the ranch features productive irrigated meadows, mature cottonwood-lined creek banks, rolling sagebrush-covered slopes, and elevated ridges that provide both outstanding livestock grazing and excellent habitat for wildlife.

The property's varied topography creates a beautiful and highly functional ranching environment. Elevations range from approximately 3,934 to 4,100 feet above sea level, providing sweeping views of the surrounding countryside while offering natural shelter and protection for livestock throughout the year. The combination of live water, irrigated hay meadows, native rangeland, and diverse terrain supports a healthy balance of agricultural productivity and recreational opportunity.

Under the current management program, approximately 165± acres are dedicated to hay production, with an average annual yield of 1.5 tons per acre. Following harvest, the irrigated meadows typically produce substantial regrowth that provides valuable fall and winter grazing while enhancing habitat for wildlife. The lush creek bottoms and irrigated fields attract a variety of game species and contribute significantly to the ranch's year-round carrying capacity.

Designed for efficient livestock management, the ranch features improved perimeter and interior fencing and is cross fenced into six separate pastures to facilitate rotational grazing. This infrastructure allows for effective forage utilization, promotes pasture health, and supports sustainable ranch operations.

The Clear Creek Valley Ranch is located within highly regarded Wyoming hunting units, including Deer Areas 23 and 26, Antelope Areas 15 and 16, Elk Area 129, and Turkey Area 1. The combination of Clear Creek, irrigated meadows, cottonwood bottoms, sagebrush hillsides, and protected draws create exceptional habitat for mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, wild turkey, and numerous upland bird species, offering outstanding hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.

Whether operated as a productive livestock ranch, a recreational retreat, or a legacy family holding, The Clear Creek Valley Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a well-improved property featuring live water, productive forage resources, quality wildlife habitat, and the enduring beauty of Wyoming's ranch country.

CARRYING CAPACITY / RANCH OPERATIONS

Used in conjunction with a mountain grazing permit and private leases the Clear Creek Valley Ranch has historically supported approximately 350 head of ewes from October 1 to January 1 grazing the meadows with no supplement feed. From Jan 1 to May 1, they stay on the ranch and are supplemented through lambing. From May 1 to October 1 the sheep are on lease ground. In addition, the ranch sustains 85-100 head of mother cows from March 1 to July 1 grazing the hard grass pasture on the north end of the ranch. It is estimated that the ranch would sustain approximately 75 head of mother cows year-round with the hay produced on the ranch and some supplemental protein through the winter months and calving. The ranch is cross fenced to allow for flexible livestock management and efficient grazing rotation. Most fences consist of woven wire and are in good condition.

The irrigated hay meadows and winter pasture have historically produced approximately 1.5 tons of high-quality grass hay per acre annually, with a single cutting followed by regrowth for fall grazing. If managed exclusively for hay production, yields of 3.0 to 3.5 tons per acre can be expected.
