Property Description
The Greybull River Ranch is a well maintained ag operation along the fertile alluvial plain of one of Wyoming’s largest rivers in the heart of the Big Horn Basin. A contiguous 2,795 +/- deeded acres of productive soils and lush creek bottom ties into vast tracts of public land leased for livestock grazing. Water is a Huge Value Abundant water rights that date back to Wyoming’s territorial days, the ranch boasts approximately 1,370 irrigated acres that grow a rich diversity of crops including alfalfa, seed hay, timothy, orchard grass hay, barley, oats, sunflower seeds, beans, and corn. Crop rotation, and six irrigation pivots ensures continued productivity and a steady source of income. The centerpiece to the ranch is over two miles of braided Greybull River banks supplying volumes of water to the numerous ditches and wetlands. These riparian bottomlands of cottonwoods and grasses are home to an amazing variety of wildlife. The diversity of wildlife on the Greybull River Ranch is simply incredible. Crops and Cattle Complementing its abundance of crops is a solid cattle operation, which includes 13,222 acres of State and BLM grazing leases that are permitted for 1,522 AUMs. The Greybull River Ranch is estimated to run up to 400 head of cattle year-round and includes a 1,000-head feedlot with six corrals, each with its own heated self-watering system and lighting. The Greybull River Ranch is well balanced with irrigated cropland and open and rolling summer pasture that transitions into lush river bottom pasture. Livestock water is provided by springs, wells, irrigation water, and the Greybull River. The Greybull River is a reliable source of water. Irrigation water is provided by the Greybull Valley Irrigation District with the canal traveling through the property providing easy access to water. There are multiple locations along the canal to pull water for irrigation. The water goes into an underground pipeline system for the pivots. Also, there are additional water rights providing water from Upper Sunshine, Lower Sunshine, and Roach Gulch reservoirs. Wildlife and Recreation Home to elk, whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, turkeys, pheasants, quail, chukars, and diverse waterfowl. Only lightly hunted in recent years, the ranch has not come close to achieving its hunting potential. However, a licensed bird farm has been in operation here, permitting outstanding upland bird hunting for quail, pheasant, chukar and partridge in the fall and winter months. The coveted Yellowstone cutthroat trout inhabit the two miles of the Greybull River on the property, and provide sport for both fly and lure fishermen. Several ponds already exist on the ranch, and could be developed into trophy fisheries as well. Recreational opportunities are rich and varied in northwest Wyoming. Wilderness hunting and fishing can be found in abundance in the Absaroka Mountains to the west, along with backpacking in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. Yellowstone National Park is under two hours away as well, where a lifetime of enjoying geysers, wildlife, and scenic grandeur awaits. Less than an hours drive is the famous western town…
