Description: |
The Cochise
Ranch is a contiguous tract
of native grass rangeland
that is partitioned into
five larger pastures and
three smaller holding traps.
Each pasture and trap has at
lease one source of
permanent water. The
livestock water is provided
by three wells, all equipped
with solar powered
submersible pumps and large
water steel rim storage
tanks. The wells are
approximately 600 feet to
650 feet deep with a pumping
capacity of 3 to 5 five
gallons per minute. Two of
the wells provide water to a
buried water pipeline system
that distributes water to
areas of the ranch that
would otherwise not have a
permanent source of water.
Livestock drinkers have been
installed at various
locations along the pipeline
system. The headquarters of
the operation is located in
the north central area of
the ranch with improvements
consisting of a metal
storage barn and maintenance
shop, working pens and
overhead feed bins. All
maintained in good
serviceable condition. |

Broker Comments: |
This type
ranch property is scarce in
today’s market with
excellent access and deeded
control. Very few are
currently being offered with
the potential of the Cochise
Ranch. The pasture design is
ideal for a commercial or
registered cattle operation.
The improvements are suited
for the operation and are
not excessive requiring
significant repairs and
maintenance. The water
system has been developed to
distribute livestock water
throughout the ranch.
