The federal lease lands are administered by the Department of InteriorⳠBureau of Land Management. The grazing capacity of the ranch is established at 175 Animal Units on a yearlong basis under a Section 3 B.L.M. grazing permit. The grazing allotment as referred to as the Crockett Allotment.

The ranch is partitioned into three larger pastures and three smaller pastures and traps. Livestock and domestic water is provided by three wells that range in depth from 220 feet to 440 feet deep. One of the wells is equipped with a windmill, the other two with solar pumps. In addition to a solar pump, the Headquarters Well is equipped with an electric submersible pump powered by an electric generator.

An extensive buried water pipeline system extends throughout the ranch. The water for the pipeline system is provided by two of the wells with plans to interconnect the third well so that each of the wells has the capability to service the pipeline. The water system provides water to all pastures with at least three permanent water sources in each of the larger pastures. Additionally there are numerous earthen tanks constructed throughout the ranch that catch and store rainfall runoff water for use by livestock and wildlife.

The ranch is operated from a headquarters located in the southeast quadrant of the ranch accessed by a privately maintained roadway. The headquarters improvements include one residence that has recently been renovated, storage sheds, hay barn and corrals. The corrals at the headquarters are the primary livestock facilities on the ranch. The improvements are in serviceable condition. No electric service is available to the ranch, but the residence is equipped with solar power with generator backup.

The terrain of the ranch is described as diversified range sites varying from nearly level to gently sloping flats on the southern end of the ranch to significant hill land on the southern and western area of the ranch. The Carrizozo lava flow forms the eastern boundary of the ranch. Vegetation includes browse and grass species. The primary grasses include, but are not limited to several varieties of grama grass, tobosa, three awns, and alakali sacaton.

The general area of the ranch has experienced drought conditions over the past several years, which decreased forage production. Good management practices have allowed ownership to maintain above 50% of the grazing capacity. However, adequate precipitation during the past growing season increased forage growth to a more normal condition.

This is a unique ranch unit with restricted access, diversified terrain, scenic views and a good and dependable water source. Range conditions are much improved. Call for an appointment to arrange a viewing of the property.
