Premier Cattle Ranch Craig County Oklahoma
Craig County Oklahoma is home to some of the most productive grass in the state. The Wattenbarger 1,565 blends the perfect mix of improved and native grasses to capitalize on various key grazing plans and management strategies. This ranch is perfect for a cow/calf producer, stocker operator or used as a ranch to raise replacement cattle. Pasture grasses on this ranch primarily include big and little bluestem, indian grass, bermuda, and fescue. Native grass in this part of the state responds very well to late winter/early spring burning. As cattle producers, one of the most difficult tasks in this industry is getting out of winter and on summer grass, using a prescribed burn plan and with 44" of annual rainfall this ranch really allows a producer to make that transition much more efficiently. With such an even mix of improved and native grass capitalizing on stockpiled forage allows a producer to graze more native grass late fall/early winter, significantly reducing the cost of feeding hay. The majority of the acreage on the ranch is contiguous with the ranch headquarters. The only portion of the ranch not visible from the home is the 320AC that sits adjacent to the largest portion of contiguous acreage. All pastures on the ranch have their own set of pipe corrals. The corrals located at the headquarters allow for an efficient, low stress gathering process. There are several automatic waterers located in the corrals around the headquarters. These waterers are currently filled by rural water but are also plumbed to be run on the well for the home. The fences on this ranch are in good to fair condition.

As you enter this beautiful home you will notice its fully customized kitchen, including large granite counter-tops and solid wood cabinetry.

Features of the grand master include a full bathroom, large closet space for him and her and plenty of space in-between for your boots and shoes. A guest bedroom and full bath is also located on the bottom floor. New carpet has been installed in the living area as well as the upstairs.
