A total of about 215 acres under fence with new, four strand fencing securing the west line along Redland Creek; new five strand along the north, east and SW lines and wire fencing on the south line along CR 413. And an efficient network of cross fencing compliments this phase of the operation. Open pasture covers about 162 acres, woodlands about 46 acres, three lakes/ponds about 7 acres (the largest is 5 acres) and the balance of 15 acres is open land managed on a year to year basis. Some 14 acres of the woodlands are under hotwire fencing set aside for wildlife habitat. A portion of the bottomlands are subject to a flowage easement for a watershed lake located about 1.5 miles downstream.
The soils range from sandy loams on the southern 1/3 of this place to silt loams on the northern 2/3. Some 186 acres are well drained upland soils under very gently to gently rolling topography. The balance 44 acres are bottomland soils. Both the soils and topography are well suited for and have more than adequately supported the owner's current 80 unit cow/calf operation.
In addition to the new fencing, lakes/ponds, value added improvements include two 70 x 70 metal buildings (each enclosed on three sides with graveled floors, one 30 x 40 metal building (enclosed on three sides with graveled floor) and a quality set of portable catch pens (see pics).
