Notes:
Per the seller, this property has a good amount of irrigation water to keep up with the grass or other crops during dry and hot weather patterns. This would be a great property to put back into a native grass blend, Coastal Bermuda Grass or B-Dahl Grass and use it as a cow/calf place or for weaning and feeding out calves in the spring and summer or Plant it all in wheat for fall and winter grazing.
You could also plant cotton and rotate with Dryland and some irrigated crops.
