PRODUCTION:

The Halls Redwater River Ranch is a well-known as a cow/ calf ranch, but could make an excellent yearling outfit with additional fencing. Supplemental feeding requirements vary on the winter conditions and hay is typically fed from Dec to the end of April. The cropland has also historically provided the following approximate yields on average (the local farmer that leased the property says years with moisture can provide great yields and dry years can be more challenging:

Hay 1/2 to 3/4 Tons per Acre on years with decent moisture (per Farmer that Leased the Cropland)

Barley 30-35 Bushels per Acre (per Farmer that Leased the Cropland)

Wheat 23-27 Bushels per Acre (per Farmer that Leased the Cropland)

NORTH PARCEL - During the winter/spring of 2019-2020, the current owners calved / wintered 110-cows / 20-Bulls / 10-Horses and rotated them through for summer grazing. They leased the North Parcel for grazing starting in 2020 to run cow/calf pairs.

SOUTH PARCEL - The South Parcel has 1,674.6 +/- acres of Expired CRP / Cropland, historically offering superb grazing with up to 2-3 times that of typical native grass without competing with sagebrush and trees, the remaining acres have a healthy Stand of Native Grass.

EXPIRED CRP CONTRACTS - SOUTH PARCEL:

The total amount of Grasslands CRP Enrolled on the South Parcel is 1,674.60 +/- acres.

CRP Contract #910B (1,480.60 acres) 15 - Year Contract that expired 9-30-2015

&

CRP Contract #912B (194.60 acres) 14 - Year Contract that expired 9-30-2014

The Cropland was once Farmed, raising Wheat, Barley and a little Alfalfa. It was then enrolled into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and was grazed and hayed when allowed. After the CRP enrollments expired, the Retired CRP and the rest of the acreage has been utilized as a Winter/Spring feed/calving base as well as some years, Summer Grazing for best management practices.

During the winter/spring of 2019-2020, the current owners, wintered/calved 150-cows. Later that spring, they sold 120-pair, (reducing the herd for retirement purposes and preparing to lease the Parcels for Grazing) and moved the remaining 30-pair to the North Parcel to summer.
