This ranch is a combination of two-thirds (2/3rds) tighter mesquite country and one-third (1/3rd) sand shinnery country. Many years ago, approximately 700 acres of the ranch were in cultivation. This land is now re-seeded to established stands of improved grasses. Overall, the II Weez Ranch has a mixture of palatable native grasses, with the predominate grasses being side-oats grama, little bluestem, blue grama, sand lovegrass, giant dropseed, silver bluestem, hooded windmill, sand bluestem and indiangrass.
Water:
The current owner has spent a lot of time and money making sure this ranch is well watered. Six (6) water wells and several good dirt tanks are located throughout the property. Three of the dirt tanks are located next to a water well which are used to add additional water to the tanks.
Fencing and Livestock Pens:
The exterior fencing on the ranch is all basically new, being of barbed wire and t-post construction. The interior of the ranch is fenced into two pastures, making it possible to keep cattle completely fenced out of the shinnery in the budding stages of the plant. Additionally, a new set of pipe and welded panel pens have been constructed on the northeast side of the ranch.
Hunting:
With the combination of mesquite and shinnery country, the II Weez Ranch offers great hunting opportunities. Four (4) pot belly style deer blinds, eight (8) steel corn feeders and two (2) 1,100 lbs. steel protein feeders are scattered throughout the property and will be conveyed with this sale. The manager of the ranch typically tries to keep corn and protein out for the deer at least 4 to 5 months out of the year.
Taxes:
The 2015 base property taxes were approximately $2,050.

It is not often that a quality turn-key ranch comes on the market in this area. The II Weez Ranch is priced at $975 per acre. For additional information, please contact Rusty Lawson.
