Description
This ranch is located about 2 miles east of Westfall, OR in eastern Oregon. Westfall is about 11 miles NW of Harper, OR which has a grade school and high school. As the crow flies, Westfall is about 23 miles west of Vale, but is about 34 miles by highway through Harper. Vale is the county seat of Malheur County, and is only about an hour from Boise, ID. PROPERTY: This cattle ranch is a nicely diversified ranch, with about 285 acres irrigated at this time, and a BLM permit for 397 head right out the gate. It is a private allotment. There are 1450.53 acres of deeded ground which are contiguous and border or encompass Dry Creek for about 5 miles. The water rights come from Dry Creek and from 4 irrigation wells which are tied together. One well is 1200 gpm and the other three are about 300 gpm combined. There are two windshield wipe pivots, one 28 acre full pivot, and some K-Line sprinklers, along with flood irrigation on the meadows. The land that is irrigated does not use all of the available water rights. Owners are currently irrigating about 285 acres and are working to increase that. There is potential to irrigate more land. Certificates and maps of the water rights are available. CATTLE OPERATION: Owner states the ranch can run 420 cows on a year round basis, raising enough hay to feed the cows and background their weaners. They may purchase some silage for the weaners. The BLM permit is a good permit and is well watered. The permit is the Buckbrush Allotment and the permit is for 397 cows. Turn out is April 1 and runs through October 31. This permit is contiguous to the deeded land and spring turnout is in the lower country at about 3100 ft elevation and goes to the upper country which is close to 6000 ft. There are two homes on this place, one is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home recently remodeled with a nice yard and shade trees. The second house is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home and is very liveable.
