ROBERTS RANCH

CROOK COUNTY, WYOMING

LOCATION

The ranch is located 1.5 miles north of Hulett, Wyoming.  It is also

located about 55 miles northwest of Spearfish, South Dakota and

about 15 miles northeast of Devils Tower.

SIZE

There are about 1,954 deeded acres and a section of State school

lease so the entire ranch is about 2,594 acres.  There is also an

additional 40 acre tract of land located on the river that should be

purchased that  is close to the current building site.  The owners

of this 40 acre tract will sell this land for the same amount per acre

that the rest of the ranch sells for.

FENCES

Most of the exterior and interior fences are 4 and 5 strand barbed

wire and there is also some woven wire fences.  The south border

fence needs to be repaired.

WATER

There is one well that is 80 feet deep at the house, two reservoirs,

one spring and about one mile of the Belle Fourche River.  The

owners have 50 acre feet of water available for irrigation and this

is through the Belle Fourche Irrigation District.           

IMPROVEMENTS

There is a 28’ X 80’ 1998, 2000 square foot Skylight mobile home,

an older open face shed and an older barn.  There is also a mobile

home hookup with its own septic system.

TOPOGRAPHY

The ranch consists of rolling, well sodded grassland with scattered

pine trees and deciduous trees.  The land near the river is mostly

flat pasture land or hay ground and there are beautiful sandstone

rim rock formations along some areas of the river.

VEGETATION & HAYLAND

There are many ponderosa pine trees, oak, ash and cottonwood

trees that add to the beauty of the ranch.  It has a combination of

western wheatgrass, buffalo grass, crested wheatgrass and brome

grass.  There are about 240 acres of hay land consisting of 100

acres of intermediate wheatgrass and 140 acres of hay millet.  If the

ranch is purchased before the haying is started the buyer will receive

all of the hay. The buyer will get the landlords share if the ranch is

purchased after the haying is done.                                   

MINERAL RIGHTS

The owners have no mineral rights on this ranch.

SOILS

The soils are mainly shallow to moderately deep well drained soils

on the uplands which are very suitable to well sodded native     

grasses and introduced grasses.  Much of the river bottom land is

very deep, well drained loamy soils with a clay mixture.

round depending on weather, growing season, grazing management
