WILDER RANCH
DEWEY COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA
LOCATION: 4 miles south of Timber Lake, South Dakota.
SIZE: The ranch consists of 7,600 deeded acres.
FENCES: The complete exterior of the ranch has an 8 foot woven wire and
wooden post elk fence. All of the breeding pens and holding pens
on the interior of the ranch and all cross fences have the same type
of fencing. There are approximately 50-57 miles of exterior and interior elk fence.
WATER: There is a well near the house that supplies water for the house.
There is a well north of the house, a well by the main barn at the
headquarters and a new well between the headquarters and the
lodge. A water pipeline runs from the northwest part of the ranch
diagonally to the southeast area of the ranch. There are 8 hydrants in the big pasture that get water from the well at the house which is supplied to the hydrants from underground water pipelines. A branch of the Moreau River crosses the southern part of the ranch. There are quite a few dams and dugouts on the ranch.
TOPOGRAPHY: The topography varies from nearly level to hilly areas with deep
brushy, tree filled draws. The ranch has very good winter
protection.
TAXES: The 2007 taxes on the deeded land are approximately $17,200.00.
VEGETATION: The pastures consist mainly of buffalo grass, gramma grass,
western wheat grass and crested wheat grass.
MINERAL RIGHTS: The Sellers will convey all owned gas, oil and mineral and fossil
rights.
IMPROVEMENTS: The improvements consist of a fully furnished 184 ft. by 54 ft.
hunting lodge with 10 large rooms plus a complete living quarters,
lobby/dining room, kitchen and large garage/storage area. This storage area is large enough for at least two more rooms. The owner thinks that in addition to two more rooms, there would still be a large enough area for a shop. Please see list of personal property to go with lodge. Other improvements are a two story house for the ranch foreman, a large barn near the house with a complete indoor elk handling facility, several other barns and outbuildings, 50 to 57 miles of elk fence and about 5 miles of water pipeline plus water piped to the breeding and holding pens. There is also a set of working corrals/pens at the headquarters.
HAYLAND: There are about 300 acres of cropland used primarily for hay crops
and this land was planted to sudan grass in 2007.
CARRYING CAPACITY: The Owner is presently running about 1100 elk on the property
and we think this consists of approximately 480 elk females, about
170 calves, 57 yearling heifers, 95 two year old cows, 80 huntable bulls in 2008, 10 breeder bulls, 45 yearling bulls, 180 shooter bulls.(The actual number of elk on the ranch will need to be confirmed by the owner.) The Broker and Seller make no actual guarantee or representation of the carrying capacity of this ranch. Buyers will have to make their own determination regarding carrying capacity of this ranch.
SCHOOL: The closest grade school and high school is in Timber Lake, SD.
POSSESSION: Negotiable.
LISTED PRICE: $5,300,000.00 or $697.37 per acre.

The owner thinks that there are approximately 57 miles of exterior and interior elk fence on the ranch. The entire exterior on the ranch is elk fenced except that the west fence of the lodge area has yard fence and barbed wire fence.
There are 8 water hydrants in the big pasture that get water from the well at the house which is supplied to the hydrants from underground water pipelines.
It should be noted that there will probably be no hay left over at the time of closing since most of the hay for the livestock is normally purchased from a neighbor that lives about a half mile from the ranch. This neighbor usually puts up about 9,000 bales of hay and the Wilder Ranch buys about 3,500 bales from him each year. They usually have a choice of red Siberian millet hay, sudan grass hay or alfalfa and the price has been ranging from $45.00 to $60.00 per ton and the neighbor charges $2.00 per bale to load and unload the hay with his own equipment at the Wilder Ranch. In addition to this the Wilder Ranch has about 300 acres of crop land normally used for hay crops and this land was in sudan grass in 2007. The Wilder put up about 770 bales of sudan grass in 2007. At any time the Wilder Ranch would normally have no more that 2 month's of hay on the ranch, as it is purchased as needed. If there is any hay left over at the time of closing, this hay would be conveyed to the buyer.
The owner is currently feeding the elk sudan grass hay plus about 3 pounds of corn per animal per day. Regarding the buffalo, most of the buffalo are still grazing in the big pasture but the owner will be bringing the cows in soon to wein the calves and at that time the cows will be fed some sudan grass hay. The condition of the elk and the buffalo seems to be very good according to the manager except for the 70 old elk cows which should be sent to slaughter.
The ranch generated approximately $173,430.00 from elk and buffalo hunting in 2007. At this time for 2008 there are eight booked hunts with deposits and there are about twelve hunts without deposits.
