Miami, TX 79059 - Roberts County

Location:

The Roberts County Ranch is situated in the east-central part of Roberts County, approximately six linear miles north of Miami, the county seat of Roberts County. Access to the ranch is good. The ranch is bisected by Quarter Horse Road, a graded county road.

Topography:

The topography of this fine ranch ranges from rolling to broken with elevations from 2,680 to 3,000 feet MSL. The ranch is a combination of rolling upland grassland prairie and breaks. Approximately 30% to 40% of the ranch is characterized as breaks country. The rolling uplands are open with an excellent turf of native grasses. Several draws and seasonal creeks traverse and head on the ranch, draining the upland country. The most prominent drainage on the ranch is Horse Creek. This wide productive creek bottom traverses the west-half of the ranch in a northerly direction. The most rugged portions of the ranch are found along this seasonal creek. The primary vegetation includes buffalo grass, grama grass, bluestem, Indiangrass, beargrass and catclaw. Cedar becomes prominent in and along the rocky sideslopes and concentrated in the northwest part of the ranch. Soil types on the ranch include loams, clay loams and fine sandy loams.

The ranch is fenced and cross fenced into 13 pastures and 5 smaller traps. The fences are all in excellent condition, having been replaced after a wildfire in March 2006. Two pastures in the northwest part of the ranch are separated by the natural rimrock boundary. The main pastures range in size from approximately 350 to 1,420 acres in size.

Water Features:

This ranch is extremely well watered. The ranch sits above the Ogallala Aquifer with its ample resources of good quality domestic and livestock water.

Livestock water is provided by approximately 17 windmills, plus two wells equipped solar pumps and one additional well equipped with an electric submersible pump. The wells range in depth from approximately 200 to 300 feet, for the wells in the bottoms, and 600 feet, for the wells on the elevated uplands. Surface water features include numerous earthen tanks, spring, seasonal creeks and draws. The dirt tanks catch runoff and aid in erosion controll. These tanks are not reliable for year around sources of water, and the ranch is not dependent on tank water.

Like most ranches in Roberts County, the commercial water rights are owned by the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority. There are protections in place for the security of domestic and livestock water on the ranch for future generations.

Structural Improvements:

The ranch is well improved for the day to day operations. Structural improvements have been well maintained. The headquarter improvements include the following a manager's house, guest house, horse barn, equipment barn, hay shed and loafing sheds. The main barns were all constructed after the March 2006 fire.
