Several miles of the legendary North Platte River
Low overhead ranch with excellent annual income potential
Trophy elk, mule deer, antelope, upland birds, & waterfowl
Outstanding cattle ranch with fishing, hunting, & investment opportunities
Several miles of the fabled North Platte River grace the southern end of the Haystack River Ranch, just outside of Rawlins, Wyoming. A legendary history of native Americans, fur trappers, railroaders, and outlaws enliven the legacy of this part of Wyoming, and Haystack River Ranch lies in the middle of it all. With over 92,000 acres controlled in a combination of deeded and leased land, this vast property is a proven low overhead cattle operation, with notable fishing and hunting opportunities, along with intriguing investment potential in the domains of energy leasing and environmental credits.
The North Platte River is the key to the productivity of Haystack River Ranch. The river supplies irrigation water for several hundred acres of irrigated and sub-irrigated meadows, which is the mainstay for the cattle operation on the property. In addition, numerous springs and 30 stock ponds keep livestock supplied throughout the ranch property.
The ranch occupies the broad North Platte River bottomland at approximately 7000 feet elevation, along with the adjoining uplands and rocky Haystack Mountains. A mix of natural and irrigated grasslands, sagebrush, and rocky outcrops creates a classic "Wyoming mix" of habitat that serves big game herds of pronghorn, elk, and mule deer well. Hunting for these big game species, plus upland birds and waterfowl, is excellent on Haystack River Ranch.
Trout fishermen need no introduction to the North Platte, as one of America's great trout rivers. It is large enough on the ranch to be fished either by floating or wading, and offers resident populations of brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout, and even some walleye. The presence of sprawling Seminoe Reservoir a few miles downstream means that trophy-sized fish make their way up to Haystack River Ranch on a regular basis. The chances of hiking into fish measured in pounds is very real at Haystack River Ranch! In addition, the famed Miracle Mile of the North Platte is only a short drive away, as well as outstanding stillwater fishing in Seminoe Reservoir itself.
Haystack River Ranch has proven to be a successful cattle operation due to its hay production, low overhead, and significant contiguous acreage available. Approximately 25,000 acres are deeded, and 40,960 acres are permitted BLM lands. A private lease from Anadarko of 23,527 acres and a small state lease complete the 92,447 acres controlled by the cattle operation. All told, the property supports over 9,000 AUMs. Historically, cows and calves have been turned out to pasture in the spring in the northern part of the ranch, and cows are wintered in the southern portion. Supplemental feeding is generally required from December through April. In recent years, the ranch has supported a yearling operation and is well suited for that as well.
Improvements on the ranch are geared towards an efficient cattle operation, and include two homes, a calving and vet barn, feedlot, horse barn and various outbuildings. Lying in generally open country, OHV or horse access is good throughout the property.
Haystack River Ranch can be operated successfully as an efficient cattle business with few changes or can be seen as an investment opportunity with recreation, wind power and conservation potential. The ranch is currently under a multi-year cattle lease offering very attractive annual income possibilities to a new owner. The hunting and fishing opportunities here could be marketed, and lodging constructed to support them. Wind rights, valuable in southern Wyoming, come with the property, and conservation easements or carbon credit opportunities could be an effective way to produce income as well.
Rawlins, a hub community of about 8,000 people, is located just southwest of the ranch. It is the county seat of Carbon County and has all amenities of a small city, including an abundance of retailers, restaurants, a hospital. The area is rich in history, including the original transcontinental railroad as well as being one of the haunts of outlaw Butch Cassidy and his gang. Today, the Wyoming Frontier Prison Museum is a popular attraction. Rawlins is well-connected to the rest of the world via Interstate 80, one the nation's major transportation arteries, and its municipal airport.
Haystack River Ranch shines as a fine opportunity for investment in a proven cattle ranch, with low overhead to keep it profitable. Investment growth may well be found in capitalizing on wind, recreation, and conservation. But in the end, perhaps the greatest asset of this property is the North Platte River itself which will for generations will nourish the land, cattle, wildlife, and not the least, trout that are as legendary as the river itself.

Contact for Price • 77,261 acres
Comprising 77,261 deeded acres and 12,000 acres of leased land, this represents one of the most significant private landholdings in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas. Encompassing the majority of two entire mountain ranges, this is an opportunity to control a landscape at true geographic scale. Elevations rise dramatically from desert grasslands along the Rio Grande to the summit of Eagle Peak at 7,484 feet, offering exceptional topographic diversity. This elevation change creates a classic “sky island” ecosystem—an isolated mountain environment where increased rainfall, cooler temperatures, and varied soils support vegetation and wildlife typically absent from surrounding desert.

S Bar Ranch – 19,816± Acres North of Custer, Yellowstone County, Montana Located approximately five miles north of Custer, Montana, and the Yellowstone River, the S Bar Ranch offers an exceptional combination of size, production, and recreation in one of the most desirable ranching regions of the state. With paved access and only an hour’s drive to Billings and its international airport, this ranch is both productive and convenient. This well-cared-for ranch has never been overgrazed and features high-quality native grass supporting a carrying capacity of approximately 600 cow/calf pairs. The property is cross-fenced into 14 pastures, with strategically placed water tanks served by 15 electric wells and one solar well. Additional water resources include 12 reservoirs that hold water consistently and eight seasonal springs, ensuring reliable livestock and wildlife water throughout the year. The ranch’s fencing is in excellent condition, with updates completed after the 2021 wildfire. Power is provided by NorthWestern Energy, and road access is excellent via a maintained county road off Musselshell Trail Road. Ranch improvements include two well-kept homes and multiple working facilities. The main residence is a 2,288± sq. ft. 2003 double-wide with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The second home, built in 1975, is 2,624± sq. ft. with three bedrooms and two bathrooms—ideal for a guest house or ranch manager’s quarters. A heated 26’ x 61’ shop offers ample space for maintenance and storage. The ranch also includes an exceptional processing area, barn, loading chute, and sorting alleys covering approximately five acres. The handling system features a heavy-duty squeeze chute and processing drum, designed for both buffalo and cattle. Wildlife is abundant, with Hungarian partridge, sharptail grouse, sage grouse, mule deer, antelope, and elk commonly found across the property. The ranch lies within FWP Hunting District 701, with 590 for elk, and qualifies for landowner preference tags. The terrain consists of rolling hills and native grassland, with timber ridges on the south end of the property offering natural protection and scenic beauty. The productive soils and consistent water make it ideal for both livestock and wildlife management. The S Bar Ranch is a versatile operation supporting cow/calf, yearling, and horse programs, with potential fall grazing leases that may transfer to the buyer. The ranch has not been hunted in three years, leaving wildlife populations strong—particularly mule deer and upland birds. With its combination of excellent grass, water, improvements, and access, opportunities of this scale and quality are increasingly rare in the Custer–Bull Mountains region. The S Bar Ranch represents an outstanding chance to own a proven working ranch with impressive recreational appeal. ● 600-Head Cow/Calf Capacity – High-Quality Native Grass Ranch ● 15 Electric & 1 Solar Well | 12 Reservoirs | 8 Seasonal Springs ● Cross-Fenced Into 14 Pastures for Efficient Grazing Management ● Two Homes Plus Heated Shop and Modern Working Facilities ● Buffalo-Ready Processing Area with Heavy-Duty Handling System ● Excellent Wildlife Habitat – Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope & Upland Birds ● Prime Location Near Custer MT and Yellowstone River Access ● Rare Montana Ranch Investment with Production and Recreation

$21,500,000 • 49,398 acres
Located in Eastern Montana’s short-grass prairie country, Antelope Springs Ranch encompasses approximately 49,398 total acres, of which 43,278 are deeded open grasslands. For the past thirteen years, it has been managed under a regenerative grazing model that has kept this iconic landscape resilient through both high-moisture years and extended drought. Currently, the ranch is running 400 cow -calf pairs with an additional 900 head of yearlings for six months, for an estimated total of 740 animal units. Management believes that the ranch is stocked at about 60% of its carrying capacity, which would rate the carrying capacity at 1,180 animal units. The ranch’s on-site managers, the Smith Family, have been instrumental in restoring this resource through disciplined rotational grazing, soil-health practices, and riparian protection, complemented by thoughtful wildlife management. Their holistic approach has driven a resurgence of native prairie grasses and a measurable improvement in overall landscape health—gains that have been tracked since 2013 by Snaplands, a rangeland-monitoring firm. The ranch takes its name from Antelope Springs, three productive springs on the property that flow year-round—feeding a stock pond and forming a scenic backdrop for the historic Brooks Place. The result is a working cattle ranch that pairs genuine ecological stewardship with a disciplined, low-input operating model: dependable performance on calves, produced from land that is measurably healthier than it was thirteen years ago.

Goodnight Trail Ranch
The Goodnight Trail Ranch is an extraordinary 36,897-acre legacy property located in Las Animas County, Colorado, northeast of Trinidad and extending along the dramatic Apishapa Canyon. Combining large-scale ranching capability, exceptional wildlife habitat, historic significance, and some of the most striking scenery in southeastern Colorado, this ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable turnkey cattle and hunting operation.
The ranch has been thoughtfully improved and is exceptionally well equipped for an efficient year-round cattle operation. Extensive improvements to fencing, livestock water systems, working facilities, and ranch infrastructure allow the property to support approximately 800 cows year-round under normal operating conditions. The ranch's scale, dependable water distribution, productive native grass, and well-planned improvements create an operation that is both functional and manageable. Quality pens, overhead feed bins, equipment storage, and additional support facilities further enhance the ranch's day-to-day efficiency.
In addition to the deeded acreage, the Goodnight Trail Ranch includes approximately 4,895.13 acres of Colorado State lease ground. This additional acreage expands the overall operating footprint of the ranch and further strengthens its grazing capacity and long-term value. The State lease would be included with the ranch, subject to applicable assignment and approval requirements.
At the heart of the operation is an impressive headquarters complex that includes a well-appointed residence, ranch office, separate apartment, working pens, overhead feed bins, and an equipment lean-to. An upgraded cabin provides additional living accommodations for guests, employees, or hunting parties, while a second equipment barn offers further storage for machinery, vehicles, and ranch supplies. These improvements make the Goodnight Trail Ranch ready for immediate use, with the infrastructure necessary to support both livestock and recreational operations.
The ranch offers outstanding big-game and upland-bird hunting opportunities. Located within Colorado Game Management Units 133 and 134, the property supports healthy populations of elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. The diverse terrain, reliable water, expansive grasslands, canyon country, mesas, and secluded draws provide excellent habitat throughout the ranch. Bobwhite and blue quail are also found across the property, adding exceptional upland hunting to an already impressive recreational offering.
The scenery is nothing short of spectacular. Massive mesas and rugged buttes rise to elevations exceeding 6,100 feet, providing panoramic views across the surrounding plains and canyon country. On the northeastern portion of the ranch, a large canyon follows the Apishapa River, creating a dramatic landscape of rock formations, river-bottom habitat, native vegetation, and secluded wildlife corridors. The contrast between the open grasslands, towering mesas, deep canyons, and rugged river country gives the ranch a remarkable sense of scale and natural beauty.
The historic Goodnight Trail crosses the property and provides the inspiration for the ranch's name. This important piece of western history adds a unique cultural element to the property and connects the ranch to the early cattle-driving heritage of the American West.
Approximately 28,735.73 acres of the ranch are protected by a conservation easement held by The Palmer Land Conservancy, while an additional 5,725.13 acres are covered by a separate conservation easement held by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. These easements help preserve the ranch's open space, wildlife habitat, agricultural productivity, and scenic character for future generations.
With 36,897 deeded acres, an additional 4,895.13 acres of State lease ground, exceptional ranching improvements, outstanding hunting, historic significance, impressive headquarters facilities, and breathtaking canyon and mesa scenery, the Goodnight Trail Ranch is a rare and distinguished offering. It is a fully operational cattle ranch, a premier recreational property, and a lasting western legacy capable of being enjoyed for generations.

Encompassing nearly the entirety of a West Texas mountain range is the Wylie Mountains Ranch. The range, named after the pioneer settler Robert K. Wylie (1885), is rich with history and diverse in habitat. The ranch includes desert grasslands/brushlands on its outer portions with foothills, expansive canyons and mountains with numerous peaks over 5,000’ in the more central portions. The different ecosystems provide a home for a diverse array of wildlife as well as grazing opportunities for livestock. LOCATION The ranch is located southeast of Van Horn, TX and about 20 driving miles from the Culberson County Airport. Drive time to Marfa is an hour and about 20 minutes; El Paso is about 2 hours and Midland is about 2.5 hours. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT The ranch encompasses nearly 100% of the Wylie Mountains with about 3/4 of the ranch being mountainous and some foothills with the remaining portions being in the “flats”. Elevations range from 3900’ to 5310’ above sea level. The ranch has rangeland/habitat areas exhibiting various Chihuahuan Desert ecosystems including desert scrublands, desert grasslands and desert mountains. Accenting the mountainous terrain are immense escarpments and spectacular canyons. Trees found on the ranch, predominantly in the canyons and drainages, include hackberry, evergreen sumac and flameleaf sumac along with other typical species of brush, succulents and grasses across the ranch. Another unique feature of the ranch is a large sinkhole or cave that begs further exploration. WILDLIFE Native Wildlife found on the ranch include mule deer, pronghorn antelope, scaled quail, Gambel’s Quail and the infrequently seen Montezuma Quail. Exotic wildlife found on the ranch include elk and aoudad. The property has been managed predominantly for wildlife with a limited feeding program and water distribution. AGRICULTURE The ranch has been used for livestock grazing in the past; however, at present the only cattle are some strays from a neighbor. IMPROVEMENTS Most of the improvements are located in the headquarters area on the northern portion of the ranch and about 3 miles in from the main gate. The owner’s home is a 3/2 metal sided residence with wrap around covered porch and carport in good condition. It is located on a hill just a short distance east of the operational headquarters. The manager’s home is an older modular 3/2 at the operational headquarters. The headquarters area also includes several barns/sheds, a shop, an equipment shed with a walk-in cooler, traps and working pens. There is another small barn and set of pens on the southern portion of the ranch (the Sloan pasture). WATER Groundwater is available in certain areas of the ranch from the West Texas Bolsons minor aquifer (we believe). There are 6 operating water wells. Most of the wells are about 700’ deep and the best ones are capable of producing 15-25 GPM providing adequate well water for ranching operations. There is an extensive distribution system to troughs and storage across many portions of the ranch. There are also numerous dirt tanks to capture and hold runoff for periods following a rain event. MINERALS Approximately 26,734+/- acres are mineral classified and the specific rights associated with state classified minerals will convey to the buyer. Seller will be reserving any fee minerals owned by the seller. ARCHEOLOGY Among other interesting things, the Wylie Mountains are home to a distinctive agate, referred to as butterscotch agate, that resembles butterscotch taffy and ranges in color from light brown and dark yellowish brown to moderate brown. OTHER In addition to the deeded acreage, the ranch also includes 1,109.5+/- acres of land leased from the Texas Pacific Land Trust. The white dashed line on our map indicates the general location of 470+/- acres of multiple smaller inholdings lacking accessibility. Please ask the listing Broker for more information.

In addition to the quality roads and drivable river access, the property is equipped with five very nice yet modest homes (including one historical), a shop, an equipment barn and several other updated structures. The unbelievably clear water of the Pecos River, rippling arroyos and active wildlife create an extraordinary oasis from the outside world.
WATER
The 9.25-mile stretch of the Lower Pecos River is a mesmerizing sight, featuring clear spring-fed waters, towering canyon walls and an incredible fishery. This secluded river corridor offers deep holes and small rapids, making it perfect for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, tubing, waterfowl hunting, wildlife watching, and simply exploring. Anglers can anticipate catching largemouth bass, sunfish, freshwater drum, catfish, and carp. The expansive river frontage provides unmatched beauty and endless opportunities for exploration, a feature rarely found on other ranches.
Distinctive aspects of the ranch’s riverfront are the conveniently located put-in and take-out points offering easy access to water activities. To the north is the Grapevine access point while the Live Oak access point lies to the south, both capable of driving a sports car to the river’s edge. The vega along the river at the Live Oak access point stretches for nearly 1.5 miles, providing another exceptional opportunity for usable river frontage.
In addition to the river, the ranch boasts 18 water wells, the majority of which are operational and provide water access for wildlife, as well as distribution to drinkers and natural water features. Several of the water wells are capable of flow rates in excess of 100 GPM, ensuring a reliable and abundant water source throughout the property.
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
As you travel west from the Texas Hill Country to the Trans Pecos, there is a certain element that sets one ranch apart from another, known as the wow factor. The Silver S Ranch embodies the wow factor, thanks to its unique natural features and enhanced accessibility within the rugged terrain of the lower canyonlands of the Pecos River.
In addition to the breathtaking Pecos River Canyon, the ranch is home to numerous other stunning canyons, including the massive Harkell Canyon and the equally impressive Moose Canyon. The property also boasts a variety of caves, shelters and rock art sites, inviting exploration and discovery. Elevations range from about 1,320 feet to nearly 1,935 feet at several locations.
Native grasses and a wide range of brush cover the ranch, with stands of live oaks and shin oaks found within the canyons and arroyos.
Historically, much of the ranch was used for sheep grazing and some limited cattle grazing. It is currently managed for wildlife and has been for some time.
WILDLIFE, HUNTING & FISHING
The Silver S Ranch is teeming with wildlife, offering an abundance of hunting and watching opportunities. The seller has made significant investments in the quail and deer populations as well as other wildlife. The ranch is home to quality populations of white-tailed deer, scaled quail, javelina, aoudad, dove and waterfowl. A year-round supplemental feeding program is in place with blinds and feeders placed across the property. Predators including mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats and foxes can also be found on the ranch. Occasionally, a mule deer will make an appearance, and black bears are known to be expanding into the area.
Birdwatching opportunities exist with migratory songbirds and raptors present at certain times of the year. Situated along the Monarch butterfly migration route, ranch owners can witness one of the world’s most awe-inspiring phenomena during the October migration.
ROADS
Access is one of the most crucial requirements for a property of this size and in this area. The Silver S Ranch delivers 24 miles of professionally built roads with reinforced culverts, designed to last for years with minimal maintenance. There are two drive-down roads leading directly to the river, both allowing 2WD access. Each road is strategically spaced about a day’s fishing or paddling distance apart. These top-notch roads make the ranch usable at a level that is hard to replicate.
HOMES & STRUCTURES
At the heart of Silver S is the main headquarters area that includes the newly updated, historic 3-bedroom Merle and French Ingram cut limestone home that dates back to the 1930s. A small remodeled guest cabin, a relatively new ranch hand trailer, an equipment barn, a shop, a storage barn, and several other outbuildings can also be found in the main headquarters area.
To the north, there is an additional 4-bedroom ranch home with an open floor plan and nearby small barn used for hunting vehicle storage. This home is conveniently near Pandale Road, allowing easy access to the property.
To the south, you will find a visually appealing and comfortable 3-bedroom double-wide overlooking the stunning Pecos River and Harkell Canyon.
SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
The Harkell Cave is hidden on the Pecos River side of Harkell Canyon with commanding views of the river. The cave has been cleaned and equipped with a fire pit, chairs and a hefty supply of firewood, providing the perfect spot to relax or enjoy the spectacular canyon and river views, complete with an adult beverage and cigar! The cave is accessible via trail and a set of custom steps with rails, making it an ideal retreat.
The drivable access point at Live Oak has a beautifully maintained lawn in the river vega offering a scenic setting for camping and cookouts. The road leading out of the river through the ranch’s Live Oak Pasture (named after the large Live Oak along the river that has managed to grow and thrive seemingly out of solid rock) is known as the Encino Solo Trail. In the early days of ranching in this part of Texas, the area ranchers used the Encino Solo Trail to cross the Pecos River and move their livestock from pastures east of the river to shipping points on the western side.
On the northern portion of the river is the Grapevine entry point where swimmers, kayakers, and tubers can access the water for a peaceful float downstream to Live Oak.
MINERALS & COMMERCIAL WATER
Approximately 3,950+ acres are state-classified minerals, and the rights associated with those will convey. There are no leases or production in place.
Seller’s fee minerals and commercial water rights are reserved but negotiable. Contact the Broker for more information.
TAXES
The open spaces of the ranch are being managed for wildlife and appraised under 1-D-1-Wildlife Management valuation.
HISTORY
The ranch has numerous sites containing Native American Pictographs (Rock Art). Shumla Archaeological Research and Education Center (Shumla) studied the pictographs on the property. They found that the upper bench of an offshoot canyon, running west and adjacent to the Pecos River, contains an archaeological rock art mural that is approximately 43 meters long with 36 different grinding features and remnant paint interspersed among the bedrock. The rock art features a large Pecos River style mural, an art style that dates back approximately 3,000 years.
The nearby town of Langtry is rich in history and is known for Judge Roy Bean and his colorful style of justice. Langtry offers the Judge Roy Bean Visitor Center and a few services.
Seminole Canyon State Park is just down the road where human habitation started about 10,000 years ago. The cave art is stunning and is very similar to the art found on Silver S Ranch.
