Your place looks alot like our river pasture...we'd love to live on our pasture land,the problam being is its virtually impossible to get decent amount of water to service a house. I've wondered a while about some of the places you guys live how is your water?

Really nice pictures by the way

Mrs. Greg, there is a running joke that in the country just south of us, it is closer to water horizontally, than it is vertically. And it may be the truth, as there are no wells in a big area. We are 80 to 250 ft. to water in most places other than the very S. end of our ranch. There may be no water there, but it is piped into it thankfully.

EmptyPockets, great pictures. You are a lucky man. I really admire your country.
 
Sure some pretty landscape you have...Hopefully you're warming up enuff to melt that white stuff away, and lock that moisture into the ground for later use..lol Our snow is pretty much gone today...
 
Glad you all enjoyed the pictures. I really appreciate the trouble Soapweed , and all you other go thru downloading pictures then posting them. It takes some doing but is worth it if people enjoy them.

Mrs. Greg, Tap is right about a lot of this country. We have one well at the far north end of the ranch and nothing south where the good breaks are. We have a lot of large stock dams and were fortunate enough in the early 80's to have tri-county water (a rural water project piped in from the Missouri River) come thru for drinking and for watering livestock during dry spells.

Today we hit +47 so see a lot of brown spots. Hopefully this isn't the last of the snow we recieve as we aren't going to get any runoff to amount to much out of this snow. The water content in this snow wasn't very high, but after settling it should be good base for future moisture. It will definately go straight into the ground so the grass will have something to start with.

Juan, we're on the north side of the Cheyenne River, in the Cheyenne River breaks but have had others thought we were close to the bad lands also.

Later--EP :wink:
 
Thanks EP and Tap for answering my question,interesting how others ranch with whats available and how they work it. This is a great site for the stuff a person learns.
