This ranch is located northwest of Melrose, New Mexico and approximately two miles west of the Ima Community House on Hwy 156 with one mile of highway frontage.

Water is produced for domestic/cattle usage by two wells (one equipped with a pump powered by a submersible electric motor and one equipped with a windmill) furnishing water for storage tanks servicing several miles of pipeline with drinking tubs.

This ranch has 2,551 acres +/- of native grass which is fenced for livestock grazing and 1,895 acres +/- currently being dry land farmed for wheat and milo (aka maize or grain sorghum) and is also fenced for livestock grazing as well.

With approximately 1,895 acres +/-in cultivation and the balance being in native grass this property makes for an excellent farming/livestock combination.

This ranch is located in an area of Eastern New Mexico known for its good crop production because of the strong soils in this area and is also known for its strong grasses for livestock grazing. In the past this area has been known for excellent winter wheat grazing and spring wheat production for harvest due to historically wet winters with snow and rain and spring and summer rain for milo (aka grain sorghum or maize) production.
