Located in the Texas Claypan Prairie, the range is defined by a dark red sandstone, a claypan, which is a dense clay subsoil underlying sandy and loamy surface layers. These soils create a diverse mixture of native grasses and hardwoods, including live oak, post oak, blackjack oak and mesquite trees. Much of the ranch is heavily wooded, providing excellent cover along with natural browse for the prevalent wildlife. As the elevation falls toward Artesia Creek, you enter a mesquite flat with good stands of native grasses, excellent for cattle. WILDLIFE The ranch has a healthy population of white-tailed deer with some nice bucks having been taken over the years. Both deer and Rio Grande turkey traverse the creeks with the turkey roosting in the large trees along the borders. Dove, hogs and various varmints will keep you busy hunting throughout the year.
