Combining extensive native<br \/>\ngrazing acreage, irrigated pasture and hay ground, reliable year-round water<br \/>\nresources, and a well-maintained home, the ranch offers the components<br \/>\nowner-operators seek in a practical and efficient operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The deeded ranch acres include approximately 3,362 +\/- native<br \/>\ngrazing acres, 355 +\/- acres of improved pasture, previously in CRP, and 264<br \/>\n+\/- flood irrigated acres. 400 BLM Acres in the North Third Creek Grazing<br \/>\nAllotment, and a 640-acre State Section bring the total ranch acres to just<br \/>\nover 5,000.\u00a0 The 5-acre homesite is<br \/>\nsituated to take advantage of the spectacular views overlooking\u00a0 Larb Creek and the surrounding ranch.<br \/>\nIrrigation water is supplied through the Malta Irrigation District,<br \/>\nsupplemented by water rights from three Beaver Creek pump sites, providing<br \/>\nflexibility in years of drought. Historically, the irrigated acres have been<br \/>\nutilized as a hay base producing Garrison grass hay, grazed to increase<br \/>\ncarrying capacity, or managed as a combination of both depending on the ranch<br \/>\nobjectives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Water resources are a significant asset to the ranch. Beaver<br \/>\nCreek, Larb Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek contribute to the property&#8217;s<br \/>\nwater system, while reservoirs, stock water pits, and a developed spring provide<br \/>\nwater throughout the operation. Owner reports indicate a carrying capacity of<br \/>\napproximately 175 cow\/calf pairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The headquarters includes a well-maintained residence,<br \/>\nconstructed in\u00a01977, featuring\u00a0three bedrooms and two-and-one-half<br \/>\nbathrooms on the main level, along with a full unfinished basement. Updates<br \/>\ninclude a three-car attached garage, metal roof, vinyl windows, and underground<br \/>\nsprinkler system. In addition, a second homesite located on the irrigated<br \/>\nportion of the ranch, approximately two miles south of Saco along Larb Creek<br \/>\nRoad, offers electrical service and development potential for an additional<br \/>\nresidence, employee housing, or future operational improvements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">A well-known Sage Grouse lek located on the property<br \/>\nhighlights the quality of the native habitat and serves as a testament to the<br \/>\nstewardship of the land over many decades. The combination of creek corridors,<br \/>\nirrigated ground, native prairie, and water resources creates ideal conditions<br \/>\nfor a variety of wildlife species.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Mule deer, whitetail deer, and upland game birds and<br \/>\nantelope are frequently observed throughout the ranch, providing excellent<br \/>\nwildlife viewing and hunting opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The ranch has been operated and cared for by generations of<br \/>\nthe Taylor and Able families, whose homestead history on the property dates<br \/>\nback to the early settlement of the region as some of the first homesteaders to<br \/>\nput down roots in Phillips County. Today, the ranch remains a productive<br \/>\nagricultural unit with the land base, water resources, forage production, and<br \/>\nimprovements necessary to support a successful cattle operation.<\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<p><!--Features--><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1000px;\">\n<p><strong>PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table class=\"prop_table\" style=\"width: 1000px; ,border: 0px #fff;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Over 5,000 Total Ranch Acres<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Productive Hay &#038; Grazing<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Additional Homesite Potential<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Land for Sale<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Montana Cattle Ranch<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Exceptional Water Resources<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Hunting<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Farms for Sale<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>264+\/- Irrigated Acres<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Move-In Ready  Headquarters<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Ranches<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Country Homes<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gary &#038; Vivian Taylor Ranch A Productive, Self-Sustaining Phillips County Ranch The Gary &#038; Vivian Taylor Ranch encompasses more than 5,000 total acres, including 3,987 +\/- deeded acres, and represents a highly functional livestock operation with the resources necessary to support a productive, self-sustaining ranching enterprise.
