This combination grazing/recreation property provides quality wildlife habitat and productive grazing.  The ranch contains a mosaic mix of Tallgrass Prairie and Cross Timbers vegetation with approximately 40 acres of introduced forage on the Saucy Calf Creek bottom-land.  The class 1 Verdigris and Braman silt loam soils of the bottom land support an introduced forage base consisting of bermudagrass, fescue, annual ryegrass and clovers.  The sandstone soils support native grasses, legumes and a varied mix of upland timber.  There is 150 ft of elevation change as the terrain varies from 750 ft. to 900 ft. The plant communities, availability of water, topography and savannah landscape provides excellent white-tailed deer and northern bobwhite quail habitat. The ranch is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from downtown Pawhuska.

WATER:

Saucy Calf Creek is spring-fed and runs through the property from the southwest to northeast, providing a dry weather source of water, as well as running water even in cold weather.  There are 4 ponds and a 2 acre lake that provides excellent fishing and recreation value, as well as water for livestock.

SOILS AND VEGETATION:

This rolling “Osage Hills” ranch contains native Tallgrass Prairie grasses, forbs, and legumes in the open prairies and in the Cross Timbers areas oak, blackjack, and hickory.

Prescribed fire has been used to suppress undesirable species such as eastern red cedar and to prevent brush encroachment. Prescribed fire is an excellent wildlife habitat management tool.

The Braman and Verdigris soils along the creek are capable of producing 10,000 lbs/year of forage while the varied upland soils can produce from 3,200 to 7,000 lbs/year.

WILDLIFE:

Osage County is well known for the diversity of wildlife and this area is no exception.  The excellent wildlife habitat and edge provide areas that attract white-tailed deer, wild turkey, quail and many other game and non-game wildlife.  The lake, ponds, and creek attract waterfowl and provide quality fishing opportunities.
