Overview

Executive Summary

The M Spear Ranch is a 7,307± acre operating cattle ranch in Wyoming. It is primarily deeded land, with 680± acres under BLM and State leases, and seasonal Old Woman Creek runs through the property. Twenty-one years of careful stewardship and high-level maintenance by the current owners have made this a move-in-ready ranch. Historically, the ranch has been operated as either a year-round, cow/calf pair operation or as a summer grazing unit for tenant cattle. Owner-rated at 350 pairs for 12 months or 500 pairs for a five-month period. In addition to a large riparian area with intermittent pools, the ranch's 20 tire tanks are fed by three wells, one windmill, and one solar well through 10 miles of pipeline. There is a diversity of cottonwood creek bottoms, native grass prairies, and pine- and cedar-covered hills that offer excellent grazing and allow wildlife to coexist with cattle. The ranch is private and offers exceptional elk, mule deer, and whitetail hunting.
