Clover Ranch has everything you need to run a registered or high-end commercial cattle operation. Typical stocking rates in the area run about 1 head per two acres. With it's many pastures for controlled intensive grazing and fertile bottomland soils, the current owners have consistently ran over a head per acre on this ranch for several years. This demonstrates the value of the enormous amount of quality fencing and forethought in pasture layout. Clover Ranch has a total of 9 structures including the 3 bedroom home, 2 equipment sheds, 1 enclosed shop building with concrete floor, brick office/conference area, haybarn, 2 cattle feeding sheds, and an equipment/cattle working facilities barn. There are 10 larger acreage pastures, all with water access, 5 sorting pens with water and feed access, 2 lanes for cattle, tractor, and horseback movement through the ranch, 5 small acreage grazing/feed lots with water access, and an amazing amount of concrete, gravel, and professional drain/grading work done to help keep those high-use areas dry and accessible. If you have ever worked cattle in the mud, you know exactly how valuable that is. There is also an area set up off one of the center lanes for use as a picture pen, which is one of the most important of a well-ran seedstock operation. The cattle working facilities feature a hydraulic Stampede brand squeeze chute, WW brand cattle panels and working lane, a good set-up for AI and ET operations as well as any other veterinary needs, easy access to the sorting pens, and a custom concrete cattle loading chute.

There is even a board fence along the roadfront and primary access road into the ranch.
