Property Details

Deeded Land

The 105 Mile Ranch owns 11,360 deeded acres. Bisected by Highway 97, these 68 titles are otherwise contiguous and are located at an elevation of around 3,100 feet. Although the Ranch is no longer irrigated, these pasture lands provide excellent spring and fall grazing. An irrigation program would greatly increase the Ranch’s carrying capacity; however, access to sufficient water has recently been a challenge.

Grazing License

The grazing rights for the 105 Mile Ranch consist of approximately 400,000 acres of grazing land to the southwest of the deeded lands. These lands provide for 3,585 AUM or about 800 head of cattle.

 The grazing license for the Ranch expires in December 2011 and will need to be renewed.  The current operator was not intending to utilize the grazing license this year and as such took out a no-use permit for this season. A new operator would be required to submit their range use program to the Ministry in order to renew the license as a new operator.

Water Licenses

The Ranch maintains four water licenses that provide for an estimated 160 acre feet of water (approximately 20 acre feet is designated for storage).
