The Duran Energy Ranch has historically been a sheep, cattle and llama ranch. The ranch stocking rate is about 11-12 cows per section depending on the rain. The watering, fencing and facilities infrastructure is fully functional and in good condition. Water from four water wells is distributed to 2-3 livestock drinking tanks in every pasture and to every structural facility. City water is also tied in and can be distributed to anywhere on the ranch.

The ranch is separated into eight pastures fenced for both sheep and cattle. Primary grasses are grama varieties, galleta, New Mexico feathergrass, and tabosa. There are some areas that have light to moderate cholla cactus and minor amounts of yucca.

The ranch has been grazed in a proper stewardship manner over the years so there are no vegetative issues.

Structural improvements are typical of ranch operations in the area and are in fair to good condition.

Headquarter improvements consist of:

- A fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bath, fireplace residence

- Enclosed Barn

- Airplane hanger and strip

- Corrals and facilities built to handle sheep and cattle operations

- Railroad boxcar storage units

- Outlying wells have barns and storage facilities.
