The ranch is divided into four similarly sized pastures and one smaller trap. The ranch can be managed on a rotational grazing program very easily with the pasture infrastructure. Historically, during the summer growing season only one pasture is grazed per week, allowing the other pastures to rest and maximize the benefits from summer rains.

Forage management and rangeland reclamation have been the primary focus for the ranch. Extensive creosote and brush spraying have been done, removing the majority of the undesirable (brush) species from the pastures. Quality forage production is optimum without the brush. Desirable grasses flourish with moisture while having little competition from the brush.

Blue grama, black grama, side oats grama, six weeks grama, plains bristle grass, vine mesquite, tobosa, and sacaton are the predominant grasses found on the ranch. Numerous other grasses can be identified depending on the amount and timing of moisture received.

Water Resources:

The ranch has three wells. The main well at the headquarters is currently the only one equipped and in use. There are two storage tanks and five troughs supplied by a pipeline system. The majority of the pipeline is 1-1/4" inch black poly pipe. The well is on a timer making water pumping very effortless.

Climate:

The climate in west Texas is very moderate and desirable. Winters are usually very mild, with occasional snow not lasting over a few days per season. Spring is generally the windy season for this part of the country. The early summer months (June and July) typically are the hottest months, when temps might be expected to reach 100+ degrees. However, in normal monsoon flow years, after the heat of early summer, August through October tend to be the strongest rainfall months. Comfortable weather and beautiful colors are the usual theme for fall. In normal years after an average summer, the ranch is very maintenance/labor un-intensive through fall and winter until temps begin to warm again in the spring and water consumption begins to increase.

Facilities and Improvements:

There is a rustic 3 bed/ 2 bath bunkhouse. A large metal barn with a concrete floor is located near the house. The barn has two large sliding doors, a loft, overhangs for additional parking, and has electricity and lights. There is a small set of pipe pens behind the barn connected to the horse trap.

Located in the center of the ranch sits the main set of working corrals. They are constructed in a circular design out of steel pipe. There is an adjustable working alley with a concrete floor, squeeze chute, three holding pens, a large water lot, and a semi-truck loading ramp.

Wildlife:

There is excellent forage, browse, and cover for a variety of wildlife on the ranch. Pronghorn antelope are frequently seen throughout the ranch. Oryx and mule deer pass through as well. During average rainfall periods, quail are bountiful and thrive with the abundant cover the ranch offers. Dove in the fall of the year are numerous around waterings and corrals. For varmint hunters, coyote, javelina, bobcat, and fox can be seen on the ranch.

Sellers Remarks:

The Stewart Ranch at Cornudas is realistically priced at $3,936,875 or approximately $625 per deeded acre. This is a great western ranch. The ranch has not been grazed since 2020. The infrastructure is excellent, and pasture improvement has been the focal point. The diversity of this ranch is truly unique, optimizing the usability and flexibility for the owner. The opportunities for horseback riding, ATV-ing, hunting/shooting, and outdoor recreation are limitless! In a day and age when life seems so busy and hectic, you can come into the ranch...close the gate behind you...and leave the world outside! This is a rare opportunity to purchase an outstanding west Texas ranch that has been in the same family for over 40 years.
