Ranch Description

Working Cattle Ranch, Irrigated Farm and Trophy Whitetails, Pheasants, Turkey, Waterfowl with Grazing Allotment or without Grazing Allotment The Turner Ranch Legacy, located just north of the Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site in La Junta Colorado, is one of the last great working cattle ranches combined with 700+ irrigated farm ground, farm acreage and incredible hunting properties all rolled into one that still exists today. Being worked by the same family since 1964, the ranch totals +/-14,177 acres comprised of +/-3112 acres of deeded bottomland, +/- 1185 acres of state lease and 175 shares of the Timberlake Grazing Association +/- 9880 acres of state lease and deeded ground. This Grazing Association has been in existence since 1966, is well watered and extends to Horse Creek Reservoir. The bylaws state it will have perpetual existence. Timberlake Grazing Association borders upon the Timberlake Horse Creek Reservoir that provides excellent fishing and unparalleled water fowling including pintails, mallards, widgeon, teal, honkers, snows and speckle-bellied geese. Timberlake Association members have access to this lake and its recreation. The Turner Ranch has been and is currently running +/- 450 head of white face Herefords and on good precipitation years can carry quite a bit more. The +/- 700 acres of irrigated ground produces alfalfa, wheat, oats and other crops annually and holds an incredible amount of deer, turkey and pheasants on the property. Trophy Whitetail, Pheasants And Waterfowl With over 6.5 miles on both sides of Horse Creek year round water way the ranch provides for incredible trophy whitetail hunting, with one of the largest bucks in the state coming from this ranch. The western breaks hold a pretty good herd of mule deer and elk can be seasonal on the ranch. Bobwhites and blue quail both call the ranch home and one can't go anywhere on the ranch without flushing pheasants in good numbers. Water fowling includes woodies along the creek, mallards and pintails on most of the waterways, marshes and ponds. Of course the Timberlake Reservoir can be black with water owl certain times of the year.
