The Moreland Home Place spans 3,352± deeded acres. This Colorado ranch presents a unique opportunity to own and operate on the short-grass prairie, one of the most productive and resilient grazing ecosystems in the West. The prairie is renowned for its ability to maintain nutritional forage even in dry conditions, supporting cattle health and efficient weight gain. Historically, this property was operated as a cow/calf ranch, taking advantage of the land’s consistent grazing quality and abundant water resources. In recent years, ownership has successfully leased the ranch to outside operators for summer grazing of yearlings from June to September, demonstrating its flexibility for various types of cattle enterprises.
The ranch is fully fenced and cross-fenced, allowing for strategic rotational grazing and efficient use of the grass resource. Four dependable water wells service the pastures, providing reliable water distribution throughout the property. Functional cattle working facilities include shipping corrals with processing equipment and a scale, ensuring smooth management and shipping operations.
Improvements on the ranch strike a balance between comfort and utility. A 1,680± square foot home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full unfinished basement, providing comfortable living quarters for a manager, family, or guests. Outbuildings include a 60’ x 40’ Quonset hut for machinery and hay storage, a 46’ x 30’ garage, and a 120’ x 21’ lean-to shed, all designed to support ranching operations with ample space for equipment, vehicles, and supplies.
Whether operated as a traditional cow/calf ranch, continued as a lease property for yearlings, or tailored to another livestock program, this ranch offers outstanding versatility. Its short-grass prairie provides both resilience and productivity, supporting long-term operations with minimal input costs. With excellent working facilities, water infrastructure, and a strong history of both owner and lease operations, the property is well-positioned for a new owner to step in and benefit immediately.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, well-improved ranch where natural resources, functionality, and flexibility come together to support generations of cattle ranching success.
