Brinker Creek Ranch is an exceptional agricultural property with a multitude of recreational opportunities located within easy reach of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area. The 1,451 deeded acres includes ~250 acres of irrigated hay meadows with substantial water rights, quality grazing on native rangeland, and habitat for diverse wildlife such as elk, mule deer, moose, pronghorn, waterfowl, and a variety of other species. A BLM lease of 280 acres increases the total operational acreage to 1,731 acres. The ranch typically produces ~290 tons of high quality grass hay, can carry ~250 cow-calf pair year-round, and allows for endless hiking, biking, riding, ATVs, snowshoeing, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, and fishing.
