Description: This combination grazing/recreation property is located in central Osage County, just minutes from downtown Pawhuska. Saucy Calf creek traverses the property and travels northeast for approximately 1 mile creating excellent wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities. The ranch contains a mosaic of tallgrass prairie, cross timbers vegetation and riparian bottom land. The topography on the property includes approximately 130ft of elevation changes from the peaks of the Osage hills to the winding creek bottom. Sandstone soils support the native grasses, forbs, and legumes with a variety of upland and bottomland timber and woody species. The mile of Saucy Calf Creek truly enhances the unique qualities of the ranch. Acreage: The 510 +/- deeded acres & 10 ac abandoned railroad right of way via QCD, are located in Osage County and sell as surface only. Location: • 10 min from historic downtown Pawhuska, OK • 30 min from Bartlesville • 1 hr from Tulsa Improvements: The ranch has been undergoing recent management renovations including managed grazing, chemical weed control, controlled burning and new fence construction. Approximately 3/4 mi of new fence is currently scheduled to be built. Additionally, 5 ponds are located throughout the property. Multiple locations exist for further water development and large impoundments. Soils/Topography/Forage: The tallgrass prairie forages are evident on the upland soils of the prairie, sandstone base of the cross timbers and the bottom land soils of Saucy Calf Creek and its tributaries. The prairie grasses are represented by big bluestem, Indiangrass, switchgrass and little bluestem to name just a few of the major tallgrass species. The cross timbers contains these same forage species and is noted for the sandstone-based soil. These soils sustain the post oak, blackjack oak and hickory of the upland as well as sand plum, Mexican plum and redbud. The riparian creek bottom and its tributaries will sustain red oak, bur oak, chinquapin oak, pecan, black walnut, sycamore and river birch for just a partial list of species represented. These plants, and many others, are important ingredients of the diverse ecological balance of the tallgrass prairie and cross timbers ecoregions. Wildlife and Recreation: Osage County is well known for the diversity of wildlife and this area is no exception. The upland prairie and mosaic of cross timbers vegetation combined with riparian area of Saucy Calf Creek results in wildlife habitat second to none. White-tailed deer, wild turkey, northern bobwhite quail and other small game such as squirrel, raccoon, coyote, bobcat and rabbit are abundant.
