Description of the Subject
The Springback Ranch is currently being operated as a small, year-around cattle ranch for a herd of
approximately 68 mother cows. Supplemental feeding is required during the winter months.
Much of the fencing has been replaced with new post and wire.
The ranch is well watered with Springback Creek (North Fork of Salt Trough Creek), Brokenback Creek,
Carothers Lake, and three deep wells, two of which supply domestic water to the home and barn. The creeks
flow from the north to the south.
The ranch has approximately 50 irrigated acres (according to the assessor’s records); however, the current
owner flood irrigates (with some use of gated pipe) approximately 74 acres. Hay is harvested once each season
with a typical yield of 130± tons. Soils on the ranch are of sandy loam mixes of the Spearfish-NevilleTravessilla formation. The average annual precipitation is 11 inches, according to the NRCS. The average
frost-free period is 110-130 days. The elevation ranges from 4,400’ to 5,230’ above sea level.
The property has good water rights and the various sources, which include three artesian wells, two reservoirs
and Carothers Lake, provide an abundant supply of water for irrigation purposes, livestock and wildlife.
Water right information is available upon request from Pearson Real Estate Co., Inc.

Recreational Opportunities
Springback Ranch is a canyon ranch defined by limestone and (red) sandstone cliffs interspersed with lush
irrigated meadows and creek bottoms that rise to sagebrush and juniper breaks making it the perfect habit for
many species of wildlife.
Carothers Lake is spring-fed and covers an area of approximately 35 acres. The current owner has been
renovating the lake, which is currently populated with bass, catfish and turtles. Because of the flowing spring
that feeds into the lake, it may offer other fishing opportunities.
The dramatic red rock and canyon vistas invite horseback or hiking expeditions as well as fishing and hunting
opportunities. Elk, mule and whitetail deer, black bears, coyotes, badgers and other small mammals as well as
raptors, game birds (including pheasant and partridge), and numerous other bird species find the quiet
seclusion of the ranch and surrounding area to be the perfect habitat. The ranch adjoins and is surrounded by
BLM land, which opens direct accessibility to thousands of acres that can be utilized by the public for a variety
of recreational activities.
The ranch is located in the following big game hunting areas: Elk Hunt Area 45, a limited quota hunt area;
and Mule Deer Hunt Area 41 for resident hunters and Region R for non-resident hunters.
Carothers Lake
The Renner Wildlife Habitat Management Area is a 15,590-acre wildlife habitat management area located just northeast of the
Springback Ranch. This area is co-managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, U.S. Bureau of Land Management and
the State of Wyoming. These lands were acquired in 1979 for the purpose of providing crucial big game winter range. About 350
mule deer winter here along with about 80 elk.
There is a variety of vegetation types at varying elevations from 4,000 feet to almost 8,000 feet. You will find sagebrush grasslands,
mountain shrubs and ponderosa pine forests. Renner Reservoir, a 72-acre, man-made impoundment at the upper end of Ziesman
Canyon, also contributes to the scenic beauty of this area. The Renner Reservoir is stocked with largemouth bass, and the fishing is
good. Canada Geese, ducks, shorebirds, songbirds and many small mammals live here. Whether you hunt, fish, bird watch or like to
take photographs, you will enjoy a visit to Renner. (Information taken from http://gf.state.wy.us/accessto/Whmas/renner.asp)

Travelers are welcome and greeted with friendly smiles. Area
residents maintain an atmosphere which exemplifies a genuine
western experience. Ten Sleep got its name by being ten sleeps
(nights) between the Great Sioux Camps and the Platte River to
the south, and the northern camp located near Bridger, Mont.
The area is full of history and is recognized as being the site of
many historic battlegrounds between Indian tribes and the white
man. Located a few miles south of Ten Sleep is the famous site
of the Spring Creek Raid. Here, cattle ranchers and sheep
herders fought a bloody battle over grazing rights that eventually
led to the end of the bitter rivalry.
Scenic wonders ranging from mountain ranges, canyon and pure
mountain streams and lakes are everywhere. Expect to see
abundant sightings of elk, moose, deer and other forest creatures.
To the southwest of Ten Sleep, Castle Gardens present unusual
stone caricatures of animals, castles and other objects of interest.
The Ten Sleep experience is timeless and terrific.
