Presently fenced as one unit, this property has exceptional water availability with pipeline supporting 3 water tanks, supplied by the Butte Meade Rural water system, as well as 7 stock dams. This grass has historically been used for cow calf pairs in various phases of the seasons.

Carrying capacity is owner operated at around 110-125 pair during a 6 month season. Fences on the Tres Crosses grass are in exceptional condition, with most of them consisting of a 6 barbed wire fence, and half of the fence line being only a few years old.
