EASTERN OREGON RANCH - LOWER SILVIES RIVER RANCH

61687 Lawen Rd, Burns Oregon

This Eastern Oregon Ranch was used as a Hunting Duck Club in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Today it is primarily managed for pasturing cattle and sometime on a good water year produces a little wild hay (30-40 tons). The current owner on a normal water year will graze 250 pairs from April to October or for 5-6 months within the deeded and BLM permit.

The owner also has listed their hay farm separately but could be combined with this pasture ranch making a balanced cattle operation. The owner is currently developing a new set of working corrals and doing some remodeling to the house’s kitchen and bathrooms.
