REMARKS The West Clem is primarily a seasonal desert ranch with an excellent location. The house, range improvements and shipping facilities are in very good condition. The ranch lies north of Interstate 10 with an Interchange located on the southeast corner of the ranch. The shipping corrals are 2½ miles from the interchange with easyaccessforcattletrucks.

TheheadquartersislocatedapproximatelyanhourfromPhoenixandWickenburg. Just as with most desert ranches, the capacity varies from year to year. The owner

has ran up to 250 adult cows year round and at a minimum (no spring or summer rain) 100 head. The 100 head plus that is legally allotted is an easy number for the ranch to handle. The availability of the additional unfenced adverse deeded land withintheallottedareaandtheirstockingratesmakesitpossibletoincreasethecapacity well over the 108 head approved by the State & Federal agencies.

Yearling cattle are rated at a fraction of that used for adults. Therefore, a given piece of land will run a greater number of yearlings than adult cattle. With good rainfall, yearlings will gain as much as 2 lb. per day during the spring.

The West Clem Ranch within the Clem Allotment can be placed in the USDA RiskManagementAgency’sPastureRangelandForageProgram“PRF”.PRFis commonly referred to as Drought insurance or Rainfall insurance.
