Primary grass forages on the ranch are gramma varieties and tabosa. Many other palatable annuals dot the landscape throughout the year depending on season. Walnut Draw bisects the ranch and small canyon drainages provide many varieties of desirable browse forage plants. These draws provide livestock protection from the occasional winter snow storm.
