TERRAIN AND CLIMATE
Terrain across The Outpost Ranch ranges from productive river bottoms and irrigated hay ground to rolling native pasture, cedar covered draws, and rugged upland country.
Elevation ranges from approximately 4,300 feet to 4,600 feet above sea level. According to long term NRCS averages, annual precipitation ranges between 12 and 14 inches annually.
In July of 2024, the northern portion of the ranch was impacted by a wildfire that burned an estimated 50% to 70% of the timber located north of the highway. The wildfire altered portions of the timbered landscape and vegetation density throughout parts of the ranch. Portions of the affected area continue to provide grazing and wildlife habitat. Wildfire impact and timber regeneration conditions vary throughout the northern portion of the ranch, and prospective buyers should conduct their own evaluation of the affected acreage and vegetation conditions. The current owners have elected to keep livestock off of all portions of the ranch that were effected by fire for the 2024 and 2025 grazing seasons to allow the native forage to recover. A large portion of the ranch has also been sprayed with Rejuvra to further enhance the native forages and reduce cheat grass.
The varied topography creates strong livestock habitat, excellent wildlife cover, and expansive views across eastern Wyoming.
