16 GENERAL OPERATION KiamichiLink Ranch is a working cattle ranch comprised of two separate operations. The registered Angus cowherd is recognized as one of the top reputation Angus herds in the country. In the recent past, the ranch conducted, twice a year, highly sought-after yearling, cow and bull production sales right on the ranch in the wellappointed sale barn. The fully complemented assisted reproductive laboratory in the tech barn was designed to be a leader in the embryo transplant and cow recipient sector in the highvolume beef business. It has been estimated that the surface area of this ranch is about 50 percent native grass and improved grasses, with the balance being a rugged scenic terrain of pine forest timber and a large variety of hardwood trees along the woody rocky ridges and the steep hillsides. Elevations vary from around 660 feet to 1,320 feet. The majority of the ranch lies along either side of two main ridges running from southwest to northeast. 16

17 The ever-changing topography highlights the many different characteristics of this ranch. Large sweeping open meadows provide areas for intensive grazing operations. Timber-covered hills and mountains provide potential natural resource harvesting and strong hunting income. In areas where the trees are naturally sparse or have been thinned by timber management, there is natural shading for livestock grazing the thick grass growing beneath the light tree cover. 17

18 WATER RESOURCES The property serves as a major watershed and drainage for areas to the west. Stovepipe, Possum, and Turkey Creeks converge on the property to fill West Fork and Cedar creeks, which are major feeders of the Kiamichi River. These creeks have running water for most, if not all, of the year. West Fork and Cedar creeks have never been seen dry by the current ownership. The property obtained county water service in 2008 by running a water line main to the main household approximately 3.5 miles from HWY 271 N (RWD #4). From there, the water line was taken northward for a couple of miles to serve every new structure as well as every installed cattle waterer on the property, except for those areas served by solar water wells or natural water sources. A dozen solar-powered wells, ranging from 150 to 300 feet deep, were drilled to serve cattle waterers on areas of the property where county water has not been provided. Later, and with the permission of RWD #3, a second water main was installed from the Ridge Road gate to serve cattle waterers on the east side of the property. 18

20 WILDLIFE RESOURCES UPLAND GAME BIRD RESERVE Approximately 610 acres have been enclosed with a predation control barrier, which is a high-quality net wire fence with electrical wire at the top and bottom, with a portion of the fence buried to prevent digging. This fence is used to keep predators out of an area designated for cultivation of quail and pheasant for upland game hunting. The area consists of managed food plots, native grass areas, and planted midrange woody brush cover, primarily in the form of sand plum and lespedeza trees. The bird land, as it is known, has a cabin, an enclosed pavilion, a large fire pit, and a permanent diesel generator for power. 20

The fully complimented assisted reproductive laboratory in the tech barn was designed to be a leader in the embryo transplant and cow recipient sector in the highvolume beef business. KiamichiLink Ranch was conceived and built to be a leading ranching outfit for the future. An excellent road system, T-1 internet backbone, and integrated water system and buried power are just the start. There are three high-capacity backup diesel generators at prime points on the ranch. Well-thought-out buildings with engineered base support and complimentary concrete aprons are at each one. BROKER S COMMENT It has been estimated that the surface area of this ranch is about 50 percent native grass and improved grasses, with the balance being a rugged scenic terrain of pine forest timber and a large variety of hardwood trees along the woody rocky ridges and the steep hillsides. Elevations vary from around 660 feet to 1,320 feet. The majority of the ranch lies along either side of two main ridges running from southwest to northeast. To top all this off, KiamichiLink Ranch in itself is a recreational mecca. The whitetail deer hunting on the ranch is second to none. The fishing component with the stocked large lakes is amazing. The 610± acre bird area is like nothing you ve ever seen before. The owner also designed and installed a challenging clay pigeon course with automatic throwers that provides for highly competitive shooting tournaments, in addition to the ever-challenging wobbler course. 27
