A grazing lease has been maintained on the property which insures an agricultural tax exemption.  Grazing objectives have been twofold.  In addition to tax benefits, low intensity seasonal rotation grazing has been used as a wildlife management tool to maintain range resources at an optimum level for wildlife production.  Cattle grazing at correct levels can actually improve conditions for deer, elk, and other wildlife because the cattle remove the old growth on grasses that would otherwise be unpalatable to wildlife.  This promotes new growth of palatable grasses and forbs and legumes which are desirable for wildlife.  The past two summers a grazing lease with a limit of 25 cows and their calves was given to Paul and Sherry Brandt of Montrose, a young college educated couple.   Two grazing units are established, but additional cross fencing could be used to divide the property in as many as four units.  The existing units allow cattle to be moved to a large open pasture before the start of the fall bow hunting season and to be removed completely from the property before the fall gun hunting seasons.  Fence construction on the property has also been designed to be wildlife friendly and allow deer and elk to move freely while still preventing cattle movement.
