The Sandhills of Nebraska is the Nation s largest undisturbed native grassland area. It covers approximately 13 million acres in 20 counties located in the north central part of the state.

Approach to Management and Revenue All three Mule Shoe Bar Ranches under the current ownership have been utilized by grazing. In the analysis and use of the three resources, grazing has also been the predominant use. However, both the Beck Ranch and the South Ranch possess sub irrigated range sites, some of which could be routinely hayed each summer; if the owner chose to have a balance of hay on hand for the winter months. The USDA NRCS has developed and provided both ranch range site maps with estimated acreages as well as an animal unit study for each ranch. These studies have been utilized in determining the estimated carrying capacities of each ranch resource. What follows are each of the ranches estimates of deeded acres and current real estate taxes from the respective counties; as well as the NRCS estimates of

4 Property Highlights History The Mule Shoe Bar Ranches have a previous ownership history that dates back prior to the last century. A family of brothers by the name of Peterson settled in this area of the Sandhills, and proceeded to acquire land via homestead and purchase over the years and their lifetimes. Mule Shoe Bar was one of the ranch names with a brand that went with it. They ended up being some of the largest land owners in this area of the Sandhills joining other names such as Abbott, Black, Hord and Eldred, all of which including the Peterson Brothers, built ranching empires in their own names. Some of the original Peterson ownership is still currently held by their third and fourth generations today. Peterson Brothers stories have been passed down and shared through the generations of Sandhill families. One such story was about the Peterson Hay Trains. During the summer hay season the brothers would team up and share their resources to put up each other s hay meadows for winter feed. Horses, mules, hired men, and horse drawn hay equipment were all brought together to form a large hay crew that worked from the hay train during the summer months. The hay train consisted of several wagons each dedicated to a special purpose to get the hay put up. There could be as many as 5-6 wagons all connected together and pulled by a large team of many mules or horses. The first wagon was generally the straw boss quarters, second wagon, the cook house, third wagon the supply wagon, the fourth and fifth wagons the bunk house wagons and the last wagon the hay supplies wagon. This operation was self-contained with food and supplies for generally several weeks at a time with hay crew, horses, mules and the hay train traveling over thousands of acres putting up hay wherever the Peterson Brothers would want it put up. Spring brandings were also often completed with Peterson ranch shared cowboys. It was a good way to stay social in a day when your only means of transportation was by horseback for the average ranch cowboy working for wages at $25/month or by horse and buggy if you owned the ranch. Broker Comments These are three excellent producing, reputation Sandhill ranches that have only been on the market for a second time in over 100 years. They would not be for sale now if the current ownership did not have opportunities to purchase other land closer to their parent operations.

7 Vegetation Map Mule Shoe Bar Ranches The Sandhills area of Nebraska is the Nation s largest undisturbed native grassland. It covers 13 million acres in 20 counties in the north central part of the State. As the name implies, it is an area of fine, windblown sand which, without the heavy cover of grass, would be an expanse of moving sand dunes. The roots of these grasses can penetrate 3-5, which allow it to thrive on the abundant groundwater. The Sandhills area is recognized as one of the nation s finest for livestock production. The grasses are a vigorous and nutritious species that supported the vast herds of bison in the days before the coming of the settlers. LashleyLand.com
