Eleven plus natural lakes are spread throughout the ranch providing not only a water source for the livestock and wildlife, but scenery uncommon to New Mexico.

Arroyo Seco Draw

This ranch has been operated and improved over the last fifty years by the Stokes family. The blue and side oats grama grass combined with excellent browse and forbes provides an excellent feed source for cattle, horses, and wildlife. Mule deer are abundant, particularly buck mule deer. The ranch layout and management have provided a secure home for these magnificent creatures. The ranch has over one mile of frontage on Kyle Harrison Canyon with beautiful ponderosa pine trees and live creek water during late summer and early fall. Arroyo Seco Draw and the Burro Canyons also offer spectacular scenery and wildlife habitat.

Elevation of the ranch ranges from 5,000 -5,900 ft. above sea level. This, along with the geographic location, creates a great year round climate and environment. The night sky is unmatched anywhere. The absence of pollution and artificial light source provides for spectacular clarity and beauty. Rainfall ranges from 12 to 20 inches per year. Snowfall is generally the same in the winter months. Temperatures are usually five to ten degrees warmer than Ruidoso, NM and ten degrees cooler than Roswell, NM to the east.
