IMPROVEMENTS
Tombstone Ranch has undergone extensive upgrades designed to enhance water reliability, operational efficiency, and livestock management. These improvements significantly strengthen the ranch’s long-term productivity and overall management capabilities.
Water Infrastructure Upgrades: Installed two new storage tanks and three additional drinkers, increasing the total number of stock tanks from 10 to 12. These additions improve livestock distribution and overall grazing management.
Solar Well Development: Equipped two previously unused wells with solar pump systems and Grundfos pumps. One well is now tied into the existing pipeline, delivering water from the east side of the ranch to the west and reducing demand on the central well, which now serves only the western pastures. The second solar well supplies the north and central pastures but is not yet connected to the broader pipeline system.
Pipeline Expansion & Sustainability: Added six miles of new HDPE pipeline linking new tanks and drinkers into an integrated network. With this expansion, two strategically located wells can now supply most of the ranch, increasing long-term reliability and drought resilience.
Solar Conversion: Converted two additional wells to solar power, lowering operating costs and improving system dependability. In total, eight wells with shallow groundwater are currently operational and connected to storage, drinkers, and pipelines. One unused well remains available and could easily support its own tank and drinker.
Water summary: There are in total 8 wells in use, 13 storage tanks, 19 drinkers, and 7 dirt tanks.
Fencing Improvements: Built more than three miles of new fence to create a holding pasture with direct access to the working pens and repaired roughly one mile of existing fence in other trap areas.
Working Pen Enhancements: Upgraded the handling facilities with a new drinker, squeeze chute, and additional functional drinkers in the holding pens, improving livestock flow and operational efficiency.
Headquarters: The headquarters is occupied and includes a large workshop, multiple outbuildings, and functional pens.
