The B&N Ranch: Miles and Miles of Water

The B&N ranch has miles of creeks, running streams, lakes/pits ponds and active wells distributed in every corner of the ranch. Cattle never have to travel to central watering holes or tanks - water is always just feet away. This allows for less stress, better pasture management and a higher head count per acre. There is never any need to haul or pump water at the B&N.

Barnes & Nettels Ranch For The Sportsman - Ranch Timberland And Neighbor Woods.

The B&N is for the Sportsman. Miles of neighboring timber wrap around and through the Ranch offering top fishing and hunting. It would possibly take years for anyone to fish and hunt all the best spots and locations.

Roundup Day!

For 75 years we've been doing it the same way at the The Historic B&N Ranch. The working pens are overbuilt, extremely robust and high capacity. Cattle auctions were regularly held here and the six foot heavy pipe pens and fencing is unique and the highest strength and commercial capacity.

Plum Creek on The B&N Ranch

The B&N sits in the Plum Creek Valley. Plum Creek feeds into Lightining Creek which itself feeds into the Neosho River. The water eventually ends up at Grand Lake of the Cherokees in Oklahoma. The cattle prefer to cool off in Plum Creek because it has a flat, rock bottom.

The B&N Ranch Herd

The B&N Herd cools off in the ponds and Plum Creek. Abundant water in every corner of the Ranch provides for cattle to be well distributed and not have to come to a central watering point. Pastures are managed more efficiently for a higher head count.
