Four S Ranch is rugged hunting land, rich in tales of Comanches, coal, and cattle. This land has been managed to allow wildlife to thrive while also producing livestock with ease. Needed fires, from almost a decade ago, have cleaned up the prickly pear and provided a resurgence of native grass. The central portion of this acreage contains mature tree cover and ample browse for the abundant white-tail in the area. Walnut Creek meanders through the eastern section with towering oaks and elms scattered along the banks creating ideal turkey roosts. Walnut Creek is a part-limestone bottomed creek that runs seasonally with multiple holes of water; as well as a backed-up portion near the barns allowing just enough water for perch poppin'. The "Family Pond" in the back acreage is stocked with perch and largemouth bass to provide added fishing fun. Several ponds and small tanks have been created throughout the ranch to provide a multitude of water sources allowing the animals to stay on the property during the hot summer months instead of roaming elsewhere for water. Most of this ranch has been fenced and cross-fenced over the past decade. These fences were built to last a lifetime with close T-posts, enough wires for calves or sheep, and cedar staves to add durability. Proper thought was put into the "Wildlife Crossings" to allow deer, hogs and other game to pass through the fencing without damaging or dragging the wires down. Four S Ranch has been set up to run cattle efficiently while allowing the wildlife to roam.
