Check Farm lies 23 miles north of Riverton Wyoming in a private valley south

quality
alfalfa with consistent yields and as a mild wintering area for livestock.

COMMENTS:
This
is a property that would work well as a winter unit or a commercial hay
operation. It lies in a protected valley bordered by sandstone cliffs and
fronted by beautiful views of the Owl Creek Mountains. The production in
this area is reputed to be some of the best in Wyoming for alfalfa hay which
thrives on the sandy soil and plentiful water. There is school bus service
to the door and best of all a great community of rural businesses and good
neighbors.
