McDermitt Base Property Available for $20 Million

Lucky 7 Ranch covers approximately 6,700 deeded acres in Oregon and Nevada, with grazing preference the Campbell Allotment. according to the listing.

Most of the private land is on the west side of Highway 95 near McDermitt, NV.

A smaller parcel is at the south end of the allotment and another is at the north end.

The map shows the private acreage with black borders.

The allotment is shaded yellow.

The Allotment Master Report puts it in the Maintain category, with 14,160 active AUMs on 158,957 public acres.

That works out to 89.1 AUMs per year per thousand public acres, equivalent to 7.4 wild horses per thousand public acres.

This brings more distress to the bureaucrats and ranchers, who claim that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres).

The new owner could ask the BLM for a change in livestock type and season of use so wild horses could roam the area, as American Prairie did for bison in Montana.
