The ability to give to the community and provide opportunities for other people to come to the ranch and enjoy it – we do that anyway with hunting, fishing and public access, but it gives us an opportunity to do more of that.” The extra roads are nice, and he says his cattle and the wildlife don’t seem to care about the turbines. Cattle graze underneath the tall towers and follow their shade during the day.
