| Vegetation: |
Grasses on Bruton Ranch are very palatable and are noted for their strength. There are a large variety of grasses due to the varied soil types. This is ideal in that both cool and warm season grasses are well represented, providing green feed over a longer time period. Some of the most common grasses are blue grama, side oats grama, six weeks grama, buffalo grass, red top (salt grass), vine mesquite grass, drop seeds, and bluestems. Chamisa, winter fat, Apache plume and fringed sage provide browse that is utilized heavy in winter months and in dry times. In fact, this abundance of chamisa provides Bruton Ranch livestock a high protein diet when other ranches are supplemental feeding expensive protein blocks or cubes. Pinon and juniper trees are found in the foothills on the southern portion of the ranch. Just off Bruton Ranch ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, spruce, and aspen trees are found in the mountains that surround the San Augustine Plains. |

World-class pronghorn antelope are found on Bruton ranch and neighboring ranches. The Bruton Ranch receives 3 annual permits from the New Mexico Game Department to hunt antelope that can be used by the ranch owners or sold. These permits are in high demand and area guides will readily pay $3,500 each for them. The caliber of antelope on the ranch is apparent; since antelope permits in other parts of New Mexico sell for $300 to $500. Elk and mule deer are also present on the ranch.
