Cheyenne CR 40
The first 3 miles of County Road 40 south of County Road G is dryland farm ground. There is some nice remnant of shortgrass prairie 2 miles south of the intersection of County Road 40 and County Road C for about 2 miles, then it returns to dryland farm ground. Burrowing Owl, Long-billed Curlew and Grasshopper Sparrow all breed here, but the land ownership is private, so please stay on the roads.
