Ranchers often work around the clock, especially during irrigation and harvest time. It is possible that adjoining agriculture uses can disturb your peace and quiet. Operations can cause dust, especially during windy and dry weather. Farmers often burn their ditches to keep them clean of debris weeds and other obstructions. This burning creates smoke that you may find objectionable.
Animals can cause objectionable odors.
Ranching is an important business in Grand County. Colorado has an open range law. This means if you do not want cattle, sheep or other livestock on your property, it is your responsibility to fence them out. It is not the responsibility of the rancher to keep his livestock off your property. Owning rural land means knowing how to care for it.
