What to keep for Reeves County
Whether or not Reeves County asks for a report this year, keep dated proof that you carried out at least three of the seven wildlife management practices in your plan:
- A log of each activity: the date, what you did, where and how much
- Dated photos of the work (feeders, water, brush piles, cleared brush)
- Receipts and invoices for feed, seed, materials and contractors
- Census sheets with dates, routes and numbers seen

Ag valuation in Reeves County
Running cattle, cutting hay or farming instead of managing for wildlife? These are the Reeves County Appraisal District’s published degree-of-intensity standards for the 1-d-1 agricultural valuation.
Reeves CAD: cow-calf operations need at least 8 animal units, usually on not less than 160 acres; stockers need at least 16 calves. Sheep need 8 animal units (40 breeding ewes) and goats 8 animal units (about 48 breeding does). Horse breeding needs at least 3 mares age 3 or older. Carrying capacity is set by soil type, so larger tracts may need more animals.
| Minimum animals | 8 animal units |
|---|---|
| Hay | Hay: minimum field size of 40 acres. |
| Crops and orchards | Cropland: minimum field size of 40 acres. Orchards: at least 20 trees per acre. Vineyards typically 3 acres. |
| Beekeeping | 5–20 acres with 6–12 colonies, per the Reeves CAD beekeeping guidelines. |

An animal unit is one cow (or cow-calf pair); a horse counts as one, and about five goats or sheep make one, though some districts count them differently. See what Texas requires for ag valuation. Your appraisal district has the final say, so call them if anything here doesn’t match your letter.
