Within the reserve, there are 7,381 acres (2,987 hectares) that have been developed into improved tame pasture. The reserve was originally developed for sheep grazing, but the number of cattle grazing over the years has greatly increased. Sheep last grazed the pasture in 1992. The reserve has an active oil field with numerous existing well sites located on the west and east sides of the reserve. New drilling continues to take place.
