There are many reasons that so many buyers are actively seeking Central Oregon land and acreage for sale. One of only five states with no sales tax, Oregon has a highly diverse agricultural industry. Oregon ranches and farms produce more than 250 commodities, from wheat and cattle to grasses and grass seed, a variety of berries including grapes, many types of vegetables, and of course, Christmas trees. Central Oregon ranches and farms tend to use conservation-minded ranching practices, and a fair share are engaged in sustainable agriculture. Many Central Oregon ranches for sale are family owned operations. Cattle ranches often require additional grazing leases of BLM lands (Bureau of Land Management) since a good portion of Oregon land is owned by the federal government and managed by this department.
Oregon's wild horses have found protection on certain Oregon ranches that have devoted their efforts to becoming wild horse sanctuaries. The Kiger Mustang which is now actually an established breed, was originally discovered in a remote area of Beatty's Butte in southeast Oregon, and such herds can now be found throughout Oregon. A Kiger Mustang was used as the model for the animated feature film, Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron from Dream Works Pictures.
