The waterline requires minimal maintenance and has been effectively functional since its installation in 2003.

In addition to the water line, 23 reservoirs are spread throughout the ranch, ensuring that cattle on the Schwenke ranch are well watered in even the driest of years. Fences on the property are well maintained albeit minimal, as natural barriers act as a dividing point at most of the property's boundaries. A well-kept set of improvements make up the ranch headquarters, consisting of a 2,100 square foot, 3-bedroom house built in 1971 with recent interior and exterior updates including new siding and metal roof. A 2-car garage is attached to the house.
