You have an Arizona Public Service Electric Company - Wilson Bohannan brand padlock on your back gate? That looks like a gate multiple utilities/tenants have access to.

Bought the property about 10 years ago. I know 1 of the locks is for the rancher to get to his land behind me and the AZ power makes sense (DUH) lol. The others are my locks.
Thanks for the info.

If anyone is interested, here is a video that Wilson Bohannon made when they turned 150 years old in 2010.
