Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch

 is an abandoned ranch in the Mojave Wasteland. Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch is one of the most northern locations on the map, located slightly north-west of Horowitz Farmstead.

Layout
The two-story ranch appears unowned. There is a kitchen, a living room, a storage area, and a bedroom. Behind the ranch is a cattle pen, seemingly empty; except for a few tumble weeds drifting idly in the breeze.

The items in the house are considered owned, surprisingly it is owned by the idle tumbleweeds (taking them will result in Karma loss).

Wind-Brahmin Wrangler
Approaching the cattle pen will uncloak a nightkin selling "wind-brahmin", which are the tumbleweeds that are littering the pen. If you ask the charge, he will demand all of your caps. If you agree without asking, he'll give you a Stealth Boy. If you refuse, he'll become hostile. An additional stealth boy can be pickpocketed from the Nightkin, even if the player already received a stealth boy from him beforehand. Further interactions (insinuating that the tumbleweeds are not in fact "doggies") results in the Nightkin becoming hostile towards the player. If a wind-brahmin is purchased, the Nightkin can then be killed to collect the lost caps. Killing the Nightkin does not affect karma. Just in front of the pen is a dead wastelander, who presumably refused the offer or asked too many questions.

Strangely, the Nightkin can somehow tell you've stolen the second Stealth Boy even if you pickpocket it without getting caught. If you move near him again, he will take it back, saying "That's mine, human". A message will appear saying that he has already caught you pickpocketing and you will not be able to steal it back.

Notable loot

 * A Lying, Congressional Style is on the top floor on a shelf beside a Dresser.
 * A Cattle Prod is on the ground in the shelf with the Lying, Congressional Style.
 * A Sunset Sarsaparilla crate to your left as you enter under a tool box contains a small sum of caps (100+).
 * A first aid box on stack of crates to left of entrance and one on the shelves in the kitchen.
 * There is a Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap on the ground in the corner of the room near the Gas cylinder on the first floor (must be stolen).
 * Two Stimpaks can be found pinned against a wall behind the shelves in the room where you find the Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * If you have spoken to the nightkin that is selling the tumbleweeds, and then decide to reload the save, he will not appear. Exiting the game and going to the main menu, or restarting your game will fix this. Though this will lead him to spawning wherever you loaded (maybe on the other side of the map). This may also lead to him reappearing every time you restart. Upon spawning he may become hostile to those around you (leaving you alone) and will start killing them.  This could potentially be used to assassinate people of interest. It is also possible that he might appear later on, as if he followed you, to somewhere random.
 * Fiends can spawn in the area with Pulse Guns, a pleasant surprise for any wastelander who does not want to venture into Vault 34.
 * If you kill the nightkin and come back a few days later, upon entering the pen you will hear the nightkin coming out of Stealth but nothing will appear anywhere.
 * When initiating dialog if you accept the offer without asking how much he will give you the stealth boy without taking any caps.
