WATER: The farm has 126 acres of water right, of that approximately 25 acres are pre- 1907 water right and the remainder is MRGCD water right. There is a supplemental well that was approved for the farm whenever there is not enough water in the river to irrigate crops. This provides a unique situation guaranteeing your allotted amount of water rather than relying on only the river flow. In addition to the irrigation well, there are two domestic wells that supply water to the feedlot and a large water storage tank, ensuring sufficient water for your stock.
LIVESTOCK OPERATION: The feedlot on the property covers approximately 16 acres. It is comprised of pipe pens and concrete feed bunks. There are also concrete water troughs in the pens. Along with the feed pens, there is a horse barn complete with stalls, runs and waters in the pens.
IMPROVEMENTS: Other improvements include an office at the feedlot. There is a set of livestock scales located next to the office. Other improvements include a double deck loading chute, branding and working facilities, feed storage and liquid storage for the rations needed to feed the stock.
BROKER NOTES: This is a very unique property for the livestock orientated producer. You can grow most of the feed needed for the feedlot to either warm up, grow or finish cattle. It can also be used to grow heifers or keeper bulls in the feedlot and then turn them out on wheat in the winter. If you are a livestock producer, either beef cattle or dairy cattle, this feedlot can fit your program.
