Turn-Key Cattle Feed Stockyard Operation - Excellent Investment opportunity with accelerated depreciation and increased cash flow potential.
Operationally ready for a Buyer, this intensive cattle feed site was clearly designed with a comfort and stress reduction purpose in mind to maximize weight gain. The infrastructure of this ranch is exceptionally constructed with a feed alley central to the property supporting 12 production pens and lined with over 3,000 feet of feed bunks. All pens are also lined with over 7,000 feet of custom welded pipe fence and gates along the alley with mostly 6-strand tight barbed wire cross-fencing. Each pen is supplied by a freeze-proof waterer, while pens 1-5 are supported with red iron cattle shade structures with concrete pillar bases to protect the herd from rubbing injury. Pens 1 & 2 are considered high density receiving traps with a 24” rock base to support large heard arrivals. The facilities are second to none and well-planned for maximum efficiency. The receiving and loading dock is designed with an alleyway and working lane to safely load or unload cattle as they are directed to or from the sorting pens. The 8,000 sq ft livestock barn houses an open-air covered working area with a platform scale, hydraulic squeeze chute, sick pen, connected sorting pens, and transition pen. This facility also includes a climate-controlled office/storage area along with a bathroom. Supporting the feed operation is the 8,000 sq ft Commodity Barn consisting of multiple bays, syrup tanks, and covered parking area for equipment along with an approximate 1/2 acre silage pad. The buildings are all red iron structures less than 6 years old. Crafted with maximum efficiency in mind, this backgrounding facility optimally has supported 1,250 head at a time with capacity of up to 1,500. But yet additional capacity expansion possibilities exist on the current acreage. There is plenty of pen space allowing the herd to be rotated for grazing while feeding out nutrient-dense feed specially mixed on-site with the Roto-mix feed truck and syrup spray system while being transferred into the feed bunks.
Finally, located at the entrance of the operation is a 1,100 sq ft ranch hand house for that ranch manager to keep a close eye on the operation. The home (currently undergoing renovation), includes a dedicated well, electric utility, propane tank, and generator. While the exterior has been completed and a new roof added, the interior has been stripped to the studs and is ready to be completely refinished. Overall, this facility is a remarkable investment opportunity.
