Description
PRICE REDUCED! Tucked into the rolling farmland of Guthrie County, Iowa, this meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed cattle facility offers a rare opportunity for livestock producers looking for a turnkey operation. Whether you’re a cow-calf operator seeking a top-tier calving facility or a feeder aiming to run backgrounding or finishing cattle, this farm has the infrastructure and functionality to suit a variety of commercial cattle strategies.
Currently utilized as a breeding and calving site, the property is set up for easy adaptation into fat cattle or backgrounding operations. The centerpiece of this operation is the impressive 1,100 feet of continuous concrete bunk line, designed to maximize feeding efficiency and minimize labor. Of that, 320 feet are housed within a well-ventilated 43’ x 320’ hoop barn, offering shelter and climate protection for both cattle and feed during Iowa’s unpredictable weather. The barn includes eight distinct pens, ideal for managing cattle by age, weight class, or breeding group. The remaining 780 feet of bunk line are distributed across six well-drained outdoor dry lot pens, each equipped with automatic waterers mounted on concrete pads, windbreaks, and shade structures to support animal comfort and health throughout the year.
The support infrastructure on the property has been developed with long-term durability and ease of operation in mind. A 36' x 90' commodity shed provides ample storage for feed ingredients, including distiller's grain, silage, hay, and other supplements. The structure is designed for convenient front-end loader access, allowing operators to mix and distribute feed efficiently. Adjacent to the feed shed is a 32' x 76' utility building that offers multi-use functionality for equipment storage, parts inventory, or maintenance work. This clean, well-lit building adds vital flexibility to the day-to-day operations of the farm. For business operations, record-keeping, and crew management, the property includes a comfortable and functional 24’ x 30’ office space complete with a kitchenette. Whether you’re hosting nutritionists, veterinarians, or business partners, this space provides a professional setting for meetings and daily tasks.
Water management is key in any cattle enterprise, and this property is fully outfitted with reliable water systems in all pens, ensuring cattle always have access to clean, fresh water. Concrete pads around each waterer prevent mud buildup and provide safe footing for livestock, especially during freeze-thaw conditions common in the Midwest. Animal flow and facility access have also been carefully thought out. Wide lanes and gates allow for safe and efficient sorting, loading, and movement of cattle between pens, reducing stress on both livestock and handlers.
The layout supports one-person handling capabilities and enables a streamlined workflow for daily chores, treatments, or loading out groups of cattle for market. With excellent county road access and close proximity to major grain elevators and livestock markets, the location further enhances the value and versatility of this operation.
Whether you're looking to expand your current herd or step into the cattle industry with a ready-to-go site, this facility offers a high return on infrastructure with minimal start-up investment needed. This property is offered for sale due to the owner’s retirement, marking a unique opportunity to acquire a fully operational and proven cattle site that’s ready to be put to work on day one. Properties of this scale and quality rarely come to market in Western Iowa, making it an ideal acquisition for progressive cattle producers or investors seeking reliable agricultural infrastructure.
