Buffalo County 522.9 Acre Feedlot, Farm & Pasture

522.9± Acres | 3,000 Head Permitted Feedlot | Irrigated Ground | Pasture

Located just south of Litchfield, Nebraska, this is a turnkey cattle feeding operation with the ability to background, finish, and support your herd with both feed and grass.

The property features a DEQ-permitted 3,000 head feedlot with a clean, efficient layout. The yard includes 17 well-designed pens, hospital pens, and solid working and loading facilities that allow cattle to move smoothly through processing and shipment. This is a functional yard—not overbuilt, not outdated—just set up to work.

Feed infrastructure is in place with a roller mill, bulk bin, and adequate feed storage, giving an operator the ability to manage rations on-site.

Water is not a concern here. The feedlot is serviced by two electric wells tied together for redundancy, keeping water in front of cattle at all times.

Supporting the feedyard are 119.1± acres under two center pivots, both powered by diesel units, along with two irrigation wells. Whether you're raising your own feed or offsetting costs, the irrigated acres add real value and flexibility. The farm is located in the Lower Loup NRD and per their records has 119.16 certified irrigated acres.

The balance of the property includes 366± acres of well-maintained pasture, complete with good perimeter and cross fencing, along with 5 stock tanks fed by underground pipeline. It’s a clean grazing setup that allows for rotational grazing and proper pasture management.

The building site includes a 3-bedroom home, office building, and a 50’ x 75’ steel shop, providing everything needed to run the operation day-to-day.
