Sand Canyon Ranch-Tract 3

Description

Sand Canyon Ranch consists of 3,529.69± deeded acres west of the Mirage Flats, south of Hay Springs, Nebraska. This working cattle ranch sustains a year-round cow/calf operation, with feedlot pens to background 950 head of cattle. The 513.19± irrigated acres consist of three center pivots, offering a great opportunity to produce ample forage for cattle year-round on the ranch. Established shelter belts on both sides of the main headquarters, make this a great setup for calving.

A well-maintained gravel road leads to the ranch headquarters. The road splits the two main pivots, with a stackyard as well as a silage yard, both are individually fenced, sitting west of the ranch headquarters.

Sitting on good hard grass, the owner rates the carrying capacity at 300 head of cow/calf pairs year-round, with wetter years offering a higher carrying capacity. Along with the native pastures, the current owners have used the three center pivots for forage crops over the last seven years providing winter forage. The ranch is well-watered throughout all pastures with seven tanks on pipelines and wells with submersible pumps. Cross-fencing is in excellent shape with the majority of it new four-wire barbed wire.
