The sprawling property offers 7,276+/- total acres and a 41,000-head commercial feedyard located on the northern High Plains of Texas. The feedyard is situated in close proximity to several major beef packers and feed grains are readily accessible. The farm’s acreage includes 41 irrigated circles designed for outside rotational grazing.
Dallam County is a large but sparsely-populated rural county located close to the point where the Texas panhandle converges with the Oklahoma panhandle and the northeastern corner of New Mexico. The High Plains area is an important agricultural region for the entire state, ranking among the top ten counties in terms of beef production and top three for hogs and pig farming. The combined agricultural output of all 26 counties within the Texas High Plains Trade Area would place it among the top producers in the nation for beef and various crops if they were a state.
