Description

This exceptional 295± acre irrigated farm and feed yard spans two irrigated parcels. The property includes a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with wrap-around porch, mature landscaping, and a finished basement. Ideal for cattle and hay operations, the farm boasts an 800-head feedlot, ample horse improvements including a pipe roping arena, tack shed, irrigated grass trap, and extensive livestock infrastructure: grain bins, 120’ x 65’ hay shed built in 2023, calving barn, small platform scale and 2,040 sf shop. The feedlot features six pipe pens, an automatic water system, hydraulic chute, cattle scales and semi loadout with easy access from paved Road 24.
The North Farm covers 130 acres, with 119 irrigated acres under pivot and a 15-acre-foot collection pond. Water rights include 109 shares each of Catlin Canal and Larkspur Ditch. Water delivery includes gravity and pump-fed systems. For the past 28 years the farm has produced high quality alfalfa and grass hay mix, averaging three grass hay cuttings a year at about 5 ton/ acre. It produces four alfalfa cuttings a year.

The South Farm also spans 130 acres with 100 irrigated acres under pivot and a 10-acre-foot collection pond. It includes 120 Otero Canal water shares, plus Catlin Canal shares can be transferred from the north farm to the south farm. For the past 28 years the farm has raised alfalfa/grass hay, averaging 3 ton/ acre. The farm was re-seeded to alfalfa in 2024.
This highly functional, well-watered operation offers a rare blend of production, livestock infrastructure, and livability—all just off paved roads in the Swink School District.
