2,200-Sow Hog Operation On 160± Acres in Saline County, MO

Take a look at this established farrow-to-wean hog operation situated on 160.47 assessed acres in the heart of Saline County, Missouri. Operating at full capacity with approximately 2,200 sows and currently contracted with JBS, this property offers an opportunity to acquire an operating agricultural business along with the land, facilities, equipment, residences, and supporting infrastructure needed for continued operation. The operation currently ships approximately 4,200 to 4,400 piglets every four weeks. The hog facilities are approximately 12-year-old Hog Slat buildings. The facility includes 360 farrowing crates, 280 hot nursery spaces, 688 breeding crates, 248 newer breeding crates, and 78 gestation pens. One of the key features of this property is the established workforce already familiar with the operation. There are currently seven employees, and the facility manager has been with the operation for approximately seven years. Current employees have indicated a willingness to continue working for a new owner, subject to mutually agreeable employment arrangements. This existing knowledge and experience could help provide continuity during a transition in ownership. The current owner is also willing to assist with the transition. Water infrastructure has been designed to support the demands of the operation. Three ponds provide a water source for the facility. Water passes through an on-site purification system before being pumped into a large storage tank located beneath the office area. The tank holds approximately 75,000 to 80,000 gallons, providing roughly a three-day reserve based on current usage. The barns utilize a contained manure management system with no exterior runoff or open holding ponds. The complex is powered by electricity and propane and includes approximately 2,800 gallons of propane storage. A 200-horsepower backup generator provides an additional level of security and is capable of supporting the complex during a power interruption. The property is being offered with an extensive list of equipment used in the day-to-day operation. Equipment includes two John Deere tractors, two semi-trucks with tanker trailers, two boar bots, a zero-turn mower, John Deere Gator, Jamesway liquid manure spreader, and numerous additional pieces of farm and facility equipment. A complete equipment list can be provided to qualified prospective buyers. Supporting the operation is a 60' x 60' red-iron shop building. Approximately 20' x 60' of the building is partitioned into office and shop space that is heated and cooled, providing room for management, recordkeeping, maintenance, parts storage, and other daily operational needs. In addition to the livestock facilities, the property includes approximately 110 acres of terraced and tiled tillable ground that is currently rented to a neighboring farmer. Saline County is recognized for productive agricultural soils, and this farm carries an NCCPI rating of approximately 79, with a significant portion consisting of Higginsville silt loam. The cropland provides an additional agricultural component and income source separate from the hog operation. Two residences are also located on the property within walking distance of the hog facilities. One residence is currently rented, while the second is occupied by the facility manager. These homes provide additional flexibility for employee or manager housing as well as potential rental income. A heated and cooled hunting cabin adds another dimension to the property. It provides a comfortable place to spend weekends, gather with family and friends, or enjoy the recreational opportunities associated with owning 160-plus acres in rural Saline County. This property brings together an established 2,200-sow farrow-to-wean operation, JBS contract, experienced workforce, extensive equipment package, backup power, water infrastructure, approximately 110 acres of productive farmland, two residences, shop and office facilities, and a recreational cabin all in one offering. At the current asking price, the property is being marketed at an 8.2% return based on seller-provided operating information for 2024 and 2025. Prospective buyers should independently verify contracts, production figures, income, expenses, permits, equipment, acreage, and projected returns as part of their due diligence. For an existing producer looking to expand or an operator searching for an established livestock facility with the infrastructure already in place, this Saline County property deserves consideration. The combination of an operating livestock business, productive farmland, housing, equipment, and supporting improvements makes this a unique agricultural offering.
