Custer County Feeders, Inc.

Positioned in the heart of Nebraska’s renowned cattle country, Custer County Feeders, Inc. represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully operational, large-scale commercial cattle feeding enterprise with substantial agricultural production assets. Located just one mile south of Oconto, Nebraska, along Highway 21 in South Central Custer County, this premier offering combines a proven custom cattle-feeding business with highly productive irrigated and dryland farmland, creating a rare opportunity for expansion, investment, or vertical integration in the beef industry. At the center of the operation sits a state-permitted 15,000 head commercial feedyard, strategically developed on 182 acres of naturally rolling terrain that provides outstanding drainage throughout the facility — a critical advantage in maintaining cleaner pens, healthier cattle, improved feeding efficiency, and overall operational performance year-round. Built and improved with functionality and efficiency in mind, the feedyard is exceptionally well-equipped with the infrastructure necessary to maintain immediate operations from day one. Supporting improvements include a newly constructed maintenance shop completed in 2021, a centralized office headquarters, horse barn, fully functional cattle processing and handling facility, extensive feed storage and feed mixing facilities, certified truck scale, and numerous hospital and recovery pens strategically located throughout the yard to allow for efficient livestock management and animal health oversight. Beyond the feedyard itself, the property offers an impressive agricultural land base that complements the feeding enterprise and enhances operational flexibility. Included in the offering are four center pivot irrigation systems covering approximately 273 acres of irrigated farmland, ideal for producing feed inputs or generating additional revenue streams. An additional 164.5 acres of productive dryland cropland and 20 acres of pastureland further strengthen the operational diversity of this offering. Currently operating as a successful commercial custom cattle-feeding operation, Custer County Feeders has been developed into a highly efficient, large-capacity facility capable of serving both independent operators and larger vertically integrated feeding programs. What makes this opportunity particularly attractive is the flexibility it offers prospective buyers. The property is available as a complete turnkey operation or as separate parcels, allowing investors, cattle feeders, agricultural operators, or expanding enterprises to structure an acquisition that aligns with their specific growth strategy. Large-scale, permitted feeding operations with this level of infrastructure, operational capacity, and supporting agricultural assets rarely come to market. Whether you are seeking to expand your feeding capacity, vertically integrate your cattle operation, diversify your agricultural portfolio, or secure a premier income-producing asset in one of the nation’s strongest cattle-producing regions, Custer County Feeders presents a truly exceptional opportunity.
