Niobrara River Irrigation & Grass Ranch

The Niobrara River Irrigation & Grass Ranch presents a rare convergence of live water, irrigated production, and native range in Nebraska's premier cattle country. Anchored by two miles of Niobrara River frontage, the crown jewel of Nebraska's river systems, and situated in Cherry County, the top cattle-producing county in the United States, the ranch offers an exceptional platform for year-round livestock production. Four center-pivot irrigation systems covering 675+/- acres support high-volume feed production, while 1,000+/- acres of sub-irrigated meadows add a natural complement to the irrigated base. A comprehensive livestock water distribution system, including an underground pipeline, numerous windmills, and solar-powered wells, ensures reliable water access across the entire operation. Two well-positioned home sites, extensive cedar windbreak shelter belts for winter protection, and on-site grain storage capacity round out the operational picture. Whether the goal is a traditional 800-head, year-round cow-calf program, an intensive summer grazing operation, or any combination thereof, the diversity of this 13,167+/- acre ranch provides a range of management options that few properties in the region or the nation can match.
