Heaven's Farm and Ranch: Sioux County Irrigated Grazing

It is not often that a 2,279± acre contiguous ranch in Sioux County, Nebraska is offered for sale. Distinguished by a forage-driven cattle operation built around dependable irrigation, Heaven's Farm and Ranch is a large, contiguous ranch located 15 miles north of Scotts Bluff over the Ogallala Aquifer. It is anchored by highly productive irrigated forage acres, creating a self-sustaining system that supports consistent, efficient cattle production year after year.

At the heart of the operation are six (6) center pivot irrigation systems irrigating 1,023+/- acres, all dedicated to irrigated forage production. These pivot-irrigated acres form the backbone of the ranch, providing a reliable feed base for hay, silage, or supplemental forage that significantly reduces outside feed dependency. This irrigation infrastructure allows the ranch to maintain a high carrying capacity through varying weather conditions while offering flexibility in stocking rates and grazing management. Traditionally, the ranch has been used as an intensive grazing operation for 2,000 head of yearling for up to 90 days in the fall. At a rental rate of $1.65 per head per day, generating an income in excess of $270,000.00 in those 90 days. As you can see, this has been a very profitable operation for the last few years.

Complementing the irrigated forage base are approximately 1,255+/- acres of quality pasture and continuous fencing working corrals, providing additional grazing, seasonal movement, ease of sorting, loading, and unloading, and long-term sustainability. The pasture acres and working facility complement the irrigated forage program, creating a balanced system ideal for cow-calf, backgrounding, or expanded livestock operations.

In addition to the irrigation and the grassland, there is also a quarry located in the center of the ranch that provides additional income through a lease with the county. This quarry has provided an additional $15,000.00 of yearly income and could be increased with additional county contracts.

The scale and layout of this ranch allow for efficient cattle handling, rotational grazing, and future operational enhancements. With water, forage, and pasture working together, the property delivers both production strength and long-term land value.

This Sioux County offering represents a true investment-caliber ranch-well suited for serious cattlemen, multi-generation ranch ownership, or investors seeking a legacy agricultural asset built on irrigation, forage, and operational reliability in western Nebraska.
