Broken O Ranch!
Broken O Ranch!
A rare, turnkey opportunity to own one of the largest beef cattle operations in the country in one of the earth's most beautiful settings! For the last 20 years, William and Desiree Moore, founders of the Kelly-Moore Paint Company, have been systematically acquiring and leasing land, now culminating in nearly 124,000 acres of grazing pasture and tillable fields used to produce cash crops and winter feed crops. An important standout feature is that 20 miles of the Sun River flow through the center of the ranch, making it possible to irrigate 13,000 acres - the largest block of irrigated land in Montana!
Included is the well-planned cattle operation with 3,500 brood cows, 800 replacement heifers and 175 range bulls, effectively producing 3,500 marketable head a year. Alfalfa hay production is approximately 25,000 tons a year and small grain production is in the neighborhood of 700,000 bushels.
The sale also includes a 10,000sf main house, approximately 25 other homes/buildings as well as all machinery and equipment. Geared for a seamless transfer of ownership, the new buyer should have little to do but enjoy exploring and learning the operation and taking the time to enjoy the vast recreational features of the property. Hunting and fishing opportunities abound with brown and rainbow trout fishing, large amounts of game birds, waterfowl and a large population of antelope, whitetail and mule deer.
When the stock market gets you down and the downturn in the world economy starts to nibble at your investments, never forget that land isn't manufactured and people will always have to eat! The Broken O Ranch is the real deal! Priced at $132.5m.
