Property Overview

The main portion of the ranch includes 1,166.61± grass acres divided into four well-planned pastures. Because each pasture is supported by solar wells, water reliability across the ranch is excellent. Three registered livestock wells serve the property, and two feature newer tire tanks that provide long-lasting performance. The remaining tanks are also in good working condition, which reduces maintenance demands throughout the grazing season.

In addition, the ranch includes a 32± acre irrigated tract with 26 certified irrigated acres (NRD). Although the existing side-roll system has not been used recently, it remains in place. Mature trees surround this entire tract, creating an ideal shelter area, load-out space, calving trap, or future headquarters site. This unit also serves as the primary access point into the ranch.

Grazing and Carrying Capacity

Weyers Pastures has traditionally operated as a summer grazing unit. Because of the grass quality and reliable water, the ranch is estimated to support:

• 80 to 100 cow calf pairs

• Approximately 5.5 months of grazing

Interior fences are in very good condition, which allows for effective rotational grazing. Exterior fences remain functional; however, a new owner may choose to improve sections over time.

Soil types across the ranch include Orpha, Jayem, Dunday, Valentine, and Vetal sandy loams and fine sands. These soils are native to the western Nebraska Sandhills breaks transition zone and are well suited for warm season grass production.

Water Resources

Reliable water distribution is one of the strongest features of the property. Four solar wells serve the ranch:

• G-156145: 11 gpm at 100 ft

• G-156146: 8 gpm at 120 ft

• G-160348: 3 gpm at 256 ft

Additionally, the 32-acre irrigated unit includes 26 irrigated acres with Niobrara water rights. Because this tract is fenced and protected by a full tree shelterbelt, it operates as a functional hub for calving, holding, or staging livestock.

Access and Location

Access to Weyers Pastures is outstanding. The ranch is:

• 13 miles south of Hay Springs on Highway 87

• 6 miles along paved 440th Road

• 1 mile on paved 390th Lane

• 1 mile on 448th Trail with a short dirt approach

Consequently, equipment, trailers, and semis can reach the ranch with ease during most seasons.

Hunting and Recreation

The southern half of the property features rugged breaks, timbered draws, and deep canyons. This terrain creates a strong habitat for wildlife. For example, mule deer and whitetail deer are common, and turkey populations are often found in the protected draws. Upland birds also thrive in this region.

Furthermore, the landscape produces stunning views across the breaks. Sunsets in this area highlight the beauty of western Nebraska throughout the year.

The 32± Acre Access Tract

This adjoining tract provides significant operational versatility. Key features include:

• 26 irrigated acres with Niobrara water rights

• A full perimeter of mature trees

• Full perimeter fencing

• A side-roll irrigation system not recently used

• An ideal load-out or calving trap location

• A suitable future site for a home, barn, or headquarters

Because of its shelter and layout, this tract supports both livestock operations and future development possibilities.
