310282 CR U, Bayard, NE 69334 - Scotts Bluff County

TRACT ONE: 850 ACRES +/- Grazing Land in the Valley of the Monuments!

One thing that will never change is the excellent location. The pasture has not been grazed in the 2013 grazing season. This Ranch has basically been unaltered for the past 75 years. The pasture lays on the south side of CR U. The grass land is approximately 845 acres in one pasture. Stocking capacity on a normal year should yield 70 cow/calf pairs for the grazing season with room for improvement! This carrying may be improved greatly with cross fencing and water renovation. An electric submersible well on the northern side of the pasture has been the water source for many years. However, a strategic well exists on the southern portion of the ranch (needs work). There are no Improvements. The pasture consists of Prairie Sand Reed, Needle and Thread, Buffalo Grass, Blackroot and others. The terrain is slightly rolling hills with hard ground and Sandhills mixture.

LOCATED: 1&1/2 miles west of Melbeta, Nebraska on Hwy. 92 then 3/4 mile south on CR 31 to the Northwest corner

TRACT TWO: 55 ACRES +/- Modest Home, Out Buildings, Great Building Site on the Oregon Trail!

The Headquarters of the Ranch lay on the north side of County Road U (Castle Rock Road). There is a modest older 1 Bedroom Home, Detached 2 Car Garage/Shop with Overhead door openers and other out buildings. This Tract has a wonderful view of the Valley or the Ranch! A perfect spot for an acreage. No train tracks to cross and just minutes from town. There are 9 acres of water right under the Castle Rock Canal which runs through the parcel. The well for this parcel is in the pasture land to the south. The original Oregon Trail ruts are very visible on this parcel!

TRACT THREE: 35 ACRES +/- Dry Farm Land or Grass Land. Acreage Potential!

This land is bordered on the north by the Castle Rock Canal and the county road on the west and south. Previously in Alfalfa. Currently the land is primarily habitat for pheasants. This land would also make a great home-site! Elevated and secluded. Only 1/2 mile south of Hwy 92 on CR 31 to the northwest corner. The Hickeys had previously raised Dryland Alfalfa on this parcel.
