All concrete bunks are utilized for feed efficiency and low waste. There are three homes on the property with several additional support buildings including a large equipment shop and two Quonset buildings. The main building features 3 offices a kitchen, scale house and large truck scales. There are two cattle load out locations with lights for shipping and receiving cattle.
