Both houses are equipped with feed bins, feed delivery and watering systems, curtain ventilation, load-out chutes, and slat floors. The lagoon waste management system includes a pump, irrigation reels, and spray fields, with two additional spray leases in place. A diesel generator, tested weekly, provides backup power to all buildings, and a diesel incinerator is also on-site. Water is supplied by two wells, approximately 200-250 feet and 50 feet deep. And this isn't a situation where you'll need to start shopping for every piece of equipment after closing. Included in the sale are a New Holland tractor with spear and bucket, fuel tanks, air compressor, tool storage, spare parts inventory, PPE storage, and a dedicated medication and supply area. A covered hoop shelter provides protected equipment parking. Beyond the hog houses, the property includes a 1-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence with 6x6 exterior wall construction, a separate office/breakroom/restroom, and multiple outbuildings. The residence offers potential additional use or rental income, subject to applicable approvals. An old railroad bed also crosses a portion of the property. Farm inspections and waste management records are available, including the June 2025 farm and sludge inspection and waste report. Buyers will need to complete Prestage Farms' interview and approval process to continue the contract. For an experienced operator looking to add capacity, this is an opportunity to acquire an established finishing farm with the major infrastructure already in place.
