Midwest Land Group is proud to offer JDH Wagyu, a premiere 3,000-capacity feedlot with improvements on 82 acres in southwest Iowa. The family has owned the land through multiple generations since the 1930s. JDH Wagyu cattle breeding began on the farm in the 1990s and is now one of the largest and most prestigious registered Wagyu herds in the United States.

The farm consists of 82 acres offering a 95x90' building completed in 2021 with a concrete floor and finished office space at the farm entrance. Additional improvements include over 35,000 sq. ft. of steel frame covered pens, also built in 2021, a processing barn, commodity sheds, feed hoppers, equipment storage, 28 exterior pens, over 15,000 linear feet of steel pipe fencing, and over 2,800 linear feet of concrete feed bunks. Another significant improvement is the 200+ foot, high-output well that serves as the primary water source for the farm, although a public water meter is also on the property. Multiple waterers are spread throughout the cattle pens, barns, and main building.

The main building, consisting of 8,550 sqft under roof, contains 4,650sqft of fully insulated and heated shop space, a 30x90 attached lean-to for equipment storage, and 1200 sqft of finished office space all under HVAC, including a kitchen, conference room, two offices, a full bathroom, and a large entry and receptionist desk area. The remainder of the building includes a concrete floor shop with three 14 foot overhead doors, a full drive through bay, floor drains throughout, steel construction, and large storage loft above the finished office space.

The processing barn includes all steep pipe attached working chutes, holding, sorting, and crowding pens, mechanical squeeze chutes, and trailer loading areas. Concrete and gravel drive will lead you to access all of the feed pens with adequate space for ingress and egress for a tractor trailer and equipment. The feedlot has DNR and EPA approved run off settling basins.

JDH Wagyu is a turn-key, fully operational feedlot nationally recognized as one of the best in the Wagyu cattle industry. The employees and facilities that have successfully operated this business would be willing to stay in place and continue operating the business if a new owner desires. There is an option to include a contiguous property with a residence for a farm operator or owner at an additional cost. The farm is being offered as a 165-acre tract or an 82-acre tract, each including the feedlot and improvements. The 165-acre farm option offers 86 tillable acres with a CSR2 of 60.2 and is being offered at $2,750,000. An optional 200 +/- Wagyu bulls may be included in the sale at an additional cost. This is an outstanding opportunity for an owner to expand or a new operator to jump straight into an exceptional quality and turn-key feedlot operation. Call Will Wiest for additional information and to schedule a showing of the entire property and improvements.
