This auction presents an excellent opportunity to purchase land comprised of predominately high quality native grass pasture with excellent fencing. This land is located in a highly regarded crop-livestock area of eastern Roberts County, SD. This auction presents the opportunity to purchase a desirable parcel of contiguous grassland containing approximately +/-279.50 deeded acres; also presently there is also an adjacent 40 acre parcel of grassland that is leased from the Bureau of Indian Affairs – thus with the combination of the deeded and leased acres, this property has been operated as a +/-319.50 acre grazing unit. This is a well located parcel of land located within ½ mile of Lohre Road and is bordered on the south and east by township gravel roads and is situated within 11 miles of the Summit Exit on I-29 and is uniquely situated between Owl Lake and Hurricane Lake, which affords some hunting opportunities for deer and waterfowl. This is a well-managed tract of unpunished grassland that is cross fenced to accommodate a rotational grazing program implemented by the current owner with three pastures on the +/-279.50 acres of deeded land and a 4th pasture with the adjacent leased 40 acres, thus allowing for best management of the grass and a heightened carrying capacity. Fencing on this property appears to be well above average with the perimeter and cross fencing comprised primarily of a mixture of 4 and 5 barbed wire fencing. The grazing and management implemented has left this pasture with a good stand of grass remaining after the 2019 grazing season and weed control efforts have left this pasture is very good condition for a future owner. This land generally has a rolling to somewhat hilly topography and is primarily comprised of mostly upland native grass, along with some tame grass that is located primarily in the western and northwestern portion of the land. Livestock water is provided by a combination of dugouts, seasonal waterways and Owl Lake that loops into the northwesterly portion of the property.
