Midwest Land Group is proud to offer the 800 +/- acre Signature Land and Cattle Ranch, home of JDH Wagyu 3,000-head capacity feedlot 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 ranch consists of a total of 800 +/- acres with 725 +/- tillable acres with an overall CSR2 of 78.2. Located 1 mile east of Highway 71 along the West Nodaway River, JDH Wagyu is an operating feedlot positioned as a turn-key business with significant improvements and highly productive cropland. The feedlot includes a newly built office, maintenance, and storage building, two 35'x335' monoslope pen barns, a 3 bedroom 2,995-square-foot home, 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 high-output well that serves as the primary water source for the farm pumping 40 gallons per minute. A public water meter is also on the property. Multiple waterers are spread throughout the cattle pens, barns, and main building. There is a 3rd party manure management program in place where the owner receives income for selling manure and staying in compliance with EPA and DNR regulations.

The tillable land consists of 725 +/- acres of which 677 +/- acres are cropland and 48 +/- acres are pasture land with an overall CSR2 of 78.2. The owner custom-farmed the cropland acres and had an outstanding corn harvest in 2024 with yields of 290 bushels per acre. The West Nodaway River runs through the southern portion of the farm. Multiple access points and road frontage on each tillable field. North of York Road the farm is terraced and tiled with the remainder 300 +/- tillable acres south of York Road containing long runs alongside the River.

Signature Land Cattle Ranch is the perfect balance of cropland and cattle operations with JDH Wagyu 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. This is an outstanding opportunity for an owner to expand or a new operator to jump straight into an exceptional quality farm and turn-key feedlot operation.
