THE PROJECT

Proposed Site: Western Dundy County, northwest of Haigler, Nebraska.

 

Capacity: Current plans are for an initial build-out of a 50,000 head capacity feedlot, with plans to reach 150,000 head over the next 3-5 years.

 

Water: The feedlot has purchased irrigated acres in the local vicinity and retired existing irrigation wells, so that there will be no net difference in ground water depletion.

 

Size: The footprint of the feedlot will be approximately 50% of the footprint of a traditional dirt-floor feedlot of a similar capacity, due to the innovative pen base of Roller-Compacted Concrete.

 

Reduced Nuisance: Roller-Compacted Concrete allows for more hygienic practices in pens, which will diminish the presence of flies, dust, and odor.

 

Jobs: At full-operation, the feedlot is projected to employ about 130 people.
