Auction: DeLay Family - Tract 2 - Woodson County, KS - 2

Our company is very honored to represent the DeLay/Sheedy families with the marketing and sale of these two excellent parcels located in Woodson County, Kansas, just west of Yates Center. The most discerning of Buyers will find much to like here, whether their interest is in well cared for Native grass featured on Tract 2 to expand their cattle operation or a premium hunting tract with a beauty found on Tract 1 that would be tough to rival. These properties have been in the DeLay/Sheedy families' hands for decades and this offering presents what may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add quality to your land holdings. Tract 2 is located on Highway 54 approximately 5 miles west of Yates Center, Kansas. This is an enviable tract of Native grass pasture that's been provided excellent stewardship by the tenant. The care is evident from a tour on the ground as well as very obvious from the drone pictures where you can still see the sprayer tracks. The cattle operator will also enjoy the fact that there's not an overabundance of waste from trees, ditches, oil production or erosion. This is a clean and efficient pasture that will put the lbs on their cattle and transition to dollars in their pocket. Livestock water is provided by two ponds with one in both the northern and southern halves, as well as a wet-weather creek that meanders through the eastern portion. Boundary fences on the property are barbed wire that rate from adequate to very good on the north, south and east sides. There is no boundary fence on the west side as the subject tract and the neighboring tract have been rented by the same grazing tenant in recent years. There will need to be new fence constructed along the west boundary to separate this pasture from the neighbors. We will defer to Kansas fencing laws on this matter. The location is also attractive with direct access off Highway 54 and short drives to the scales at Yates Center and multiple livestock markets located at Fredonia, Eureka, El Dorado and Emporia. There's also two well-known Superior Livestock representatives that live within 10 miles of the property that provide additional options. Please call to setup a tour of this gorgeous tract of Native pasture. You'll greatly appreciate its quality and stewardship when considering it for annexing to your cattle operation.
