Integrated dryland forage and stocker operation on the Texas South Plains — 400 head, 10,000 acres, combining hay production income with stocker gains.
The Llano Estacado fund combines two income streams on a 10,000-acre dryland operation south of Lubbock, Texas: native grass hay production sold to neighboring feedlots, and a 400-head stocker program that grazes standing forage between cutting windows.
The dual-income structure reduces single-commodity risk. Hay offtake is contracted at fixed price with a regional feedlot for three years, providing a predictable base revenue floor.
Investors participate in both the hay margin and the stocker gain, receiving a blended return paid at the 20-month term.
Hay yields depend on rainfall. Stocker gains may be affected by drought, market conditions, and disease. Offtake contracts are subject to counterparty performance.
