Auction Note
North of Mott in the heart of Hettinger County, North Dakota, this 890.11 +/- acre offering brings together three parcels of productive cropland and highly improved native grazing across a well-established farming and cattle region. The three parcels carry a combined 349.40 +/- FSA cropland acres with a rotation of corn and small grains, backed by strong soil productivity throughout.
A substantial investment has been made into the grazing side of the operation. Updated wells developed water systems, and new cross fencing across all three parcels support an established rotational grazing program, with cell grazing systems ready to run on each tract. For an incoming operator, the return is immediate, with improved stocking capacity and a rotational program ready to manage from day one.
Beaver Creek and the country around Campbell Butte add character to the setting, and the balance of cropland, grazing, and natural creek bottom habitat provides upland bird and deer hunting in this region.

Parcel 1
Parcel 1 sits west of Highway 8 with Campbell Butte anchoring the heart of the grasslands. The pastureland rolls along the base of the butte, while the cropland and CRP acres lay well and relatively flat. The cropland has historically been in corn and small grain production and is backed by an SPI of 67.8. Recent grazing improvements add real working value, with a new well tied to direct power along the western boundary, pipeline water running to a central tank, and new cross fencing that establishes cell grazing pastures. Together these improvements support enhanced grazing management and give producers the ability to rotate livestock through the summer, lifting the effective stocking rate on the tract.
Parcel 2
Parcel 2 carries the strongest soils in the offering, well suited to corn, small grains, sunflowers, and canola production. Terrain rolls gently and drains west toward Beaver Creek, which traverses the western portion of the property and provides seasonal water that feeds a stock dam in the western pasture. Water development on the grazing side is a well-designed system, with a new solar well and holding cistern feeding a stock tank positioned for central access to each of the newly designed rotational grazing cells, giving producers a strong platform for rotational grazing management. The tract has good access along its eastern boundary and lies just one mile off Highway 8.
Parcel 3
Parcel 3 is a grass-forward tract carrying 240 +/- acres of highly productive, well-managed native grazing paired with 75.08 +/- acres of cropland along the southwestern portion of the parcel. Terrain rolls and slopes to the southwest, with the cropland historically in corn and small grains. A new solar well and two livestock tanks anchor an enhanced cell grazing system that immediately increases grazing efficiency. Access is good along the western boundary.
