BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Large-scale Alfalfa, Timothy and Triticale Farm

The Broken Fence is a high-end turnkey operation with 2+ full-time employees. Of the roughly 3,400 tons of hay produced in 2024 over 85% would be considered within the ‘premium/high end’ quality range. This high-elevation farm specializes in producing horse hay of extremely high quality including; Alfalfa Hay, Triticale, and Timothy. The 650+ acres currently in production are professionally managed with annual yields (regardless of the crop) between 5-6 tons per acre. Since day one the current owner has been improving the outputs while also reducing the inputs through excellent water management, employing microbiology, and creating custom systems for the acreage. The results have been nothing short of special with the forage testing for all 3 of the farm products landing in the ‘high’ quality category for Dry Matter, Crude Protein, ADF, NDF, TDN, and feed value.

The hay produced at the Broken Fence is primarily sold to high-end horse breeders/owners and is also used as feed for several champion rodeo horses. This is the hay fed to some of the best equine athletes in the world. If you have been around horses enough, you know the importance of good clean, soft, and leafy hay. The current owners of the Broken Fence have made great efforts to keep their products to the highest quality standards by utilizing Staheli West steamers, covered hay barns, and keeping the soil healthy so that less fertilizer and pest control products are needed. You can rest assured the products from this farm are top-notch and will deliver the nutrients needed to keep your high-performance horses at their best.

If you are looking for a quality farm with room to expand, the 958 acres being offered here are some of the best Utah has to offer in one contiguous parcel.

Facilities
3400-square-foot 5 bedroom 3.5+ bathroom home which was built in 2018. Enclosed hay barns sized at roughly 25,000 & 10,000 ft2. A 2,700 ft2 heated shop and 3,600 ft2 of covered parking along with multiple outbuildings. Over 70 pieces of equipment including tractors, trucks, balers, steamers and everything needed to continue production. 1506.99 irrigation shares as well as 200 ELUs and 3.2 homes of underground water rights are included resulting in the ability to water approximately 28 days each month during the season.
Competition
The market is very strong for the high-end equine hay produced by this operation with new clients recently being signed and most of the farm's sales going to repeat buyers. There is ample room for expansion. The small percentage of output that doesn't meet the high standards of the equine buyers can be sold to cattle operations through Utah and the larger mountain west area.
Growth & Expansion
Enough water and ground is available to expand the 650+ acres currently in production by another 35 or more acres. New farming techniques are currently being implemented to increase the outputs of the acreage in production and a cattle feedlot operation could be added on the existing location to diversify the outputs of the farm.
Support & Training
The farm is professionally managed and employee/website transfer can be discussed. This operation is setup for an absentee owner.
