Missouri's Premier Grazing Dairy

Welcome to one of the most exceptional agricultural offerings in the Midwest—Missouri’s Premier Grazing Dairy, a rare opportunity to own a large-scale, fully operational dairy farm specializing in pastoral grazing using the latest research from New Zealand and the United States.

Spanning an impressive 2,132 +/- acres, this turn-key operation is thoughtfully designed with a fully fenced and cross-fenced layout that supports an advanced and highly efficient pasture-based grazing system. The property features a beautiful balance of lush pasture and productive tillable ground, enhanced by 8 center pivot irrigators that ensure consistent forage production and optimal land utilization. Effluent is spread via a travelling irrigator to the land from in-ground lagoons. All forage (consisting of hay, grass silage, and corn silage) is grown inside the business, meaning the margin over milk is excellent.

Infrastructure throughout the farm is highlighted by four well-equipped milking parlors and an extensive, established watering system with strategically placed waterers to support rotational grazing. The operation is capable of producing approximately 150,000 +/- CWT of milk each year from cows specifically bred for their ability to be fertile, walk to and harvest pasture. The milk produced is non-GMO, pasture-fed, A2, and animal welfare certified—positioning this dairy at the forefront of premium milk production. All certifications and policies will be made available to qualified buyers.

The cows are pastured outside 24 hours a day/365 days of the year. The milk they produce is sought after by commercial milk brands that sell into retailers such as Whole Foods. In 2025, the payments received over the DFA were greater than $9.50/CWT. The herd is predominantly Jersey breed, which means the payments from DFA also have high solids and payments for fat over basis and class III payments. In total, the average payment for milk for the business in the 2025 calendar year was $29.50/CWT.

For investors or operators seeking flexibility, the offering would include milk contracts and an option to purchase cattle and rolling stock separate from the real estate. A sale-leaseback option for up to two years could also be an option, allowing for a seamless transition and continued income potential. Financials are available to view, and the ROI is currently estimated at around 3% to 3.5% based on current figures. Should buyers not wish to continue the dairy enterprise, the land only is also available for purchase.

This is more than just a farm—it’s a legacy-caliber dairy operation offering scale, efficiency, and premium production in one remarkable package. Call land agent Kellen Bounous today to schedule your showing!
