At Ava Land and Livestock, we are committed to sustainable cattle farming practices. Our goal is to build partnerships with local farmers and ranchers who are interested in leasing their land, but demand professional land management for their properties, by the Lessee (tenant).
- Hay production, brush hogging, and light dozer work typically included in lease rate (fertilizer and fencing can sometimes be negotiable with longer terms)
- 2-3+ year terms
- Competitive 'per acre' lease rates typically around $50 per acre in Douglas/Ozark County
- Leases strictly for cattle crazing. We do not hunt, ride Atv's, etc. on your land
- Fully insured liability policy for all leased land
- Established, local operator (born in Ava) with proven track record and full time local staff with tractors, brush hogs, sprayers, and dozers that work year round on land maintenance
**Pasture ground only. Must have reasonably tight fencing. We are always looking for parcels (60 acres minimum, up to 600+acres).
Are you thinking about selling your land in the next few years and want someone to help keep it looking nice/productive so you can get as much money as possible when its time to sell? Let us help. We operate a 300 head angus cow/calf operation and maintain some of the best looking farms in the county. We can work together to achieve your goals of earning some extra income on your farm ground while having your land maintained by professionals. In exchange, we are able to run some of Angus cattle on your land.
We are a family oriented business and believe that promises made should be kept. We have full staff and the equipment necessary to work year round conducting land management on all farms (some leased, some owned).
See something you want done differently on your farm or just need a little extra help with a tractor from time to time while leasing to us? No sweat! We are flexible and will do our best to accommodate anything you need while under lease. Family farming tends to come as group effort and we are here to support all of our partners.
