Osage Fork Farm

Land

The 820± acres of Osage Fork Farm is a diverse mix of fertile river bottom, open pastures, and mature hardwood timber. Rolling hills and flat hay fields provide excellent ground for both agriculture and wildlife, while the multiple ponds, springs, and river frontage add valuable water resources throughout the property.

Incredible Water Access: Over 2 miles of Osage Fork of the Gasconade River frontage, 11 ponds, 3 wells, and multiple year-round springs. Water infrastructure includes five Ritchie 4-hole automatic waterers, a lagoon, and three tire-tank waterers.

High-Production Hay Ground: 125± acres of fertile, well-maintained hay fields produce up to 800 large 4×6 bales annually, averaging 4 bales per acre with up to 3 cuttings per year.

Livestock Ready: Capacity to run 150–175 head of cattle. Continuous pipe panel catch, weaning, and calving lot (300’x100′), multiple pipe corrals with water, and rotational grazing with 25-acre pastures.

Recreation

On the east side of the river, a cozy hunting cabin provides a perfect getaway after a long day of hunting or floating.

Morel mushrooms grow abundantly in the bottomland, adding to the bounty.
