Infrastructure and Capacity

 The First Street Pasture is a 426 acre pasture located at 36-10-19 W. The site is on the eastern edge of the City of Brandon, sharing its southern border with the Assiniboine Community College north hill campus, its eastern border with Brandon’s 1st Street, and its north border with Highway #1. The 400 acre pasture is surrounded by a five wire barbed perimeter fence and cross-fenced with one-strand electric fence into 10 smaller paddocks for rotational grazing. There are also 26 acres of hay land used for winter feed. A summer watering system, fed by an onsite well, provides summer water to each paddock. This well also supplies year-round water to a Petersen winter watering bowl in the south end of the pasture. The site contains cattle holding pens and a portable handling facility with a chute, crowding tub, and scale.
