Eslabon Properties is a company formed specifically for brokering commercial livestock facilities and is a partnership between Eslabon Capital, LP, a feedyard management consulting company owned by Richard Bretz, and George Clift Enterprises, Inc., owned by George Clift, the largest land broker in the Texas Panhandle.

Eslabon Properties primarily deals in the buying, selling, or leasing of commercial cattle feeding properties and has expanded into merchandising dairies, dairy heifer growing facilities, feedmills, ethanol plants, packing plants, and hog confinement facilities throughout the High Plains, Central, and Midwestern United States. The company is currently working on projects in several states either independently or in cooperation with local real estate professionals and, to the best of our knowledge, Eslabon Properties currently has the largest number of commercial feedyard listings in the U.S.

When merchandising a commercial feedyard or other business, the sellers usually have a great concern about the confidentiality of the transaction.  The concern is well founded and comes from the risk of losing the best employees and best customers if it becomes public knowledge that the business is for sale.  At Eslabon Properties, we work to maintain the confidentiality using confidentiality agreements and only discussing the potential sale with qualified buyers with a real interest.  It is impossible to sell a feedyard or other business without talking to potential buyers and lenders, and the confidentiality can be compromised at some point.  But, we work to be certain that Eslabon Properties has done the utmost to maintain the confidentiality throughout the process.

The name Eslabon is the spanish word for "link in a chain". A link in a chain describes how we see ourselves in a typical transaction involving a commercial livestock production facility or other property.  It is our job to fully explore the property for sale, help evaluate the market value of the property, help the owner decide if a confidential or public approach is most viable, sort through potential buyers, and then link the most likely one or two buyers with the seller.  We pride ourselves in doing our research first and then showing most facilities only once or twice before a transaction takes place.
