When Return on Investment = Return on Life

Re-imagining 1031 Exchanges

In the words of Yogi Berra… “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll get there every time.” As 77 million baby boomers brace for retirement, the road to financial security is paved with uncertainty. For most active landlords and property owners, the question looms large of how to reposition highly-appreciated real estate into sustainable streams of passive monthly income. Most investment real estate owners have worked a lifetime for Return on Investment. However, at this stage of life, the goal is to transform self-managed property into versatile lifestyle income that can be used for “living or giving.” We

call this “Return on Life.”

According to the USDA Farms and Land Summary Report dated February 2022, there are more than 2,000 private farms and ranches in the U.S. representing over 1 billion acres and an estimated value of nearly $3 Trillion. In light of changing business models and aging demographics, we believe that property owners are focused on profitable exit

strategies. In making a hold versus sell decision, one fact remains the same. You’ve worked a lifetime to accumulate wealth, now the goal is to keep it. Simply stated, the objective of most investors is to Preserve Capital and Protect Cash Flow.

Under IRS 1031 exchange rules, investment property sellers can defer capital gain taxes provided they reinvest proceeds into another investment property or properties. For most investors, a 1031 exchange starts with tax deferral. After all, taxes represent a permanent loss of capital as well as reduced earning power. However, as financial history demonstrates, we believe it is far more important to focus on investment fundamentals than tax advantages. All real estate is not created equal. Investors should remember that a 1031 exchange is an investment strategy first…and a tax strategy second.

One of the fastest growing segments of the broader 1031 exchange market is the alternative

Delaware Statutory Trust or “DST” for short.1 The DST is a real estate trust that allows individual property investors to acquire beneficial ownership in one or more highquality, income-producing properties, with professional third-party management. Much like “Legos,” individual DST property interests can be combined to create highly diversfied and personalized income & growth portfolios that match each investor’s specific risk tolerance and investment objectives.

DSTs can be offered as either all-cash investments, or partially leveraged investments with no personal recourse debt. Existing and available properties represent most major asset classes and diverse investment strategies, including: Class “A” multifamily residential communities, industrial properties, diversified healthcare assets, selfstorage facilities, and demand driven essential properties backed by long term leases, credit-worthy tenants, and proven business formats. Depending on investment amount and personal preference, Petra can allocate to each of these asset classes for customized portfolio construction and optimized risk management.

investors.

While there is always risk to real estate investing, DSTs are offered as securitized real estate that must pass through multiple levels of due diligence and underwriting before being offered to qualified

325± ACRES // TEXAS HILL COUNTRY // KERR COUNTY

In a cherished area deep in the Texas Hill Country—where some of the North Fork headwaters of the Guadalupe River originate—extends an extraordinary opportunity to own both sides of the river and an income producing property. Known as “The Flats” to the locals, an extensive limestone shelf makes up the river bottom for an impressive stretch and connects to a grand lake near the edge of the property. The property is complete with a paved walkway to a Texas-shaped outdoor patio, rock-walls on the riverbanks, and so much more. As scenic and alive as a river property could be, the land includes cliff sides, fern-laden springs, caves, distant views, and enhanced park-like, riverside settings. A small portion of the property extends into Guadalupe Ranch Estates granting you access to two more private river parks with more flats and deep swimming holes. The craftsmanship of the Main Lodge is unparalleled. The historic charm of the Sunday House attracts the most sophisticated of vacationers, not to mention the amenities and riverfront recreation area. In fact, the compound off FM 1340 is currently a very successful short-term rental. With the ability to sleep at least 28 guests a night, the space is accommodating for a variety of events and occasions. The bulk of the ranch located on the south side of the Guadalupe River carries an agricultural valuation, no known restrictions, highquality high-fence, and is home to many select exotics like red stag, fallow, axis, and highly improved whitetail genetics. There are also a few impressive longhorns as well as donkeys intended to convey with the property. There is a separate headquarters on the south portion of the ranch with two outstanding country cabins, a shop with walk-in cooler and cleaning station, and a remarkable outdoor entertaining area on the most picturesque of settings with distant views. The abundance of noticeable and hidden land, water, and improvement details are ready to be explored but most certainly need to be seen in person to appreciate. Call today to set up your private showing.

A father & son team re-vamps their ranch business to increase profit, without buying more land.

Photos & Story by Melissa Hemken

Through five generations, the BarWD Ranch of Wellfleet, Nebraska has seen cattle markets and weather patterns shift. Recently, the BarWD met a new, yet ageold, challenge: to increase profit for the next generation to join the ranch business. Bill Korinek and Ryan Korinek, the father and son duo of BarWD, meet this by evaluating management, researching new ranch practices, and collecting data. To increase profit, the Korineks implemented a moderate intensive grazing rotation to double their cow herd on their existing footprint of land. Realizing that other ranch practices lacked fiscally minded strategy, they began to weigh every management decision by its potential savings and profitability.

Waving at the corrals, barns, and house, Bill Korinek says, “I bought it in 1988. I came out here in the summertime as a kid to help my uncle. It was my dream to ranch. I still have the toy barn in which I’d set up my toy horses. I watched all of the Western shows. Then, one day, I own a ranch, some cows, and a few horses. And, now, [my son] Ryan got out of the [US] Navy SEALs, invested in the ranch, and joined me.”

Back in 2013, when a drought hit southwestern Nebraska, Bill had invested in 10,000 feet of underground water lines from a well and installed two center pivots and a linear. “When I put this all in,” Bill recalls, “I thought would be a big hay raiser guy. Grow a bunch of hay and sell it.” Bill saw a linear in action at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Research, Extension and Education Center near North Platte.

He realized the linear design would suit the ranch’s long, skinny meadows. The linear sprinkler has a guidance system that it follows. It links to a buried water line via a ¼-mile flexible water hose that it pulls within a set range. “I flip the wheels around on the linear,” Bill explains, “and tow it over the next canyon. It follows its track around curves.”

To expand their ranch business without purchasing more land, the Korineks quit haying, sold their haying equipment, and now graze cattle on the irrigated meadows. The Korineks doubled their cattle herd through intensively grazing them on what

Bill describes as a “moderate” rotation. To add fiber and protein to the alfalfa stand, Bill drilled orchard grass, Garrison foxtail, wheatgrass, and sudangrass into the former hay ground.

“When people eat at a buffet,” Bill says, “they pick out what they want to eat. Cows are the same way. You set them out in the pasture at the same time of year, and they leave at the same time. What do they do? They choice select what to eat. That impacts plant diversity.”

The intensive grazing rotation is designed to encourage the cattle to eat all plants. “It’s amazing what they’ll eat on a rotation,” Bill says. “They eat marijuana. They eat mare’s tail. They eat ragweed. Weeds contain higher protein than the native grasses. Ragweed is 39% protein. We should just grow ragweed! With the cattle eating all the plants, the herbicide bill has shrunk.”

With grazing the former hay meadows, and extending their grazing season into the winter, the Korineks only purchase hay for emergency winter feed. “The thing is,” Bill says, “I can tell the driver to drop the hay in a certain spot. I don’t have to do any of the work or maintain the equipment. This allows us to spend more time checking on the cows and other things that we enjoy doing better than haying.”

As Bill and Ryan modified their ranch management, they crunched numbers to locate financial savings and predict added income. For instance, they know the exact price per ton of hay for them to break even on purchasing it instead of raising it themselves. Ryan also tests other new management methods and has implemented his own grantfunded research project.

RESEARCH BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION

The Korineks move through the generational transition by acknowledging tradition while thoughtfully considering management strategies and implementing what suites their operation and landscape. Another aspect of their re-vamped management is to rotational graze, over the winter, the Loess Canyons adjacent to their irrigated meadows.

Ryan researched rotational paddock systems and settled on the “wagon wheel” design as most appropriate for the water resources. Due to the difficulty of building fences in the terrain, he has been unable to locate other ranchers that implement rotational grazing in the rough breaks of southwestern Nebraska for local system models. “People don’t want to challenge the canyons,” Ryan says. “It’s a lot of work to fence, and, initially, it takes planning to figure out where, how, and when to move the cattle.”

As Ryan planned rotational grazing, he was still in the Navy, it was the year 2020 in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, and he sat at home in Virginia Beach, Virginia doing schoolwork and unable to report into work. He reviewed several Western SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research Education) projects to learn about grazing strategies. For financial help for his own grazing plan, Ryan applied and received a Western SARE grant to fund the development of fencing to match the rough landscape of his family ranch.

“The grant funding pays for the fencing infrastructure needed to implement our rotational grazing plan in the canyons,” Ryan explains. “What’s needed is an inexpensive and easy to install fencing system.” The BarWD’s SARE 2-year grant extends through the end of 2022. Ryan says having two years will provide the time to test multiple fencing systems to see what works.

In 2021, the Korineks set up solar-powered fence energizers and built 13 miles of high-tensile electric fencing with fiberglass posts. In the laneways, where cattle are moved between pastures, there is a 3-wire fence. Everywhere else, it is a single wire. The Korineks recommend electric fence switches to enable turning off segments of fencing for repair, or because there are no cattle against it. Also, because they work cattle on horseback, gates located in strategic access points are really helpful. Horses do not like to step over a hot wire on the ground.

A year into rotationally grazing the canyons, and a few years of managing the irrigated meadows in such a manner, has already proved beneficial. The Loess Canyon pastures were infested with yucca plants. The Korineks discovered that cattle love to eat yucca in the winter.

“Cattle roll the yucca over and eat the roots when the plants are dormant,” Bill says. “It’s amazing. When you’ve got control of how your cattle graze, they graze well. It’s beautiful, the way the grass has come in.” The increased plant diversity has attracted more deer and turkeys. This, in turn, has caught the attention of the hunters that the BarWD hosts to diversify its business revenue sources.

THE AGE-OLD, CHALLENGE: TO INCREASE PROFIT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION TO JOIN THE RANCH BUSINESS.

CHANGES FOR HEALTH AND PROFIT

There are many side benefits to rotational grazing. The Korineks have found that, because their cattle are at a higher density in a smaller area, they can treat quickly illness. Previously, the BarWD cattle were highly infected by pinkeye. The Korineks now vaccinate all of their mother cows for pinkeye. Ryan also built, from Internet plans, a mineral feeder with fly control elements. For the mineral mix, he tested forage to compile their own mineral according to the exact nutritional deficits of the BarWD pastures.

“The commercial mixes don’t account for the minerals that are present in your pasture,” Ryan explains. “I tested our forage every month one year. From the results of the monthly tests, I averaged out what the mix needed to supplement the forage each season.”

Ryan found there was plenty of Vitamin A in the warm season forage, so he leaves it out of the mix during that period. In the winter, Ryan adds Vitamin A. He leaves out phosphorus, normally a deficit in winter forage, because the Korineks feed a winter supplement of dry, pelleted distillers’ grain that is high in phosphorus. By mixing their own mineral, the Korineks now pay a third of the price per ton of a commercial mix.

The forage tests also inform the pounds per day of the distiller supplement. The Korineks modified a ranch pickup with a flatbed to carry a cake feeder on a scale. This enables them to weigh the pelleted distillers’ grains, and ramp up the poundage as the cows enter their late terms of pregnancy. “We pay extra for the pelleted distillers,” Bill says, “because it lays down nice onto the ground. The non-pelleted is powder. When I tried it the wind came up, and it blew around like the Mojave Desert! I figure buying the distillers in bulk offsets the extra cost of the pelleted. When it’s bagged, you pay a dollar per bag. Then, you just burn all of those bags.”

RANCHING HAS TIGHT MARGINS

BarWD Ranch management strategies are measured by the savings and profit attached. The Korineks bought more cows to expand their herd and now begin the process of selecting replacement heifers. “We focus on fertility right now,” Bill says. “Did she conceive, and ultimately calve, in the first 21 days? We’ll select heifers depending on their date of birth. If a cow had a first-cycle birth, she definitely will stay in the herd.”

“We really look at the data,” Ryan explains. “The next thing for us is to get carcass data. Typically, we’ve sold calves at the sale barn for the going price per pound. From this year’s calves, we’ll retain ownership on a cowpot load of calves, which is 90 head, until they’re finished. Then, we can match carcass data to the mama cows and select on the rib-eye thickness and all that.”

Ryan says that often, out of a lot of calves, the top calves can earn $1,200 each. The lowest may bring $700 each. That’s a $500 difference per calf. Ryan does quick math and figures that if 100 calves are on the low end, the ranch could lose $50,000. To avoid this, the Korineks want the majority of their calves to bring the top prices. Ryan will match the carcass data to the fertility data to select their best-performing cows and heifers.

IDENTIFY PROFIT SOURCES

In 2020, to increase their cow herd numbers, the Korineks purchased bred cows advertised to calve in May and June. Then, the birth of calves was strung out to August. This detrimentally impacted the cows’ re-breeding.

“We had a lot of open cows last spring,” Bill says. “Rather than take a hit at the sale barn, we decided to AI [artificial inseminate] them for fall calving.” The Korineks’ first choice was to sell the fall calvers as bred cows, because they want to calve once a year. Then, the drought tanked the 2021 cattle market.

The Korineks decided to calve out the fall calving bunch themselves. For a protein supplement, Bill bought millet—which is 7.1 percent protein—to feed out with the distillers’ grain. “We’ll figure out this deal with the fall cows,” Bill says. “It gives us more options, rather than just say good-bye to an open cow and get $600 at the sale barn.”

Ryan’s side hustle is also focused on capturing the revenue lost on an open cow. It started in his kitchen with the largest vacuum sealer that the local Walmart offered. He recently expanded Noah’s Nibbles, his line of dog bones and dog jerky, to his garage. Noah, the family’s golden retriever, has taste-tested the jerky and bones to show his approval for the real beef and bone marrow.

The source of beef is open cows slaughtered locally. All the meat is processed into jerky for dogs. Ryan cuts the fresh bones into appropriate dog chew size himself. His recent purchase of a chamber sealer to package the pet products is what moved the operation of Noah’s Nibbles into the garage.

Ryan licensed the fresh jerky and bones, which should be refrigerated or frozen, through the State of Nebraska as feed product. This allows it to be sold across state lines. Currently, Noah’s Nibbles are available through Amazon.com and sales have spread from New York to California.

As with all components of the ranch business, Ryan knows the budget projections. “Let’s say an open cow brings $600 at the sale barn,” he begins. “Processing that cow into Noah’s Nibbles grosses something like $4,000. Say half of that are the expenses of processing, labor, labeling, shipping, etc. On average, this could turn a $600 cow into a $1,800 cow. That’s more than double the profit. That’s huge. Ranching has tight margins.” Bill and Ryan are set on finding the best management strategies and profitable markets for their ranch business’s financial sustainability.
