Cattle Grazing Land Lease within the Lower Dry Creek Floodplain
County of Sacramento / Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency
Description
The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) is requesting proposals from qualified firms or individuals (Grazer) to lease and operate an ecologically and economically viable cattle operation on certain SAFCA-managed lands located in the Rio Linda area, within Sacramento County, California, according to these specifications and as directed by SAFCA. The proposed grazing activity will be conducted with non-exclusive rights to use approximately 532 acres. The cattle grazing lease is for the period from March 1, 2027, through February 28, 2030, subject to renewal, or termination for non-performance, with 2 one-year extension options. Base stocking capacity in this RFP is 711 animal unit months (AUMs) per year on the Grazing Properties under normally available forage production conditions but will vary year to year to higher or lower amounts depending on available forage production as a result of yearly rainfall (estimated to vary from 397 to 1,130 AUMs per year) and the potential for loss of forage from wildfire and flooding. The goals of grazing management for SAFCA for these Grazing Properties include maintenance of wildlife habitat and native vegetation, control of invasive plants, management of hazardous fuels, and providing an additional stewardship presence on the property to observe conditions and communicate with SAFCA when appropriate.
