i thought the five rivers lot in yuma, co was 120,000 capacity.  Thats what I was told back in the '90s when i was delivering 200 tons of ground hay per week, and they were using much more than that.  They had their own rail track siding for unloading corn.  The ethanol boom in 2006 really changed the feedlot diets.  I could be wrong.

also the other one you mentioned near haigler/ benkleman that is being built has 18,000 head currently (on the way to 150,000) and plans to feed no alfalfa im told.   There was a story mid january in the "midwest messenger" about it and the "rolled concrete" they were going to cover all their lots with.

adams land and cattle in broken bow is increasing their capacity by 50% more as they pave their lots also.  then they will be 150,200.
