We find that livestock operations have an overall statistically significant effect on property values. Predicted negative effects are largest for properties that are downwind and close to livestock operations. In addition, feeding operations that are moderate in size have more impact than do large- scale operations, most likely reflecting age, type, and management practices of the moderate-sized operatio
