Livestock Loans

Raising livestock in a fluctuating market can require significant cash flow and a certain amount of financial security.

Livestock loans provide short-term financing to purchase feeder cattle and lambs, or to retain your owned calves and lambs for feeding.

Purposes

Stocker Loans are available for:

  • purchase of steer and heifer calves, feeder cows, and lambs;
  • cash advance to retain producer’s own feeder cattle or lambs; and
  • purchase of unbred heifers to be bred and sold within a 12-month period.
