Livestock Finance and Agricultural Finance
Livestock finance sits within the wider agricultural finance landscape and is typically used to fund the acquisition or refinancing of livestock within farming businesses.
This type of funding is commonly used in sectors such as dairy and poultry, where livestock forms a core part of the operation and represents a significant investment within the business.
Borrowing is usually structured around the livestock alongside the wider farm business, taking into account factors such as production, income and the ongoing management of the herd or flock.
Livestock finance may also sit alongside other forms of agricultural finance depending on how the business is structured. For example, land and property may be funded separately through farm mortgages or agricultural mortgages, while working capital requirements may be supported through farm loans.
