How to Apply for a Livestock Loan

1

Livestock loans are term loans that involve a lump sum disbursal at the beginning of the loan period and have a fixed repayment term. Term loans may be secured by collateral which in some cases can include the asset being financed or a personal guarantee.

Livestock loans can be used for:

  • Purchasing livestock
  • Breeding livestock
  • Cow/calf operations
  • Backgrounding
  • Feedlots
  • Dairy

We offer flexible financing for livestock loans, with a variety of rate options and payment schedules that align with your cash flow. 
2

When applying for a term loan, be prepared to share some basic information about your operation, your financial background and what you plan to utilize the loan funds for. Your repayment capacity and credit history will be factored into the approval decision. 

Once approved, your local financial officer will work alongside you to choose the rates and terms that best fit your operation’s needs. If your financial needs change, you may be able to convert a variable-rate loan to fixed-rate loan or a fixed-rate loan to a variable-rate loan.
