An Introduction to Stocklease
The concept of leasing is not new to agriculture, many farmers lease capital items or land as part of everyday business practices. Stocklease products give producers the opportunity to finance livestock in a similar way.
What is a livestock lease?
Similar to a plant and equipment lease, livestock leasing is a finance product where the ownership of the stock is retained by the financier (Stocklease), and you, the farmer, make regular payments for the right to use the livestock.
Livestock is selected by you, the lessee, in line with your normal buying specifications, or it can already be owned by you and can be sold to Stocklease. In either case, the stock is then leased to you over an agreed period that suits your production & sales program.
The most important thing to remember is Stocklease leasing does not change your management or marketing practices, preserving the way you operate your business.
Stocklease has facilities available for cattle (dairy or beef) and sheep, whether for breeding, backgrounding, grass-finishing, or lot-feeding programs, as well as milking and stud stock.
