Dairy herd finance is a valuable tool for UK dairy farmers looking to expand or modernise their livestock operations without the burden of a large initial outlay.

You may want to replace some of your existing cows or expand your herd. Whatever your business goals, we can help you achieve them by arranging specific agriculture finance.

Access to new assets - If you need to replace your existing cows or add to your herd, you can use dairy herd finance to access the funds to do this.
Tailored re-payment options - We understand your cash flow and income fluctuates which is why we can offer seasonal payments options.

Dairy herd finance often varies and depends on the business and type of finance required. It might take a few weeks or may require several months of planning. Applicants for dairy herd finance should have all their accounts in order and available for inspection, just like with any other type of business funding. Bank statements, the last three to five years’ worth of certified accounts, business plans, and specifics on assets and liabilities can all be required.
In addition to financing dairy cows, we can also support you with the purchase of both new and used assets across a wide range of equipment and machinery:
We can help you finance both livestock and other agricultural assets such as milking robots, feeding systems, tractors, and more, often within one tailored finance solution such as a hire purchase agreement to keep things simple and manageable.
In most cases, the finance provider retains ownership of the livestock until the final payment is made. Once the agreement is complete, full ownership transfers to you.
Deposit requirements can vary depending on the lender, your credit profile, and the value of the livestock. Some agreements may require as little as 5–10% upfront as a deposit.
