Our lenders are experienced in Texas agricultural lending and understand the unique needs of livestock producers.

Loans are tailored specifically to your operation, with livestock-focused financing solutions.


We offer both fixed and variable interest rate options to fit your financial strategy.


Livestock loans can be structured as term loans or revolving loans for the purchase of livestock. A term loan provides a lump sum disbursed at the beginning of the loan and repaid over a scheduled period. A revolving loan offers access to funds up to a set limit, allowing you to borrow, repay and borrow again as needed — similar to a credit card.


Flexible payment schedules are available to align with your cash flow.


You may receive cash back through our Patronage Program, which returns a portion of our profits to our borrowers.

Our Loan Calculator helps you estimate payments and understand the total cost of borrowing, so you can see how financing fits into your operation’s budget. Simply enter key details like loan amount, interest rate, term length, payment frequency and amortization type to get started.

“When you go in, you don’t have to explain what you want to do. You tell them and they understand what the process is. They understand the feed end of it. They understand the cow calf end of it and the stocker end of it. I buy equipment through them. I buy land through them. I do my cattle operation, feeding operation. Everything goes through Capital Farm Credit.”

Rob Brown, Kellerville
