Livestock finance

Looking into livestock finance to speed up expanding my flock. Am I mad to even think about this or is it quite common? Feel like it might be a “he who dares wins” time.
But who knows what’s round the corner.

Plenty expand their flocks using overdrafts or the Bounce Back Loan, both of which are a source of finance.

If you can make the repayments work then why not? What sort of interest rates are there on ‘livestock finance’, I would imagine quite high?

I see the market report in paper breeding ewes making £200 that would be enough for me to enquire about driving a delivery van for Morrison or DPD but don't let that put you off if you want to do it go and do it
Well you go do that then 👍🏻

Those who dare wins, or you’ve got to be in it to win it both appeal. There are some options available between different groups/slaughterhouses/ dealers etc etc…
