Ranch Loan Terms
Ranch Loans are intended to help cattle farmers and ranchers manage and grow their businesses.
These loans are designed to support you in overcoming the particular difficulties faced by the ranching sector, such as market circumstances and seasonal variations, so that your ranch can run profitably.
Ranch Loans are offered in a variety of formats to meet the varied requirements of the ranching sector.

Water and improvements
Wells, ponds, water rights, fencing, barns and any residence.
Title, access and minerals
Legal access, easements, and whether mineral and surface rights are together.
Borrower and exit
Credit of 680 or higher, entity structure, and how the loan will be repaid or refinanced.

Ranch loan FAQs
What is a ranch loan?
A ranch loan is financing secured by ranch real estate, used to buy a working or recreational ranch, expand with adjacent land, or refinance existing debt. Lenders weigh the land, its water, its improvements and the borrower’s plan.
What is the minimum loan for a ranch?
Our ranch loans start at $1M. Smaller ranch purchases are usually better served by a Farm Credit association, bank, or USDA program.
Can I refinance a ranch I already own?
Yes. We offer rate-and-term and cash-out refinancing on ranch property, secured by the real estate.
How fast can you close?
Funding can take as few as 14 days, depending on how quickly the appraisal, title, and other reports are completed and on the complexity of the deal.
Do you finance the cattle?
We lends against real estate. We finance the ranch land and improvements, and we do not offer livestock-only or equipment-only loans. Where a deal includes working capital, it can be structured against the property.
What do I need to apply?
- Ranch address, acreage and current use
- Purchase contract or existing loan statement
- Water, improvement and mineral-rights details
- Entity documents and ownership details
- Credit information (minimum score 680)
An appraisal, title report and environmental review are typically ordered during underwriting.
