Financing always varies from one buyer to another. As all buyers are different, so are all farms.

We will accompany you to any meeting you might have with bankers or poultry companies.

Poultry Farms:

Locating and purchasing a suitable farm that fits your family's needs is not necessarily a simple process. A farm has to be able to produce a positive cash flow to supply enough income for your individual family's financial situation. The amount of down payment you provide (usually a minimum of 10%) directly influences the amount of cash flow on a farm.

Broiler Farms:

A broiler farm is a farm that is involved in the production of poultry for meat. Baby chickens are delivered to the farm at one day of age and are generally kept from 5 to 9 weeks. After this time, the broilers are removed from the farm to harvest for meat. The "out time" is usually 10 to 14 days. Pay on broilers is on a pound-of-meat-produced basis and has many variances in the pay formula.

Breeder Hen Farms:

This poultry operation is primarily involved in hatching egg production. Generally, a farm will receive pullets (young hens) when the pullets are approximately 20 to 22 weeks old. These hens will remain on the farm and in egg production for approximately 43 to 46 continuous weeks, at the end of which, they will be picked up and taken to slaughter. The typical 'out time' is four to six weeks. Pay for breeder hens is generally on a 'per dozen eggs' basis, often with other bonuses possible.

Pullet Farms:

This poultry operation produces young hens for the breeder hen operation. A farm will receive baby female chickens. These chickens are raised continuously for approximately 20 to 22 weeks. Until then, they are picked up and taken to a breeder hen farm. The farm will typically have "out time" of 10 to 14 days for maintenance or cleanout. Pay on a pullet farm is usually done on a square foot basis.

Turkey Farms:

Turkey farms are much like broiler farms in the manner in which they are raised. However, the day-to-day management is somewhat different. The poults (babies), once placed, usually remain on the farm for about 12 weeks, with about three weeks of "out time" between flocks. Turkeys are purchased on a per-pound basis, and Turkey integrators generally offer generous fuel bonuses. Turkeys typically handle the heat and cold better than broilers.
