Beef industry insights

Beef lending portfolio

Beef feedlots are the largest sector in our protein portfolio, as the chart shows, and the second largest in our overall portfolio served by AgCountry Farm Credit Services and our collaborating Associations, accounting for over $9 billion in loan commitments in 2026. We provided an additional $4 billion to cow/calf operations.

Beef operations often are diversified, and feedlots have become more specialized. As a result, financing needs are complex. Our knowledge of the beef industry and the financial capacity means dependable credit when you need it to keep your business moving forward.
