Investment in calves that are owned by livestock producers who want to delay the sale of their animals to fatten them at the time of investment. Seen from the farmer’s side, the investor’s participation works as an advance to what will be his punctual sale six months after the investment is made. When the contract is settled, the producer keeps for himself the product of the sale after returning the investor’s contribution and his benefit.

With the money of the investor, animals are bought and placed to produce in the establishment of a livestock producer with potential to encourage the growth of these animals. Typically when it comes to males, the end of the contract occurs when the cattle meet the required fat for their slaughter in a meat processing plant. When it comes to females, the objective of the contract can be both fattening and pregnancy. As it is seen, every case is about biological objectives and therefore it does not have a precise date of occurrence. It is common for these contracts to be completed in 2 or 3 batches.

With the money of the investor, breeding animals (pregnant or recently calved cows) are bought and placed in a livestock establishment with the potential of producing a breeding system (sale of calves from cows). The first generation of calves is sold after exactly one year to satisfy the benefits of the first year of investment, while at the end of the second year all the animals (cows and second generation of calves) are liquidated to return the invested capital and pay for the second year of the investment. As always, all the excess to this commitment is the producer´s compensation.

This investment option has identical productive objectives as those described for the LIVESTOCK BONUS. The variants with respect to that one is that a part of the investment is used for the purchase of pregnant or calved cows (70%) while the balance is used to cover the “hospitality” of these animals, meaning the working capital that requires its exploitation. In compensation, the minimum profit for the investor is that obtained with the LIVESTOCK BONUS, but the benefit can be increased according to the price evolution of the calves throughout the contract.
