Custom graze our cows

Custom grazing our cattle can be a great solution for young ranchers, those who have excess grass or hay, or operations that want to increase revenue without adding more debt or taking more commodity risk.

3Rafters pays you a cash fee for custom grazing and feeding our cattle year round.  We also pay for hay, mineral, preg checking and vet costs.

You provide the grass, water and take care of the cattle.

Guaranteed cash flow!  We pay a per head amount that goes straight to your bottom line and is not tied to this year's hay prices or calf prices.

You don't have to borrow money to buy more cows but you can get your operation to an optimal size with our cows.

Choose a cash or calf share lease if:

• You want to grow your own herd quickly
• Have enough other cash flow to pay for hay, mineral, vet bills, cow and calf mortality and culling costs
• Are okay with taking commodity risk in the form of hay prices,  calf prices and cull cow prices

Choose custom grazing if:

• You want to generate reliable cash flow that does not depend on commodity calf prices
• Do not want to pay for hay, mineral, vet bills, cow and calf mortality and culling costs
