flag South Australian and Victorian farmers use a new breeding finance program to rebuild herds after severe drought.

flag Livestock producers in South Australia and Victoria are struggling to recover from a severe drought that depleted herds and dried up water and feed supplies, forcing many to sell breeding stock. flag With rainfall 80% below average over 15 months and female livestock prices high, traditional restocking is difficult. flag StockCo by Heartland Bank offers a breeder finance model allowing farmers to acquire breeding females without upfront costs. flag The livestock is owned by StockCo, and repayments are tied to income from offspring sales, aligning with cash flow. flag Eligible producers with at least three years of experience and a repayment plan can access annual financing, helping rebuild herds sustainably. flag The program, backed by Heartland Bank, provides a practical financial tool for recovery amid ongoing drought challenges.
