Typical arrangements allow for Texas Beef to provide the cattle for the pasture operator. These high performance cattle will provide grazing income to the pasture operator as well as affording an opportunity to participate in the profits of the cattle program. Texas Beef will finance the operation at competitive interest rates and provide support in critical areas such as animal health and nutrition through the auspices of our consulting veterinarian, Dr. Tom Latta, and our nutritionist, Dr. Wally Koers.

These arrangements allow the pasture operator to decide the level of participation in the venture. The venture can be terminated at the pasture level or it may continue through feeding and processing at the option of the operator. Price outs are possible at the time of the operator's choosing based on the feeder or fat cattle futures market at the time.

Some programs using the options on cattle futures will allow Texas Beef to offer price protected grazing programs.
