Cattle herd showing livestock value for lending

Why can't you borrow against your cattle?

What we saw

  • Cattle is locked cash - you own valuable assets but can't access their value
  • No one really will lend against cattle
  • When they do, it's very complex and means giving up control of your herd

What we are doing

  • Borrow against what you already own
  • No selling required. No lengthy applications
  • Fast access to cash based on your cattle value

Who are we?

Three years ago, we built Up For Bids because the livestock industry needed an online alternative. What started as a website for buying and selling cattle has now grown to where we are offering access to finance options for the cattle you already own

Up For Bids founder with cattle, representing livestock-based lending alternative
