KIS can assist clients in securing financing through Farm Credit Services in Colo r ado or US Bank in Nebraska. The cattle are placed in reputable feedyards in either northeastern Colorado or western Nebraska. A KIS representative inspects the animals every three to four weeks to ensure the animals are being cared for properly.
Clients receive feed bills from the feedlot on regular billing cycles.
The bills also are reviewed b y KIS for accuracy. In addition, KIS is now affiliated with Phelps County Feeders in Holdrege, Nebraska. KIS assists clients in opening futures trading accounts to hedge the cattle. When cattle reach the proper market weight and desired finish, and after discussing a bid with the client, KIS will market the cattle - usually to one of the three major U.S. packers. Then we will trade out of the futures contracts established to hedge the cattle to complete the investment.
