What Happens When Your Cattle Herd Outgrows the Property?

"We stayed connected throughout the three-year process... a smooth process with a good outcome; the client didn't miss a beat."

Ask Louis Giliberti and Kate Barker, owners of the Alder Creek Ranch in Mackay, Idaho. Originally from the east coast, Louis and Kate had a vision of a startup cattle operation in the west. After acquiring the ranch with the help of Hall and Hall’s finance team and commencing operations, they realized the need for a larger hay base to serve their growing herd.

As Louis and Kate evaluated opportunities, Hall and Hall Finance again offered the favorable rates and the team approach they needed. The expansion of the ranch moved forward under the team’s advisement, allowing Louis and Kate to focus on serving their herd instead of sweating the details.

“This was a best-case scenario for both of us. Funding an expansion project is more about commitment and patience than anything else. We stayed connected throughout the three-year process, revisited the products we used on the initial purchase, and ensured everything was consistent. A smooth process with a good outcome; the client didn’t miss a beat.” ~ JT Holt
