CFC works with beef producers BIG time

New Beef Industry Group provides expertise for members

Cattle ranching is BIG business, especially at Capital Farm Credit (CFC). That’s why CFC is featuring its Beef Industry Group (BIG). This industry centric initiative within the association ensures fellow lenders, analysts, and cattle producers receive cutting-edge information and preeminent resources for success in their operations.

With a wide range of loan and insurance products, as well as experienced lending personnel, Capital Farm Credit is well-equipped to support the needs of the beef industry. Many staff members have their own operations or have backgrounds in cattle-oriented careers, bringing valuable knowledge and insights to CFC members.

“BIG is a cross section of all functions of people at CFC that touch the beef industry,” said Casey Cook, Capital Farm Credit senior relationship manager. “It is designed to be a resource of industry-specific knowledge for all CFC employees, and CFC members benefit from having well-informed resources that are accessible for ideas, questions or information.”

BIG is dedicated to staying up to date with current events, market trends and industry insights. By doing so, they can pass along valuable information to ranchers, enabling them to make informed decisions for their operations.

"Our goal is to provide exceptional service and tailored financial solutions to our beef producers," said Pat Shields, Capital Farm Credit relationship manager. "We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that cattle producers face, and we are committed to helping them succeed.”

“We believe that knowledge is power, and we want to empower our members with the information they need to thrive in the ever-changing agricultural landscape,” he added.  

Capital Farm Credit's BIG is a testament to the association’s commitment to agriculture and rural communities. As the beef industry rapidly changes, CFC will continue to offer specialized expertise and financial products to be the trusted advisor for beef cattle producers throughout Texas.

“We’re keeping up with trends in the industry,” said Tara Hinkle, Capital Farm Credit credit manager. “BIG aids in fulfilling our mission to ensure beef producers are successful as field experts who can relate to them, not only on a lender-level, but also on a personal level. We’ve lived our first-hand knowledge, and this is why we are trusted advisors.”
