Our service

We’re making livestock trading as seamless as possible for producers, agents and feedlots.

Access to capital needs to be as fast and as flexible as the transaction it’s supporting. We’ve developed a tailored livestock trading facility for your business. Our technology and systems provide seamless capital to the livestock industry when it’s needed most. This allows our agency and feedlot partners to facilitate livestock trading requirements for their clientele. It means producers can buy and sell livestock through their local agent more easily and efficiently, helping to manage cash-flow requirements.

Our story

Where character is currency.

At Ottley we acknowledge the old ways where lending was built around character, relationships and mutual respect. We value these key pillars and through the addition of technology and innovation we have created our business with this criteria front of mind.

With our heritage of generational family farming, stock and station agency expertise, and livestock funding experience, we’ve felt the weight of financial decisions, made our share of mistakes and learnt the hard way. We know the thrill of the wins and the hard reality of having to dig deep when it matters.

Ottley knows that resilience, determination and strength of character can't be measured. But they are exactly what’s needed to succeed in an industry like ours. At Ottley strong relationships are at the core of what we do. Character is our compass. We look after our clients because they do and expect the same from us. There is no greater credit check than a history of repayment. Actions speak louder than assets.

So when you choose Ottley, you’re choosing a financial partner who stays across not just what’s happening today, but what’s on the horizon for tomorrow. We know the lay of the land and we're here to support your business.
