Grow your livestock operation with the right backing.

No, you don't need a massive operation to get started—OM.Farm is designed for family-run and mid-sized farms too. As long as you have an established livestock farm with adequate resources (like facilities, feed, and labor) to manage shared leases on your existing herd, and can demonstrate operational capacity through your current animals, you're eligible. This keeps the barrier low so more traditional farmers can access the benefits of shared leasing without scaling up prematurely.

OM.Farm is completely free for operators—no platform fees whatsoever. You use our tools, listings, and support at zero cost, keeping more of your hard-earned profits. We make our model sustainable through our investment side, so you can focus on your ranch without any hidden charges.

Every shared leasing agreement is a legally binding contract tailored to state-specific livestock laws, reviewed by our in-house legal team for fairness, compliance, and risk mitigation. We include clauses for scenarios like health issues or market changes, ensuring both you and investors are covered with clear dispute resolution paths. Plus, all documents are digital and easy to access via your dashboard, giving you peace of mind without needing your own lawyer.

We currently only focus on cattle, sheep/goats, and pigs—no poultry. This keeps our partnerships streamlined for these high-demand species with strong market viability for shares or progeny. Focus on healthy, market-ready animals from your existing herd; during listing, you'll specify details like breed, age, and health status for our direct review.

Agreements are flexible and usually run 6-18 months, depending on the livestock type and goals (e.g., until marketable weight for feeder cattle or birthing cycles for breeders). OM.Farm negotiate the timeline upfront with our operators, and extensions are common if both parties agree. This structure aligns with natural growth cycles, minimizing long-term commitments while maximizing returns.

As the operator, you handle care and costs, but our agreements include contingency clauses for health events, like adjusted profit shares or prorated resolutions. OM.Farm provides access to our vet network and best-practice resources to prevent issues. In rare cases of total loss, the contract outlines equitable outcomes to protect your investment in the herd.

After your sale, report our portion via the bill of sale upload— we'll generate a secure payment link for remittance within days. You retain your full share (e.g., 80%) immediately from the transaction, with our process ensuring transparency and speed. Track everything in your dashboard for real-time updates.

There's no strict minimum, but we recommend starting with one head so that you can become familiar with how we work. Our commitments depend on our budget and how much we can raise with financial institutions and partners, but we typically operate 5-10 head per farm and even more depending on the size of your farm.
