Southwestern Asset Management Launches $12M Livestock Leasing Offering
Southwestern Asset Management, a Texas-based sponsor of investments in essential assets, has launched Southwestern Livestock Leasing 2026 LLC, a Regulation D 506(c) offering formed to acquire and lease reproductive livestock to U.S. dairy producers.
“Livestock leasing represents a differentiated real asset strategy supported by real-economy demand,” said Cole Gilliam Parks, president of Southwestern Asset Management. “Our goal is to provide advisers and accredited investors access to an investment structure that may offer predictable cash flow characteristics, potential diversification benefits, and potential tax advantages under current law.”
The offering is seeking up to $12 million, with a minimum investment of $100,000 per investor. Livestock will be acquired on a rolling basis following each funded subscription, with no minimum fundraising threshold. The targeted five-year hold period is expected to begin Jan. 1, 2027.
The company’s strategy is to: acquire reproductive livestock, lease at market rates for an anticipated term of approximately five years, and create liquidity through a sale of the livestock at the end of the lease term. In addition, under current federal tax rules, qualifying livestock may be eligible for 100% bonus depreciation in the year it is acquired and placed in service.
Southwestern Livestock Leasing 2026 is the third offering in Southwestern’s livestock leasing strategy. Both predecessor offerings are performing as designed, according to the company, with investor distributions being delivered on schedule. The inaugural 2024 offering sold out within 30 days of launch, the company said.
The founders of Southwestern Asset Management have roots in the agriculture industry spanning at least six generations of farming, livestock production, and agribusiness services. The firm manages multiple limited partnerships, Reg D offerings, and direct real estate investments in agriculture, single-family, and multifamily housing. The company is a subsidiary of Southwestern Financial Group Inc.
