The thought of investing in a cow can make some people smile, yet it can turn out to be very lucrative. Such an investment can indeed pay off and is risk-free, or at least almost. This can offer the possibility of enjoying a regular income. Find out how this type of investment is made, what steps to follow…
The cost of a cow is a little over a thousand euros. So you won’t have to spend all your savings to be able to get one. Moreover, it is not necessary to buy a whole herd, because a single cow can be enough. Thus, even small budgets can afford to try this kind of investment. If of course you have a bigger budget, you have every right to acquire a whole herd. In any case, the money you will have to pay depends on the species of animal but also on its weight. The ideal would therefore be to invest in a sufficiently old cow that produces milk.
When we talk about investing in a cow, it is naturally a dairy cow, because it is the most profitable, since the animal produces milk and can eventually have young. As for where you will install it, don’t worry. The purchase of the cow is made through intermediaries or organizations who will be responsible for renting your animal to an agricultural producer. The latter has animal insurance, which will guarantee the security of your placement. The cow is in good hands. You will in fact have to get in touch with the AFIC or Association Française Investissement Livestock, which will be the mediator between the farmer and you. If you wish, you can increase your herd as you save money. However, you must keep in mind that the investment is virtual, since you will not have your animal in front of you. As far as your income is concerned, it will be annual, and you are then offered two options: on the one hand, you can collect it every year or replace your income with new cows.
Either way, you should know that investing in a cow takes patience. In reality, if you want to quickly turn your fund, it is certainly possible for you to put your animal on sale at the slaughterhouse, but you will only earn a small amount of money. In the best case, if you stop your investment, you will be able to pocket your profits except that you will not be entitled to the invested funds. Therefore, only choose this form of investment if you plan to invest in a cow for the long term.
In short, it is certain that if you were considering making an investment, you would never have had this idea in the first place. And yet, it is an interesting project since it does not involve any risk and it allows to obtain quite large profits.
