π How One Producer Lifted Returns with DelayPay
When seasonal cashflow is tight but opportunities arise, DelayPay helps producers act quickly β buying inputs or livestock when it makes sense, not just when cash is available.
One DelayPay customer recently used our short-term funding solution to boost profits on both livestock and fodder:
Lamb Trade per Head

- Purchased 180 lambs at $164 in December using DelayPayβs 3-month term (repayment value $177)
- Sold in March at $228 per head, achieving a $51 profit per head after DelayPay
Hay Purchase
- Bought 200 MT of vetch hay at $340 in April on a 3-month term (repayment value $367)
- By July, spot price had lifted to $400, protecting feed supply while capturing price gains
By matching working capital to market timing, this producer kept operations moving β and maximised returns.
DelayPay gives Australian farmers the flexibility to:
β
Buy inputs or livestock when prices are right
β
Manage cashflow without disrupting production
β
Hold or sell at the most profitable time
