Own Cattle in Colombia. Earn Real Returns.
01
The Opportunity
Colombia is the fourth-largest cattle producer in Latin America with over 29 million head. The country's tropical climate allows year-round grazing — no harsh winters, no feed lots, no factory farming. Cattle here grow on open pastures the way nature intended.

Who You're Backing
Real operators, real land, real cattle. A Colombian operation run by people you can pick up the phone and call.
Where We Operate
Vereda Quebradona, Municipio Gómez Plata, Antioquia, Colombia. Premium grazing pasture in the Colombian highlands. We hold no claim to the land in the investment vehicle — operations only.
Operators on the Ground
Danny Sanchez (entrepreneur and multi-business operator) and Paula Andrea Roldán (project lead, Antioquia agricultural operations) run the day-to-day for Monte Plata Farms S.A.S. Both are reachable; investor questions answered within 48 hours.
What we are not
Monte Plata Farms is a cattle investment program. Investors fund the purchase and grow-out of cattle. Investors do not acquire any interest in real property. This is not a real estate investment, not a securitization of land, and not a fractional land ownership scheme. You invest in livestock; the company manages all land, infrastructure, and operations.
03
What Could Go Wrong
No hedging, no fine print. The honest list of what affects your return.
FX Risk
Capital and returns are denominated in Colombian Pesos. If you fund from USD or any other currency, you bear FX risk on both conversion in and conversion out. We do not hedge currency for you.
Cycle Extension
Biological cycles can run 8-10 months but may extend due to drought, disease, supply chain disruption, or strategic decisions to delay sale for better pricing. You'll be notified of any extension exceeding 30 days.
Market Price Risk
The market price per kilogram fluctuates. While we time sales to optimize price, the final sale price affects your return.
Mortality Risk — Covered
If your assigned animal dies, you receive 100% of your invested capital back plus a 10% APR premium, prorated to the months it was alive. You bear zero mortality risk. See the next section for details.
Operator Concentration
Your investment performance depends on the continued operation of Monte Plata Farms S.A.S. and its operators. The company maintains business continuity protocols, but operator incapacity could affect your investment.
Liquidity
Your capital is locked for the full 8-10 month cycle unless you use the early-exit option (20% haircut). Outside the exit window, this is not a liquid investment. Plan accordingly.
04
Zero mortality risk for investors. If your animal dies, you get your capital back plus a 10% APR premium, prorated to months held — paid within 30 days.
This is the single biggest differentiator in Colombian cattle investing. We carry the biological risk so you don't.
What's covered
Death from natural causes, disease, accident, or complications during transport. All confirmed by the veterinarian on staff.
What's not covered
Theft (covered separately by herd insurance), force majeure events affecting the entire herd (war, expropriation, complete property loss), or investor breach of contract.
How it works
Vet confirms death → company notifies you within 48 hours → 100% of capital plus the prorated premium (10% APR × months elapsed ÷ 12) is wired to your account within 30 days from operating cash flow. No application, no claim form, no waiting period.
Mortality payouts are backed by Monte Plata Farms S.A.S. operational reserves. The 10% APR premium prorates by months held — a death at month 6 pays a 5% premium on top of capital, a death at month 9 pays 7.5%. Coverage detailed in your investor agreement.

How It Works
- 01
Apply & Fund
Complete your investor application. Once approved, fund your account with the cost of 1 lot (~40M COP at current pricing) via wire transfer.
- 02
Capital Deployed
Your investment funds the acquisition of cattle on our farm. Each animal is registered, tagged, and tracked in FincaOS.
- 03
Professional Management
Our experienced team manages daily operations — feeding, health monitoring, pasture rotation, and veterinary care.
- 04
Earn Returns
As cattle gain weight and the herd grows through reproduction, your portfolio value increases. Returns are distributed at quarterly sale events.
06
Need your capital back early? You can exit any cycle with a 20% haircut on the gross sale value.
Early exit pays you 40% of the cattle's market value at the exit date, after a 20% haircut. You can leave any time after month 1 — no penalty for changing your mind, but the haircut reflects the cost of an unfinished cycle.
- 01
How it's calculated
Weight at exit = 250 kg + (20 kg × months elapsed). Gross value = weight × current market price per kg. We apply a 20% haircut, then you receive 40% of what's left. Processing takes 30-45 days.
- 02
When you can exit
Anytime after month 1 of a cycle. No early-exit option during the first 30 days (cattle settling-in period). You request via FincaOS; the operations team confirms within 48 hours.
- 03
Why the haircut exists
When you exit early, the company must purchase your share and either re-sell to another investor or carry the cattle to cycle close on its own capital. The 20% haircut compensates for that operational and timing risk while still ensuring you receive fair value for the work the cattle have done so far.
Model an early exit
Adjust the lot size, exit month, and current market price. Defaults reflect a 1-lot minimum position (26 head) at cycle-1 baseline.
Total weight at exit
9.100 kg
Gross value
109.2M COP
After 20% haircut
87.4M COP
Your 40% payout
34.9M COP
Versus holding to full cycle: 53.7M COP (your 40% at month 9). Forgone by exiting early: 18.7M COP below the full-cycle payout.
Worked example models a 9-month cycle at 250 kg starting weight per head and 20 kg/month weight gain. Real cycles run 8–10 months. 1 lot = 26 head (the minimum investment). Actual numbers vary with the specific lot's purchase weight, market conditions, and cycle duration.

* Investment amounts are estimated at current pricing (~1.54M COP per head; 1 lot = 26 head). Cattle market prices fluctuate — the actual lot cost is set at the moment funds clear in COP. Projections assume consistent cycle performance. Actual results will vary. All figures in Colombian pesos (COP). This is not a guarantee of returns.

The Story
Danny Sanchez
Founder & CEO
I came to Colombia the way a lot of Americans do — curious, a little restless, looking for something different. What I found was a country that surprised me at every turn. The culture, the people, the raw beauty of the land. I didn't just visit. I stayed.
Paula Andrea Roldan
Co-Founder & COO
Every great farm needs someone who understands the land in their bones. For Monte Plata, that person is Paula Andrea. Born and raised in Medellín, Paula Andrea grew up surrounded by the culture of ganadería — the fincas, the ferias, the deep respect Antioqueños have for the campo.
You're in the herd.
