Livestock Insurance

Livestock Risk Protection (LRP):
Price Protection Built for Livestock Producers

Protect against unexpected market price declines—without complex trading strategies.

A Simpler Way to Manage Cattle Price Risk

Cattle markets can change quickly.  One unexpected downturn can significantly impact your bottom line.

Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) is designed to help cattle and swine producers protect against unexpected declines in market prices.  It is a single-peril insurance product focused only on market price risk - not production risk or individual sale outcomes.

LRP does not require futures trading, margin calls, or long-term commitments.  Coverage is flexible and can be customized to fit your operation.

Why Producers Use LRP

  • Protect against market price declines
  • Works for cow-calf, backgrounders, and feedlot operations
  • Flexible coverage by head count, weight, and timing
  • No futures accounts or margin calls
  • USDA-supported program available nationwide

Let's Just Take a Look

You don't have to insure every head - or commit to anything - to explore LRP. A short walkthrough with one of our agents can help you decide if it fits your operation.

Protecting More Than Just Price Risk

Market risk isn't the only challenge livestock and forage producers face.  We also offer tools designed to help manage weather-related and establishment risks.

Pasture, Range, Forage (PRF) Insurance

PRF insurance is designed to help protect livestock producers against forage losses due to lack of precipitation.  Coverage is based on rainfall data for your area rather than individual production records.

PRF is commonly used by producers who rely on pasture, range, or hay ground to support livestock operations and manage the risk of dry conditions impacting forage availability.

As us how PRF could complement your livestock risk plan.

Alfalfa Seeding and Production Insurance

Alfalfa insurance helps protect producers against risks associated with establishing and producing alfalfa, including weather-related losses.

Options are available to help manage:

  • Stand establishment risk during seeding
  • Production losses during the growing season

This coverage can provide added confidence when investing in forage acres that support livestock operations.
