Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) protects cattle and swine producers against declining market prices and gives them peace of mind. There are different coverage levels and we’ll explain the benefits of how LRP could work for your operation. 

Coverage on a Per Head Basis

LRP coverage is based on a per animal basis and therefore you will not be over- or under-insuring your risk since you do not have to buy a CME contract based on lbs of animals. Per head coverage allows you to “hedge” a certain number of animals at a certain price with the option to cover additional animals at a higher price if the market continues to increase.

Participate in the Upside of the Cash Market

LRP allows you to lock in a floor price against a national price decline. An indemnity is not based on what you sell your livestock for. So if the market price continues to increase, you should be able to realize the higher price when you sell your animals.

No Margin Calls

There are no margin calls with LRP. When the market goes up, you can rest assured you are not putting more money into the coverage.

No Upfront Costs

There is no cost to sign up or upfront cost when you buy coverage. Premium for the coverage is billed at the end of the coverage period.
