The Livestock Risk Protection Insurance Plan is designed to insure against declining market prices. You may choose from a variety of coverage levels and insurance periods that match the time your livestock would normally be marketed (ownership may be retained).

You may buy LRP insurance throughout the year. You may choose coverage prices ranging from 70 to 100 percent of the expected ending value. At the end of the insurance period, if the actual ending value is below the coverage price, you will be paid an indemnity for the difference between the coverage price and actual ending value. LRP is available in selected states for fed cattle, feeder cattle, lamb and swine.
