Livestock Risk Protection Insurance Coverage
Protect the bulls that build your herd and your bottom line.
Livestock Risk Protection Insurance for Cattle Ranchers.
Cattle prices rise and fall with no warning, no mercy, and no concern for the hours, sweat, and money you’ve poured into your herd. One bad turn, one market swing, and a year’s worth of planning can be wiped out overnight.
That’s why Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) exists—to make sure you’re not at the mercy of market crashes. It’s a tool, not a gamble—one that locks in a price floor for your feeder cattle, fed cattle, and swine, so when the market drops, you don’t fall with it.
The Fence Post Agency is here to make sure you have access to this coverage quickly, efficiently, and without the usual red tape.
Why Livestock Risk Protection Matters
Protects Against Market Crashes
Ensures that you’re not stuck selling below cost when prices take a dive.
No Selling Restrictions
You can sell your livestock as usual and still collect indemnity payments if prices drop.
Backed by the USDA
This isn’t a private company’s gamble. It’s a structured risk management tool from the same agency that protects farmers with crop insurance.
Lock in Your Protection Before the Market Turns.
You work too hard to leave your bottom line to chance. LRP is the safety net you don’t think you need. Until you do.
Let’s make sure you’re covered before the next price swing.
The Fence Post Agency works directly with the USDA’s Risk Management Agency to get ranchers covered without the headache of bureaucracy.
What is Livestock Risk Protection Insurance?
LRP is not an ordinary insurance policy—it’s a price risk management tool backed by the USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA).
- Sets a price floor for your livestock. If market prices crash, you’re still covered.
- Works like a safety net. You sell at the market price, but if it’s below the insured price, you collect the difference.
- Covers feeder cattle, fed cattle, and swine.
Think of it this way: you wouldn’t put your entire operation at the mercy of the weather without a plan. So why leave your bottom line at the mercy of the market?
