Compass Ag Insurance

Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) is price insurance for livestock. Producers may choose from a variety of coverage levels and insurance periods that correspond with the projected marketing date of their livestock. The coverage is a price floor that limits loss to the protection level selected by the producer, who in turn pays a premium for that protection after the coverage period ends. It does not limit any gains or upward price movement in the market.

We offer this as another risk management tool in our “toolbox” because of these advantages for producers:

• No margin money required; it is an insurance product not a market product
• Premium is not due until AFTER the coverage period ends
• Up to 25,000 head of Feeder Cattle may be insured per crop year
• Up to 25,000 head of Fed Cattle may be insured per crop year
• Feeder Cattle insurance averages $15/head cheaper than a bought put (futures market price floor)
• Fed Cattle insurance averages $18/head cheaper than a bought put
• Coverage is placed per head of livestock, so cattle owners can protect their exact inventory

As a risk management office focused on the cattle industry, one of the most critical reasons we offer this is because it is a risk management tool for cattle. Cattle risk management is our expertise!  Our initial research into this price insurance product and its use revealed very few risk managers or insurance agents with practical experience using LRP.  Furthermore, LRP has a history of being disregarded and unused by the industry. Significant changes were made to the LRP program that now created critical advantages for the producer.
