Livestock Risk Protection Insurance Now Available
US - Livestock Risk Protection insurance is now available in 19 states. The insurance will cover feeder cattle, fed cattle and swine; the insurance was previously available in a smaller number of states and was suspended for cattle December 2003 after BSE was found in Washington State.
