Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) is designed to insure against declining market prices. Producers may select from a variety of coverage levels and periods of insurance that correspond with the time their market weight livestock would be sold. Producers can choose contract length (varying from 13 to 52 weeks), weight, coverage level, and number of livestock they want to insure. LRP is available for cattle, lamb, and swine and can be purchased throughout the year. LRP’s ending values, coverage prices, rates and premiums may be viewed on the RMA website at https://public.rma.usda.rov/livestockreports/main.aspx
