Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) Insurance in North Dakota

Price-Floor Protection with Upside Potential

LRP works like affordable price insurance for eligible livestock. You choose a class, coverage level, and end date; if the index price finishes below your insured price, LRP pays the difference. Bowerman Insurance Agency helps North Dakota producers align coverage with marketing plans for feeder or fed cattle.

Daily Quotes, Flexible End Dates


Coverage offerings are posted frequently. Pick your head count and target end date window; premiums are subsidized and is billed the 1st day following the second month after the end date for the endorsement purchased. At the end, if the published index settles lower than your insured price, you receive an indemnity-no futures account required.

Stabilize Income in Volatile Markets

LRP is accessible for small and mid-sized herds, with minimums as low as a single head. Keep the market upside if prices rise; if they fall, LRP helps close the gap.
