Weaned Calf Risk Protection Insurance (Jan. 9, 2025 Webinar)

With Elliott Dennis, Associate Professor and Livestock Economist, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; and Shannon Sand, Agricultural Economist, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The USDA-RMA's Weaned Calf Risk Protection Insurance product focuses on protecting total weight gain of feeder cattle post-weaning. It is available to be purchased but has a one-time sign-up deadline of January 31st to purchase the insurance product. In this webinar, we review what the product is, how it works, things to consider when choosing coverage levels, and how it fits within the broader portfolio of livestock insurance products publicly and privately available to producers.
