With Elliott Dennis, Assistant Professor and Livestock Economist, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; and Jay Parsons, Professor and Farm and Ranch Management Specialist, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The USDA-RMA recently released a new pilot insurance product relevant for cattle producers in Nebraska, Texas, South Dakota, and Colorado. Its focus is 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.
