Cattle producers have two price risk management tools available to them that are offered by the United States Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency (RMA).

  • Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) provides protection against price declines.
  • Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) provides protection against loss of gross margin (market value of livestock minus feed costs).

Iowa Farm Bureau is hosting a two-part webinar series in June.   The first one is on June 9 and includes details on sign-up, use and examples of LRP for cattle and hogs.   For more information and to register, go to this link
