How to Cover Your Livestock with the Right Farm Insurance

Raising livestock typically represents a significant investment for farmers and ranchers across North Carolina. From unpredictable weather to disease outbreaks, livestock face a range of risks that can threaten your financial interests. At Dan Pittman Insurance Agency, we understand how to cover your animals and your business with the right farm insurance solutions.

Understanding Livestock Coverage Options

Farm insurance tailored for livestock goes beyond standard property coverage. Our team offers policies designed to address the unique risks faced by agricultural operations in the Tar Heel State. Common livestock insurance options include the following:

• Individual animal coverage can financially protect high-value animals, such as breeding stock or show animals, against specific risks like illness, injury or death.
• Herd coverage can insure all of your animals against covered losses, such as fire, lightning, theft or accidental shooting.
• Specialized endorsements may be available to cover risks like accidents during transportation, accidental drowning or attacks by wild animals.

Why Insurance Matters

North Carolina farmers may need to account for a risk-filled climate and agricultural landscape that presents unique challenges. Hurricanes, severe storms and disease outbreaks can cause sudden and significant losses. Livestock insurance can help you recover financially if your animals are lost due to covered events, allowing you to get back on your feet and resume normal operations.
