Sorting Pen: The California Cattleman Podcast
Season 6, Episode 18
On this episode, we’re chatting through some good news and updates for cattle producers with WSR Insurance CEO Jim Vann and agent Matt Griffith. WSR Insurance is the exclusive insurance provider of the California Cattlemen’s Association. We discuss the latest updates and opportunities in Livestock Risk Protection (LRP), including USDA’s newly announced Beef Retention and National Development tool, as well as recent changes to Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage (PRF) insurance and why now is the time to get your policies in place. If PRF hasn’t been a great option for some of your acres in the past, now is the time to have a new conversation about whether these updates make it a better fit. Matt and Jim also share about weather forecasts, California’s fire insurance market, and what else producers should have on their radar.
