RMA tracks total policy sales against available authorized funding using a real-time, Web-based program. While livestock sales occur throughout the year, insurance sales will cease when funding limits are reached.
In 2010, RMA insured a livestock value of $186 million. In 2011, the value of livestock insured rose to over $1 billion.
For further information about livestock policies or other crop insurance programs that may offer assistance, please contact your local insurance agent. Additional questions may also be directed to one of the specialists at your RMA Regional Office. http://www.rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/fields/rsos.html.
