Protect Your Stocker Operation

Stocker operations benefit from both livestock risk protection (LRP) and livestock gross margin (LGM) products from Stockguard. When you choose Stockguard to protect your cattle, you’re choosing simplicity, affordability, and transparency.
The process of taking young, lightweight cattle and growing them into healthy, feedlot-ready animals comes with many risks that could jeopardize your operation. That's why it's essential to ensure your cattle with our Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) and Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) policies.

The beef industry is vulnerable to market volatility and unexpected events, which can impact prices and ultimately your bottom line. LGM and LRP policies are specifically designed to protect backgrounder and stocker operations from these risks. LGM protects against price drops in the futures market, while LRP protects against price drops in the cash market. By combining these policies, you can ensure your operation is protected from both types of market movements.

We work with you to create a policy that provides the right amount of protection for your business, so you can focus on growing healthy, well-fed cattle and getting them ready for the next stage.
