Western Livestock Price Insurance Responds To Volatility

Earlier this week we talked about the extreme volatility we’ve seen over the last few weeks in the cattle market.
 
Jodie Griffin is the Saskatchewan Co-ordinator for the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program.
 
She has been taking part in the Saskatchewan Cattlemen Association District Meetings this week.
 
Griffin telling producers that some Cattlemen who enrolled in calf portion of the risk management program are now seeing the benefits:
 
"Now we've got this volatility out there. We're now paying out on some calf claims, as well as some feeder claims- so the program is responding. Our program fundamental is meant to be market-driven and it's responding to producers," Griffin said.
