Customized protection for your operation
What is ranch insurance?
Ranch insurance is specialized coverage designed for livestock operations and extensive acreage. Unlike standard homeowners insurance, it addresses ranching-specific risks, including livestock mortality, equipment protection, and agricultural liability. Each policy is customized to your operation's unique needs.
Coverage Areas
What does ranch insurance cover?
Property Protection
Your ranch structures, residence, and improvements are protected against covered perils. Coverage includes barns, outbuildings, fencing, and landscaping with appropriate limits for your operation.
Machinery and Equipment
Protection for tractors, hay equipment, irrigation systems, and other essential ranch machinery. High-value items can be specifically scheduled while smaller equipment receives blanket coverage.
Livestock Coverage
Comprehensive mortality protection for cattle and other ranch animals against storms, accidents, disease, and predator attacks. Extended options cover transportation risks and natural disasters. If your livestock depend on pasture or hay ground, PRF insurance can complement your livestock coverage by protecting against the rainfall shortfalls that reduce your forage supply
Equine Protection
Specialized coverage for horses including mortality, medical expenses, surgical costs, and loss of use. Coverage varies based on each horse's role—whether working stock, breeding animals, or show horses.
Complete Protection for Your Operations
Ranch liability protection.
Comprehensive liability coverage protects against claims from livestock handling, property access, and ranching activities. Includes protection for transportation accidents, visitor injuries, and damage to neighboring properties.

FAQs
Common questions about ranch insurance.
Does ranch insurance cover leased ground?
Coverage for leased ground varies by policy. We review your lease agreements as part of our coverage assessment to make sure you're protected on land you operate but don't own — a common gap in standard policies.
Is livestock mortality coverage included?
Livestock mortality can be added as part of a comprehensive ranch policy. We'll walk through your herd composition and help you determine the right level of coverage for your animals.
Do you work with both cow-calf and stocker operations?
Yes. We work with a range of cattle operations across the PNW including cow-calf, stocker, and backgrounding operations. Each has different risk profiles and we build coverage accordingly.
