Livestock Gross Margin Insurance for Cattle provides protection against a decline in the cattle feeding margin by simultaneously hedging the corn and feeder cattle input costs and the fed cattle selling price as a bundled option. Livestock Gross Margin Insurance for Swine does the same thing by creating a bundled option by simultaneously hedging the corn and soybean meal input costs and the swine selling price against a decline in the swine finishing margin.
This study guide is presented in five chapters with a short quiz following each chapter (answers are provided); multiple examples of insurance forms; and multiple figures of cattle LGM indemnities.
