Managing Market Volatility with Livestock Price Insurance (Webinar Recording)

Cattle markets can be unpredictable, and many producers are looking for practical ways to manage price risk in uncertain times. In this recorded webinar, Brett Hassard, Livestock Price Insurance (LPI) Product Coordinator with AFSC, explains how Livestock Price Insurance works and how it can be used as part of a risk management strategy for beef operations.

LPI is designed to act as a price protection tool, allowing producers to lock in a minimum “floor price” for their cattle. This session walks through the basics of LPI, including how it functions, who it may be a good fit for, and how cow-calf, backgrounding, and finishing operations can use it to help protect their bottom line while maintaining flexibility.

The webinar was originally delivered on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 (12:30–1:30 PM) and focuses on real-world considerations relevant to Western Canadian producers.
