Cow calf operators in Saskatchewan are evaluating their options with the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program.
The risk management tool is designed to protect operators from any price declines for calves born in the spring and marketed in the fall.
Last year, the Calf Program paid out $4.4 million dollars over 6 weeks.
Jodie Griffin the Program Co-ordinator for the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program in Saskatchewan.
"They are just so appreciative there is a program here such as this price risk program in this insurance program that is there and available to protect some of that risk potential that could be there."
Producers interested in purchasing the calf price insurance program must do so before the May 31st deadline.
