Tomorrow - May 31st is the deadline to purchase your calf price insurance through the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program.
Already by Mid-April producers had purchased 97 policies in 2016 for the calf program.
Calf price insurance is designed to protect against price declines on calves born in the spring and marketed in the fall.
Program Co-ordinator Jodie Griffin says last year, the calf program paid out $4.4 million dollars over a 6 week period while the feeder program paid out $360 thousand.
