Transportation
Perhaps one of the greatest exposures that cattle have to loss and one which occurs on a daily basis throughout the U.S. is exposure to Death or Injury while being transported.
The usual mode of transportation is a specially designed livestock trailer which can be partitioned to separate large and small animals.

include Livestock which is owned by the insured and transported via a gooseneck trailer or Farm truck.
Caution: be sure to read the Farm Auto Policy to be sure that coverage under this form is not limited to only Dead livestock which is involved in an accident.
Check that limits per head follow the changing livestock market values.

Transit Limited Coverage this type of insurance is Limited to the
Specific Perils of Fire, Lightning, Collapse of Bridges or Culverts and Collision or Upset.

What is unique to the coverage is that should a loss occur due to a covered specified peril
The insurance is expanded when compared to a Farm Auto Policy to include Dead and Crippled Livestock.
In some cases it also will pay for Round up fees to gather the cattle following a Specified loss and will purchase the entire load of Livestock should the shipper deny the balance of the load of cattle.
63
.www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Transportation
Transit/Cargo Insurance is a Broad Form Transit Policy.
This form is expanded to include not only the perils of Fire, lightning, Collapse of Bridges and Culverts and Collision or upset but it also provides coverage for livestock which is basically being transported down a road and suddenly is jostled and gets down in the trailer and is killed or crippled.
64
.www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Transportation
The policy states in essence that “if the Livestock is loaded in good condition it will be unloaded in the same, like condition”.
Premium for this type of coverage can be expensive but it does provide the most extensive coverage for the Livestock hauler.
