Inclement weather can cause newborn calves and other livestock to freeze or become smothered and trampled. These death losses can cause an emotional and financial burden for livestock producers, especially after last year’s harsh calving season. Minnesota Farm Service Agency Executive Officer Dan Mohoney reminds producers to document loss for compensation through the Livestock indemnity Program. “We need documentation of what livestock were lost and it doesn’t have to be complex. We also recommend producers take pictures of the lost livestock for visual proof.” Livestock producers must file a notice of loss within 30 days of when it took place.
