    Most people assume cattle buying is a business that takes decades to break into.

    75. Are Your Cattle Covered? Trucking Risks in a High-Price Market with Julie Davidson

    When cattle prices climb to levels few of us have ever seen, the dollar value of a single load can quietly double, or even triple. And while most ranchers wouldn’t dream of driving uninsured, many are still hauling cattle with cargo coverage that hasn’t been updated in years. Are your cattle covered? In this episode, Julie Davidson of High Country Coverage Consulting returns to walk us through the real risks and the practical steps every rancher should take before cattle hit the road. From radius limits and VIN-specific coverage to knowing who’s responsible when a neighbor hauls your calves, this is a timely conversation for a high-price market.
