Understanding Livestock Insurance in Texas
If you run a livestock operation in Texas, you know how much you’ve invested in your animals. Whether you’re raising cattle, horses, sheep, goats, or poultry, these animals represent a big part of your business and livelihood. At Rollo Insurance, we understand the day-to-day realities and challenges of managing livestock in Texas, and we’re here to help you protect your investment with the right insurance coverage.
What Types of Animals Are Typically Covered by Livestock Insurance?
Livestock insurance can cover a wide variety of animals, including:
- Beef and dairy cattle of all ages and breeds
- Horses, from workhorses to breeding stock and performance animals
- Swine, both breeding stock and market hogs
- Sheep raised for meat or wool
- Goats, including dairy and meat breeds
- Poultry such as chickens, turkeys, and ducks raised for eggs or meat
- Specialty or exotic animals like llamas or alpacas, depending on your needs
Your specific policy will detail which animals are covered and any restrictions.
Types of Coverage That Matter for Your Livestock
The right coverage helps manage risks that come with raising livestock, such as:
- Mortality insurance for animals that die from accidents, illness, theft, or natural disasters
- Specified peril coverage tailored to your particular risks
- All-risk coverage for broader protection against unexpected losses
- Transit insurance to cover animals during transportation
- Emergency surgical expense coverage for necessary veterinary procedures
- Loss of use insurance, especially for performance horses
- Liability coverage if your animals cause injury or property damage
We’ll help you decide which options make sense for your operation.

Insurance premiums vary depending on:
- The types and breeds of animals you raise
- Their value and age
