Insurance to protect livestock - and your peace of mind

Looking ahead to a busy 2026 for Pedigree Sales, farmers and breeders will be preparing their livestock for the upcoming markets

- 

Alongside the hustle and bustle of buying and selling pedigree animals, there is a requirement of robust protection to ensure the farmer doesn’t lose out financially - whether the vendor or purchaser.

Specialist livestock insurance proves vital in these situations, as Amy Scott, Agricultural Team Leader at H&H Insurance Brokers explains.

WHY INSURANCE MATTERS AT LIVESTOCK MARKETS

Insurance brokers specialising in agriculture and rural business, such as H&H Insurance Brokers, have long supported farmers at auction marts. To ensure vendors and purchasers get better cover, more competitive rates and easier to access information, we recently revamped our H&H in-Livestock Insurance product. Livestock sales involve significant financial commitments. Whether you're selling a prized pedigree ram or investing in a pedigree bull, there are many risks involved. Things to consider include accidents during transit, sudden illness or even theft. Having comprehensive livestock insurance ensures that, if the unexpected happens, the farmers’ or breeders’ investment – and ultimately their livelihood – is safeguarded.
