                    <p>The Livestock Gross Margin for Cattle (LGM-Cattle) Insurance Policy provides protection against the loss of gross margin (market value of livestock minus feeder cattle and feed costs) on cattle. The indemnity at the end of the 11-month insurance period is the difference, if positive, between the gross margin guarantee and the actual gross margin. The LGM-Cattle Insurance Policy uses futures prices to determine the expected gross margin and the actual gross margin. Prices for LGM-Cattle are based on simple averages of Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group futures contract daily settlement prices and are not based on the prices you receive at the market.</p>
<p>A premium subsidy is available for those policies that insure multiple months during the insurance period. The subsidy amount is determined by a dollar deductible that you choose (ranges from $0-$150 in $10 increments). If you choose a $0 deductible you receive a lower premium subsidy (18 percent) and if you choose the highest deductible of $150 you receive a higher premium subsidy (50 percent). The premium is due at the end of the coverage period. LGM premiums depend on your marketing plan, coverage you choose, deductible level, and futures and price volatility.</p>

                    <p>You can sign up for LGM-Cattle each week and insure all of the production that you expect to market over a rolling 11-month insurance period. LGM-Cattle is sold on the Thursday of the week when the coverage prices and rates are posted on the RMA website and ends at 9:00 AM Central Time of the following day. Your premium payment is due at the end of the insurance period. If expected gross margins and feed prices are not available on the RMA website or if the Thursday of the sales period is a federal holiday, LGM-Cattle will not be offered for sale for the insurance period.</p>
<p>The insurance period contains the 11 months following the sales closing date. For example, the insurance period for the January 29 sales closing date contains the months of February through December. Coverage begins the second month of the insurance period, so the coverage period for this example is March through December.</p>
