Livestock Theft Cover
Protection against the theft of livestock from your property — increasingly important as stock theft rises in NZ.
What Does Livestock Theft Cover Cover?
Livestock theft is a growing problem in rural New Zealand, with organised rustling operations targeting sheep, cattle, and deer. Theft cover compensates you for the market or agreed value of stolen animals. Cover can be arranged for all livestock types and typically requires reasonable security measures to be in place. Electronic tagging (NAIT tags) can assist with recovery and claims.
