Livestock Transit Insurance
Cover for animals during transport — saleyards, between properties, to processing plants, and at agricultural events.
What Does Livestock Transit Insurance Cover?
Livestock transit insurance covers your animals while they are being transported, loaded, unloaded, and held at intermediate points like saleyards and show grounds. Accidents, overturns, and animal injuries during transport are significant risks for NZ farmers moving stock regularly. Transit cover can be purchased as part of a farm policy or as a standalone product for specific high-value movements.
