Bob Yes they are according to Michigan Farm Bureau standards. I have been over this a couple of times with my agent. A while back someone on here found out their liability did not cover anything with the deer portion of their farm, and their insurance company would not insure them for this. I again checked with my agent and the same rules apply to deer as it does for cattle or any other livestock. As stated before I do not have my deer insured, as Roger stated above I don't think it is worth the cost, when I basically raise shooter bucks and sell very few does. Like Roger said it will not cover for disease. We did not get into it to much because I was not interested in insuring them. I have a good friend that is a State Farm Agent, and they absolutely do not insure Cervid Farms.
Hi Denny,
It doesn't sound as if this would be applicable to you, since you only raise shooter bucks, but if you have any animals that are critical to the propagation of your herd (e.g. a prized breeder buck or doe),
Archangel Specialty has a new insurance product that is designed specifically for this purpose. Our policies cover disease, bacterial infection, parasite, accidental trauma, anesthesia, transportation, and theft. We do not, however, cover "government slaughter diseases" such as CWD or malicious injury. If you would like to learn more about our
Wildlife Breeders insurance program, here is the link to our website:
http://archangelspecialty.com/programs/wildlife-breeders/ I would also be more than happy to answer your questions on this forum.
This new product is currently only available in Wisconsin, but we expect to roll it out in Texas, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Ohio over the next month or so. If successful, we intend to expand into additional locations (perhaps Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, Alabama, etc.).
Our toll free number is
1-800-575-9628. Please let us know if we can help you or any of your friends.
All the best,
Chris Whiddon
