This bill adds help for farmers and ranchers when pregnant animals die from disasters. It expands the Livestock Indemnity Program so losses of unborn animals are covered, starting with losses on or after January 1, 2025. Payments go to eligible producers when deaths are above normal levels due to things like severe weather, disease, or animal attacks. The USDA sets the payment rate, capped at up to 85% of the rate for the smallest livestock weight class, and uses species-based factors to calculate the final amount .
