Since 1972, National Livestock Insurance Agency has been dedicated to one thing only: livestock insurance. Based in Amarillo, Texas, this family-owned company serves clients in over 20 states. That includes hardworking ranchers in Guymon, Oklahoma.
When your investment walks on four legs, you need protection that moves fast and knows the risks. Whether you're raising show cattle, breeding high-performance bulls, or hauling prized bucking bulls across state lines, you face challenges most insurance providers don't even think about. That’s where National Livestock Insurance steps in.
Guymon sits in the heart of the Oklahoma Panhandle. It's home to cattle ranchers, rodeo families, and stock contractors who raise some of the toughest bulls in the country. Livestock here isn't just an asset. It's part of the family. A prize-winning show steer or a proven breeder can take years to raise, and one accident can set you back more than just dollars.
Oklahoma weather doesn’t help. Tornadoes, hail, floods, lightning, and drought are all part of life in the region. We've seen ranchers lose animals to fire, theft, vehicle accidents, and even electrocution from fallen power lines. One customer from outside of Guymon lost three show heifers when lightning hit a barn. His policy helped him get back on his feet without starting over from scratch.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all coverage. Livestock owners in Guymon can choose policies that protect animals from the moment they’re loaded onto a trailer until they reach the arena or auction barn.
Our coverage options include:
One rancher near Texhoma called us after losing a breeding bull during a freak trailer rollover. That bull had been collected and used in multiple programs across the region. Our policy helped him recover the financial loss, but more than that, he didn’t have to fight a long battle to get paid. We believe in quick, fair claims.
We know show cattle aren't just for ribbons. They are investments in reputation, youth programs, and future breeding. From 4H kids to seasoned competitors, the time and money spent on grooming, feeding, and hauling these animals is no small thing.
We also understand the world of bucking bulls. These animals are athletes. They travel across the country for rodeos and events. A single injury can pull a bull out of the circuit for good. Breeding bulls in this class carry high genetic value and often have semen stored for future use. That means one loss can affect more than just the ranch it happened on.
In Guymon, with its strong ties to the Pioneer Days Rodeo and deep roots in cattle culture, it’s common to see breeders working with bulls worth tens of thousands. If you’re one of them, you know the risk doesn’t stop at the gate. That’s why we built policies that respect the care and expertise you bring to your operation.
We’ve partnered with The Hartford for decades. They hold an A+ rating from AM Best, which means your claim is backed by a company with a long track record of financial strength. When disaster hits, we don't vanish behind fine print. You deal with people who understand livestock, not just insurance.
That partnership matters. In Guymon, neighbors still believe in handshakes, but it helps to know your policy is secured by one of the most reputable names in the business. We've helped ranches in the area recover from winter blizzards and even barn collapses. Those moments test everything.
We’re not a national chain trying to understand ranch life from a skyscraper. We’re in Amarillo. We’ve stood on the dirt at livestock shows. We’ve helped haul panels at junior rodeos. Our family has fed show calves before school and driven bulls to state finals. When you call us, you don’t get passed around. You talk to someone who’s been there.
That matters in places like Guymon. Whether you run a small herd for your kids’ show projects or manage a full-scale breeding operation, you deserve a team that speaks your language. We love hearing about your wins and seeing your stock photos on Facebook. Our clients become part of our extended livestock family.
We make it easy. Give us a call and tell us about your operation. We’ll walk you through options and help you decide what coverage fits best. No pressure. Just straight answers. If you’re buying new stock or headed to an event, we can usually issue a policy in 24 hours or less.
Even better, if you’re part of a larger family operation or running commercial livestock too, we can build packages that protect both sides. That includes pasture cattle, dairy animals, and show stock under the same umbrella.
Nobody wants to use insurance. We get that. But every season brings new risks. A cracked axle on the trailer. A fast-moving fire. A theft during the night before a show. These are real things that have happened to folks just like you. Having coverage means you don’t lose everything when life throws a curveball.
In Guymon, where cattle ranching is more than a job, it’s a way of life, National Livestock Insurance provides peace of mind built on decades of trust.
We’re proud to stand with the families who raise the bulls, train the stock, and keep America’s livestock heritage alive. Let us help protect what you’ve built.
In infants, a tight tongue or lip tie can make breastfeeding painful or ineffective, leading to poor latch, nipple pain, and inadequate nutrition. This can cause stress for new parents and may require intervention to ensure the baby gets enough nourishment.
For older children and adults, restricted tongue movement can interfere with clear speech. Certain sounds require the tongue to move freely, and a tie can cause speech impediments or delays. Addressing the tie early can help improve speech development.
Limited tongue mobility can hinder proper cleansing of the mouth, leading to increased risk of cavities and gum issues. Lip ties can also contribute to gaps or misalignment of teeth over time.
Traditional methods of releasing ties involved cutting the frenulum with scissors or scalpels, which could be uncomfortable and require longer healing times. Today, laser technology offers a safer, less invasive alternative with several benefits.
Laser release procedures are quick, often performed in just a few minutes, and typically involve minimal discomfort. Because the laser cauterizes as it cuts, there’s less bleeding, swelling, and chance of infection. Most patients experience a smoother recovery and less post-procedure pain.
At Brady Dental Group in Amarillo, Texas, the team uses advanced laser technology to perform lip and tongue tie releases. The process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's oral structures and movement. Once the need for release is confirmed, the procedure is done in a comfortable office setting.
The dentist gently uses the laser to carefully cut the restrictive frenulum, freeing up the tissue. Because the laser is precise, surrounding tissues are preserved, and the risk of trauma is minimized. In many cases, especially with infants, the procedure is performed with little to no anesthesia, making it a quick and efficient solution.
After the laser release, patients may experience some mild discomfort or soreness, which typically resolves within a few days. Brady Dental Group in Amarillo, Texas, guides exercises or stretches to help prevent the frenulum from reattaching and to promote healing. For babies, nursing can often resume immediately after the procedure, and for older children and adults, normal activities can usually be resumed shortly afterward.
Brady Dental Group is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality dental care tailored to each patient’s needs. Their team is experienced in performing laser releases for lip and tongue ties and understands the importance of a comfortable, minimally invasive treatment.
