In the Texas Panhandle, few towns represent the heart of livestock production like Dumas. With its strong ranching roots, feedlot operations, and daily transport of animals, the town plays a vital role in the state's beef industry. That makes it even more important to protect your investment. That’s why it's great news that National Livestock Transit Insurance is available in Dumas, Texas.
Now, local cattlemen, haulers, and ranchers can get livestock-specific insurance that travels with them, backed by an agency that knows livestock inside and out.
Every time livestock leaves your property, your risk increases. Whether they’re being hauled to a sale barn, another ranch, a feedlot, or across state lines, animals are exposed to dangers that are out of your control. Mechanical failure, trailer accidents, extreme weather, and even theft can turn a routine haul into a costly disaster.
National Livestock Transit Insurance is built to help you avoid losing everything in those situations. It’s different from farm insurance or general vehicle coverage. This is designed just for livestock in transit.
If you live and work in or around Dumas, you know the area’s busy livestock flow. The roadways around Moore County are used daily for hauling cattle to major markets in Amarillo, Dalhart, and beyond. Having a policy that covers those trips gives you peace of mind and financial protection.
National Livestock Insurance Agency is not just another insurer. It’s a family-owned business based in Amarillo, Texas, just down the road from Dumas. Since 1972, this agency has focused only on livestock insurance. That means every policy is written with real-world ranching experience in mind.
The company works closely with producers, auction barns, and haulers across the state. They understand the pressure of making deliveries on time and the stress of watching a trailer full of high-value animals hit the highway.
With that kind of background, they’ve built policies that match how Texas ranchers operate. That includes flexibility for different operation sizes, quick claims support, and fair premiums for honest people.
Insurance is only useful if it pays out when you need it. That’s why National Livestock Insurance has partnered with The Hartford, a trusted national carrier that holds an A+ rating from AM Best. This ensures that when something happens, your claim won’t get stuck in red tape.
You’re not just protected by a family business. You’re also backed by a large, well-funded provider that can respond quickly and settle claims fairly. That balance is what sets this coverage apart from others.
When a trailer rolls over or an animal is injured during transit, time matters. These policies are designed for fast response and clear communication, which means less stress for the rancher and quicker recovery.
When you get transit insurance, your livestock is covered from the time they’re loaded onto the trailer until they arrive at their final destination. That includes any reasonable stops or holding points along the way.
Depending on the policy, coverage may include:
This kind of coverage is essential when you’re transporting high-value bulls, show animals, or feeder cattle that represent months of work and investment.
