[QUOTE="PAaugus, post: 1284878, member: 24323"] Well I made first page on the 10/10/2015 Lancaster Farming Newspaper. Story tells my side and and the owner's story. In his side, he states he carries insurance with LMA . But I have a email from LMA where they state he doesn't have an insurance policy with them! Second he states that "some sale barns charge for animal disposal" BUT the staff writer states I. J. Perez, a GIPSA spokesman states " They may not bill a farmer for disposing of an animal that dies at the auction " In the story, it states Greencastle charges 6 cents /$100.00 on every animal's sale price that reimbures the owner if the animal accidentally dies. Mr. Jeff Craig also stated in another sentence that " It’s certainly a relief to know that the farmer or producer is not going to be out completely " I don't know how to take this statement? He states "Only good healthy livestock are insured, but we charge it on every head" Then he states if an animal gets out or breaks a leg, it is covered. Finally, he makes it sound like most farmers don't ask for documentation when an animal dies, meaning farmers are bringing in cows that they thought might die. ( which is the reason for this entire post, I didn't have any reason to supect that there was anything wrong with my cow. ) I was slightly dissapointed because in the end the story doesn't tell farmers to check out their sale barn polices. It didn't suggest that Sale Barns should have to show proof of death. Please Check to see if your animals are covered! Craig did state that they lose about 4 a week out of 600 head. Does anybody know why a man would paid to have 4 dead cows a week hauled away and buried???? 200 cows a year?? a guess $50- $100 each? That's $10,000 to $20,000 per year, thats POOR business or there 's more to it. What's your thoughts?? [/QUOTE]
