Ranch Manager Duane Daskam oversees two Colorado ranches that have little in common other than being in the same state. More than 1,000 head of cattle travel 150 miles twice a year between the Stirrup Ranch at 9,000 feet in altitude and the Golden Stirrup Ranch at 4,500 feet in altitude. One of the most challenging aspects of his job is navigating the weather extremes at the alpine ranch and occasional drought through the prairieland at the other.<\/p>\n
Though Daskam had more than 20 years of ranch management experience when he came to the ranches five years ago, Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Coverage<\/a> (PRF) insurance was new to him and he was introduced by Silveus Insurance Group (Silveus) Agent Aaron Tattersall<\/a> to a program already in place at the ranch.<\/p>\n \u201cUnderstanding the ins and outs of PRF and PRF Strategy was a learning experience and something I was excited to be a part of,\u201d said Daskam. \u201cAaron navigated us through each weather extreme to make this a profitable program for us. As a result, risk management is a really important part of our business plan now.\u201d<\/p>\n Daskam relies on Tattersall\u2019s expertise and superior customer service to help him fine tune the PRF program with a good PRF Strategy every year. The pair meet in the fall to go over both historical and predicted climate data and come up with a plan for the upcoming year, which must be in place by November. \u201cThe weather changes year in and year out, so I talk to Duane to understand his goals and how he wants to adjust his plans every fall to work best for his operations,\u201d said Tattersall. \u201cWe\u2019ll begin talking about updates for the following year over the summer including long range forecasts.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt gives me peace of mind knowing that when one or both of the ranches are experiencing drought and are producing less grass we have this program in place and it will compensate us for those losses,\u201d said Daskam. \u201cWe then have the money to buy hay if needed; it just gives us more options.\u201d<\/p>\n Call 800-531-9909<\/a> to find out about PRF and other Silveus risk management products and bookmark our blog<\/a> to stay up-to-date on news and insights that impact your operations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[77,76,67,79,82,80,75,81,78,27,28],"class_list":["post-1727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-cargill","tag-crop-insurance","tag-farming","tag-farms","tag-forage-coverage","tag-pasture","tag-prf","tag-rangeland","tag-risk-management","tag-silveus","tag-silveus-insurance-group"],"yoast_head":"\n
