The winter of 2017- 2018 in Montana was particularly severe and most of the losses did not occur due to any single event Livestock loss claims were estimated to be 11,000 claves, more than 1,500 adult bulls and cows, and more than 1,000 other livestock animals. These are only the claims that are filed, the letter states. As you know, the LIP plays an integral role in helping producers recover from excessive losses due to adverse weather. The LIP is designed to help with such losses and we ask you to reconsider your position regarding the request to consider this past winter as a qualifying event.
