Insurance might not be the most exciting part of running a ranch, but it can make or break your operation when things go wrong. In this episode, host John Haskell sits down with Julie Davidson, resident insurance expert, to unpack smart insurance moves and what every rancher should know about coverage, deductibles, and managing risk in a shifting market. Julie explains how rethinking your deductible could save you serious money, how to weigh the pros and cons of filing a claim, and what to look for when choosing between replacement cost and actual cash value coverage. Whether you’re protecting your ranch, your vehicles, or your home, this episode will help you stay covered (and smart), no matter what the market brings.
