Care, Custody, and Control of Non-Owned Livestock

Even if you’re not the owner of the animals you’re caring for, having insurance is crucial. It’s particularly important for those who manage livestock or poultry due to contractual obligations, offer horse boarding services, or are responsible for animals on a temporary basis, such as for breeding purposes. 

Westfield provides a specific insurance option that helps cover you if any non-owned animals under your care are harmed or die. This coverage is also applicable if the animals are affected by equipment failures or power outages that disrupt the environmental controls, such as temperature and air flow, within their housing.
