About this resource

This program provides financial aid to livestock farmers who suffer grazing losses caused by drought or fire. The eligible livestock includes beef cattle, dairy cattle, buffalo, bison, beefalo, water buffalo, equines, goats, sheep, alpacas, ostriches, emus, deer, elk, caribou/reindeer, and llamas that are kept for commercial farming purposes.

Intake Procedure: Check the website for details.

Fees: Compensation is determined by the intensity of the drought as assessed by the U.S. Drought Monitor and the total number of livestock units. For losses due to fire, compensation is calculated based on the number of qualifying livestock and the grazing days that were lost.

  • Eligible are livestock producers who own or lease grazing land in regions impacted by qualifying drought or fire.

Documents you may need

  • Proof of grazing losses as of the date of designated drought, grazing leases or permits, proof of land ownership, and livestock inventory information.
