What happens if the U.S. border is closed to Canadian cattle again – will CPIP policies that I am holding be honored?
A. Yes, CPIP policies that you are holding will be honored regardless of what causes Alberta prices (or basis levels) to drop. CPIP coverage levels and premiums fluctuate on a daily basis with market conditions, and therefore would likely adjust to new levels in the event of a border closure (but this would not affect policies that you purchased prior to the event).
