Western announces $52.5m livestock insurance acquisition

Western Investment Company announced on October 19, 2026 that it had signed an agreement to acquire Canadian Farm Insurance Corp. and Stockmens Insurance for a combined $52.5 million. The businesses specialize in livestock transit and mortality coverage. Western also proposed a roughly $50 million private placement to fund the deal. Alberta insurance regulatory approval, exchange acceptance and other closing conditions remain outstanding, and closing is expected in early 2027. This is an announced transaction, not a completed acquisition.
