Leachman Reps are Cattlemen that use Leachman Elite $Profit sires to build profitable cow herds for generations to come! “No doubt, AI’ing every cow and heifer to high $Profit Leachman sires is the most profitable management practice we do for the Rempe herd.” ~ Sam Rempe Rempe Farms Superior, NE

There is arguably no faster or more efficient way to capture extra value from your cow herd than to AI to proven top $Profit sires and use sons of these elite bulls for natural service. I know this first-hand, because my family implements these strategies – and they work! As the Semen Cooperative Manager, my goal is for this system to provide: • Trouble free delivery of high quality semen. • Semen and bull selection assistance from reps that know these bulls because they use these bulls. • Professional synchronization and custom AI options. • Marketing strategy assistance for the resulting calves. Invest in the elite herd sires on the following pages with confidence!

We want to earn your business!

To us “Earning Your Business” means developing the best products, systems and services possible. This Company has a long-standing history of finding, developing and making efficient use of the most profitable tools in the industry. Please take time to study this Directory and Reference Guide. We have tried to fill these pages with valuable information that will help you build a breeding program that is both profitable and perpetual. Genetics impact nearly everything we deal with on a cattle operation. By developing genetic evaluations that include cost and efficiency values, we are supplying the tools that allow you to strengthen your business on both sides of the financial ledger (cost and production).

There is no doubt that our $Profit system is working. I see rapid, continuous improvement in the bulls we produce, in our seedstock cowherds, in the herds of the other seedstock producers using $Profit, and in the herds of our commercial customers. I urge you to try semen on these top bulls – it is the quickest and easiest way to see for yourself the significant results that come from selecting with $Profit. How are we changing herds? • The cows are getting more moderate and have less feed requirements. They are breeding back easier and raising great calves.

Points to study in this Guide: • Top breeders’ Testimonials on our Sires and Systems. • Concise, Profit driven data on each sire – with noteworthy comments. • Straight forward Data Explained Section on how to use this information. • $Profit Q & A Section by Lee Leachman on this genetic systems approach. • Rep Section- Our Reps know these bulls because they use these bulls! They provide local and regional sales and service for both semen and bulls. Synchronization and custom AI services available in most regions. • Dates and details on our ten central and regional Bull Sales for 2019.

• The feeder calves are high gainers in the feedlot and they beat the competition with over $0.05 / pound savings on feed cost. Plus, they reach heavy market weights without an excess of yield grade fours. • The carcass quality and yield is unprecedented. We are producing some of the heaviest muscled calves in the industry – while still grading over 90% choice and over 30% CAB and higher. Simply put, the combination of traits that come from selection for $Profit is putting more money into our customer’s pockets! We hope we can earn your business this breeding season.

On behalf of our Leachman Staff and Rep Team, we invite you to compare and consider our Sires and Services. We look forward to working with you in 2019. – Gary Rolland Semen Cooperative Director

Leachman Bulls are Winning the Hearts of Cattlemen… “You can see, in real time, the living proof of why our Leachmansired calves topped the mid-September Fort Smith Livestock Auction Co., Moffett, OK.”

~ Brett Foster

Booneville, AR

“Our cattle set high standards! Our herd is efficient, high-grading and high yielding – but the cows produce on extensive Wyoming native rangeland. Our calves have the flexibility to optimize heavier carcass weights and premium quality grades without excessive yield grade 4’s and 5’s." ~ Mike Healy L U Ranch, Worland, WY

2016 Cull Heifer Feeding Results 61 cull heifers • 136 days on feed Performance: ADG 4.95 / day Final weight 1515 lbs. Carcass weight 960 lbs. Quality: 97% Choice or higher 57% premium choice or better Efficiency: Converted at 5.64 to 1 Cost of gain (all in) of $0.66

These top breeders use $Profit! “$Profit… is the most sustainable index which reflects profitability from conception to consumer.”

~ Rob Thomas, Thomas Angus, Baker City, OR Angus

“$Profit works. It takes a multitude of numbers and so much info… and simplifies them into one or two numbers. When helping customers, it is less confusing. It is so easy to talk about when you believe in it.” ~ Bill Slovek, Slovek Ranch, Phillip, SD Angus Composites & Hybrids

“$Profit is ten times better than any other index for my Red Angus. My high $Profit genetics top our sale.” ~ Neil Hueftle, Hueftle Red Angus, Cozad, NE Red Angus & Hybrids

“Coming out of the swine business, our interest in $Profit was that we found it more advantageous using indexes and just one or two numbers to guide our herd’s breeding decisions.” ~ Brian Dunn, Sandy Knoll Farms, St. Johns, KS Gelbvieh & Balancer

“I find $Profit the best index in the industry to describe our cattle for all birth to feedlot traits to assist our customers.”

~ Ryan Ludvigson, Ludvigson Stock Farm Billings, MT, Red Angus & Hybrids “We made a large investment to measure feed efficiency; however, we needed a place to genetically evaluate this new mountain of information for our Angus, Red Angus & SimAngus cattle. The $Profit Team is doing an amazing job of providing us with accurate EPDs that are comparable across all of our breeds plus EPDs for new traits like feed efficiency and Profit. I have confidence in the team of geneticists at the University of Guelph, Canadian Dairy Network, and BIO in Ontario Canada who use sound-science with the $Profit provides this accurate, third-party, genetic evaluation. Getting our data evaluated by the $Profit team is like getting a second opinion on a major business decision or medical procedure. I consider it one of the smartest business decisions we have made to help us identify and multiply genetics that enhance our customer’s profitability and sustainability in the cattle business.” ~ Donnell Brown, R.A. Brown Ranch, Throckmorton, TX Angus, Red Angus, Simmental & Hybrids Page 5

Leachman Elite Angus - Work in the Real World! “Today, all our bulls are Leachman TopLine bulls. We buy only high $Profit bulls with good ribeye, marbling, and feed efficiency.” ~ Murray Keeler Animas, NM

The families of Murray Keeler and his daughter, Amanda, ranch in New Mexico’s bootheel-shaped SW corner. The ‘corridor’ is noted for a variety of high desert wildlife, including cougars, Gould turkeys and big horned sheep.

From: Murray Keeler – keelerranch.com Date: 8/23/18 To: Lee Leachman <Lee@leachman.com> Subject: Thank you Lee, Hope all is well with you. I wanted to send over a quick email to thank you for both the feedback on our website and for getting in touch with some feeders on my behalf. I think highly of your program and I have no doubt they feel the same way, so I can’t help but think that this is one of the reasons we had such a successful sale. I’ve ran the numbers and our calves sold higher than 98% of the other ranchers in the area. In the last few years, we’ve been better than 70% so I’m sure you can understand how pleased we are to have made such a big jump. Making the decision to partner with you has been one, if not THE best business decisions I’ve ever made. I take a lot of pride in the quality of the cattle I produce, and I certainly wouldn’t be able to do it without the genetic quality you provide. Thanks, Murray

“Our Leachman bulls don’t melt!“ “Leachman bulls were better than anything else we had used before. Their confirmation, with more muscle, did not melt off in our rugged country. And they worked really hard! “

“Our Leachman sired replacements more than just compete compared with our F1 females” We’re extremely happy with the cows these high $Profit bulls make. In fact, we like their daughters as well as our F1 cows. They dominate the type of our replacements, equal the F1 performance, make them more uniform, and easier to market… at the top of the market.

“Today, most Angus breeders agree that selection for $Weaning or $Beef (both are standard indexes offered by the American Angus Association) will lead to the production of cattle with too much feed cost. $Ranch and $Profit will reduce your feed cost, while still increasing your output. Simply put, this is a better option.” How $Ranch and $Profit compare to $W and $B.

One of the best ways to assess the usefulness of an index is to study where it will take you in the future. To see this, you simply need to look at the animals that rank at the top of the breed on that index. Both $W and $Ranch attempt to predict the profitability of a commercial cow/calf operation. If we study the top 20 proven sires on $W, we see that they have the following average EPDs: +78 WW ranks in the top 2% +133 YW ranks in the top 3% +.81 DMI ranks in the lowest 90% +31 Milk ranks in the top 10% -23 $EN ranks in the lowest 90% From this, we see that the $W index will point us towards high growth, high milk cattle that eat a lot of feed and have high energy needs. In contrast, our $Ranch index selects for moderate sized cows with high weaning growth, smaller mature size, good fleshing ability, breed average milk, and lower feed intake. We think that most commercial ranchers would find the highest $Ranch cows to be more profitable than the highest $W cows.

– Lee Leachman Partner/Owner Today, many Angus breeders select almost exclusively for the Angus $Beef ($B) index. However, $B is a terminal index and only selects for post weaning traits that affect feedlot and packer profitability. In contrast, $Profit looks at all of the maternal traits plus the terminal traits. If we study the top 20 proven sires on $B, it is easy to see that selection for $B favors: High growth, tall frame, large mature sized cows, high energy ($EN) requirements, heavy carcass weight, good marbling, large ribeye area, and leaner animals with less back fat This type of large, lean animal does not make a highly fertile or easy keeping female. In contrast, $Profit selects for good growth, moderate frame, lower feed intake, less energy requirement, good ribeye, average fat, and very high marbling. We believe that carcass weights are high enough and that the best value for Angus cattle is to focus on making a good cow that produces efficient converting steers that grade prime. Index selection has been proven to work in chickens, pigs, and dairy cows. There is little doubt that it can accelerate the rate of genetic improvement in beef cattle as well. That is why we have decided to use $Ranch and $Profit to select our Angus sires. Page 7

You will be hard pressed to find another bull in the entire breed with a more complete EPD profile as Foundation’s! Interestingly, had we set his EPDs aside, Foundation would still have been our top herd bull pick based on type and kind. This rare combination leads us to believe that this is one of the very top prospects in the breed!

Here is a calving ease prospect that will DRAMATICALLY reduce feed cost on your operation! Not only will this bull’s progeny eat less, but with big time AN growth figures,

they will gain more as well! As the breed trends towards more efficient cattle, it will be very important to not simply select for less appetite. Decided is also appreciated for his perfect 5-star rating for Calving Ease, Growth and Maternal. Physically he has the form of many of the great maternal bulls from Montana like EXT, Right Time, Saugahatchee, and 6807… Look for his daughters to be the kind you use to build a cowherd.

Dusty is one of the top EPD prospects for increased profitability to come out of Australia. He ranks in the top 1% of all Angus in Australia on all four of Angus Australia’s breeding indexes. His combination of top calving ease direct and calving ease maternal, high weaning and yearling growth, short days to calving (fertility), and valuable carcass traits (carcass weight, ribeye area and marbling) make this prospect very unique. We will sample this bull in our own Angus breeding program.

Automatic is a DDF version of his sire, Progress, with less birth and more growth! He was our pick of Angus bulls in 2014 Knoll Crest Farm fall bull sale.

This calving ease herd sire has the great potential to significantly elevate marbling in your herd while maintaining REA, and increasing feed efficiency, all accounting for his top Leachman $Feeder value. Automatic posts excellent Angus numbers across the board; in fact, he is one of the most complete Angus sires in our line up. Phenotypically he is long-bodied, has great feet, and is mild-mannered.

Leachman Elite Red Angus - Work in the Real World! “Using Leachman Red Angus genetics the past 25 years shaped our lives.” • In the mid-1970s we started to study A.I. catalogs and the Red Angus breed. We liked the Red Angus breed’s leadership in mandatory performance registry. • That led us to Leachman Cattle, where we started. In 1989 we bought the best Leachman heifers we could afford, including their top purebred 1B females. We “rolled” whole pens of five heifers by the same sire at premium prices. Those gals stuck around a long time. ~ Karen & LJ Turner Turner Red Angus Gillette, WY

It is our thought that Oracle is one of the very most complete Sires in the Red Angus breed! Breeders across the country agree with this statement, as Oracle will have one of the highest amounts of progeny recorded in 2019. His first set of sons were met with enthusiastic acceptance in 2018. Breeders report that they are sound and attractive with good dimension. We are very impressed with his daughters as well! They possess the femininity and fleshing ability that leads us to believe that they should be at the forefront of the breed’s maternal reputation.

YW MILK SC HT MAT WT REA IMF CAR WT BF

"Oracle is so much more than just a carcass bull as he exhibits amazing growth, combined with excellent calving ease and stayability. What is so exciting is to see this much carcass merit in an animal that has such a deep pedigree for producing outstanding daughters."

Oracle sires very appealing progeny. His daughters are attractive and the sons are highly sought after; like the one above from the 2018 Leachman Spring Sale.

he also has a great marbling and ribeye area combination. Combine these unique antagonisms with a super low Intake all in one pedigree, and the outcome is a top Red Angus $Profit. Not only does Real Deal look good on paper, but he is also smooth made with good feet and a great disposition. He sires progeny that are moderate framed, big barreled, and square hipped. He will build moderate mature females in the mold of EBV, but with added type and kind.

One of the most complete SimAngus herd sires around! Sired by the legendary Protégé, Capitalist is soft made, with good bone and strong good looks. He is a sound bull with good feet and a quiet temperament. Moderate birth, powerful growth, and exceptional carcass qualities all lead up to his Top $Profit. Similar to Trinity, Capitalist is 4-Star calving ease, super attractive, has a top 1% $Ranch, great carcass merit, respectable growth and is even feed efficient – they are unrelated! For SimAngus seedstock producers, Capitalist has breed leading values for CE, BW, MCE, Stay, Doc, Marb, API and TI. The Leachman database agrees with these figures, PLUS has identified his exceptional feed efficiency. We think this homozygous black and polled herd sire fits several sound breeding strategies, both heifers and cows. Owners: Leachman Cattle of Colorado, Hook Farms and Grubl Ranch.

The Trinity legend continues! Rarely does a sire exceed all expectations once

he is proven. Trinity progeny have been tested extensively in our system and we have yet to evaluate a trait where he does not excel. No bull is perfect, but Trinity is absolutely our pick for one of the best balanced, well proven, low birth, high $Profit bulls in the industry. He sires very attractive progeny that have the look of a British animal with the heterosis and performance of a hybrid. Trinity is a legitimate 4-star calving ease bull, yet gives up nothing at weaning with his outstanding birth to yearling spread! He works especially well on British heifers and on British cows that need added muscularity. Trinity is siring some of the most profitable herd sires in the industry, and has produced some of the most sound and productive females in the Leachman system.

YW MILK SC HT MAT WT REA IMF CAR WT BF

Trinity has been a pillar in our breeding program. In our system alone, we have sold well over 500 sons for over three million dollars! Year in and year out, he made herd sire prospects like the two below. Seedstock producers, use this proven sire to produce sale leading bulls and herd building females.

Leachman Elite South Devon The South Devon breed has emerged as the dominant British breed alternative to Angus. With extensive experience breeding South Devon cattle that dates back to our own purebred herd, which started in the 80’s in Montana, we are confident that the South Devon breed is more than competitive on $Profit. Much of this is based on their unique combination of heavy muscling with marbling levels comparable to Angus. In addition, substantial evidence now suggests that the breed excels on feed efficiency. Based on our relentless pursuit of high profitability cattle, we are incorporating the best South Devon bulls available into our Stabilizer composite program. Leachman $Profit™ Indexes

The

$PROFIT

Are all small cows really efficient? There seems to be a big disconnect in today’s beef industry. On sale day we want heavy, high quality steers to pay the bills. The rest of the time we want efficient cows to keep our costs as low as possible. Simply selecting for smaller cows with no regard for feed efficiency is not the answer. Likewise, selecting for shear growth with disregard for cost is just as poor of a strategy. The best way to make your cowherd truly efficient, and your calf crop earn more, is to use Leachman $Profit™. This is the only index in the industry that works on both sides of the ledger (production AND cost). Cows that work! Steers that pay! DATA EXPLAINED

How $Profit works:

What traits are included in $Profit:

Our simulation model then factors in all of the effects on both income and expense to come up with a net profit figure for each bull. $Profit allows you to compare any two bulls and calculate the difference in profit that they are expected to generate in your herd. Let’s compare a $10,000 $Profit bull to $6,000 $Profit bull (the average 2008 born Angus bull). The predicted difference between the bulls is $4,000 or about $40 per calf. $Profit works for us and it will work for you too.

Some traits are not so easily characterized for $Profit. Milk, for example, is a good thing until you get too much. When over +25, milk EPD has a more negative effect on fertility than it has a positive effect on weaning weight. There are a few traits not yet included in $Profit: longevity, structure, and disposition. These traits are important but difficult to express in dollars.

$Profit assumes that the average commercial bull will have 100 progeny over its lifetime. The model assumes that you keep 30% of your heifers as replacements and that you retain ownership on the remainder of the calves through finishing and sell on a grid. We realize that many don’t retain ownership, but doesn’t it make the most sense to select from birth all the way to slaughter? Feedlots have already proven their willingness to pay premiums for superior Leachman sired calves.

$Profit includes nearly every trait that impacts profitability. The effect of most traits on profit is fairly simple to understand. Here is the list of what is included and its effect: Revenue Traits ▪▪ Calving ease = more calves ▪▪ Weaning and yearling EPD = more weight ▪▪ Fertility (days to conception) = more weight and more calves ▪▪ Carcass weight = worth more up to 1050 lbs. ▪▪ Marbling = valued based on grid premiums ▪▪ Ribeye area = value as impacts yield grade ▪▪ % Retail Product = more yield is more meat Cost Traits ▪▪ Cow mature size = in general bigger eats more ▪▪ Cow intake = more intake costs more ▪▪ Feedlot feed efficiency = cost of gain

Star System Explained:

Accuracy: The sire’s level of accuracy is determined by the number of progeny that have been evaluated in the Leachman System.  Several progeny recorded, use with confidence (over 90% accurate).  Pedigree and individual data only (about 30% accurate). Calving Ease: The predicted calving ease if you use the bull on heifers.  The easiest calving bulls in the industry.  Use on smaller heifers with minimal assistance needed.  Use on larger heifers with some assistance expected. (If no stars are shown, the animal is recommended for use on cows only.)

Growth: A formula combines WW and YW to predict how much performance the sire will pass on to their progeny.  Most growth. Maternal: An estimate of the maternal efficiency of the daughters this sire will produce. It includes cow size, milk, fertility and growth.  Keep these heifers! They will make the most profitable females in the business. Feed/Carc: A formula that combines: gain, conversion, carcass weight and carcass merit to predict post weaning performance.  Maximum overall value in your feeder calves. Disposition: An observation of the sires disposition.  You can walk up to and touch.  Average - respects flight zones and handles well, but is not a pet.  Nervous. Page 40

Across Breed Comparisons

Dare to compare: You cannot afford to make mistakes in your breeding program! Choosing to use sires with incomplete or low value data can unknowingly make your herd less profitable – same work, same cost, poor results - unacceptable. Leachman ABC’s are the most reliable and comprehensive EPDs in the industry. They are backed by a large (nearly a million), long-standing (over 30 years), multi-breed (over 15 breeds) database. Using this system assures you of making sound breeding decisions with minimal risk of failure.

Lee Leachman answers FAQ’s about $Profit LEACHMAN Q&A

WHAT IS DOLLAR $PROFIT? “$Profit tells you which bulls’ calves make you the most profit, from birth to slaughter if you retain ownership and keep replacements. It includes the cow traits, fertility, growth, carcass and feed intake. Isn’t that really what you want to know? It’s for sure what you need to know. If you sell your calves at weaning, instead of retaining ownership, you can use our $Ranch.”

WHAT DOES THE SINGLE NUMBER, $PROFIT, DO FOR ME? “$Profit helps you compare what different bulls are worth so you can find the best bull to improve your herd. None of us are smart enough to look at 20+ EPDs and figure out which bull will help us the most. $Profit and $Ranch do that for you. Why would anyone buy something for a business unless you know how much money it will generate in profit for the company? You don’t want to guess. You spend a lot on bulls. You want to buy a bull that will reduce your costs and increase your revenues. The $Profit single number estimates what a bull’s 100 calves (4 years @ 25 calves per year) will generate in net profit compared to an industry average bull. $Ranch does the same thing from birth to weaning. Literally, we run partial budgets and look at how all of the genetic effects impact your bottom line. Here is how you can use it. Say the cost of the average industry bull this year is $4,500. That industry average bull has a $Profit of around $7,500. If you buy a $12,500 $Profit bull for the same price, then you are ahead $5,000!”

Page 42

“First, like most indexes, $Profit takes into consideration output and revenue, but we also include the cost side of the equation. Other indexes ignore the cost and just help you find the cattle with the highest output and revenue. Unfortunately, growth and output always have a cost. I don’t know of a single index that directly includes cow feed intake in the equation like we do. Years ago, farmers learned that you couldn’t just chase more and more output, but that you had to control the inputs and costs. The important goal is more net income or profit, not maximized revenue. Our index helps us and helps our customers raise cattle that cost less… and produce more profit. Second, $Profit recognizes that many traits have ideal levels – more and more or less and less is not what you want. Seedstock breeders like to chase big numbers because it helps them sell cattle. However, our program knows you make more profit when you are at optimum levels for traits like birth weight, milk, and cow size. As an example, more milk is good up to a point. However, too much milk hurts your fertility. Almost all traits are like that. All of the other industry indexes are linear and have not figured out how to find the optimums instead of chasing maximums. Third, our $Profit takes into account hybrid vigor because our customers want and need to crossbreed. Fertility and longevity are huge drivers of cow herd profitability. Many herds are struggling with fertility because they have become too straight bred. A crossbred cow breeds up sooner, is open less often, and lives longer. Crossbreeding can increase pounds weaned per cow exposed by 23% and that drives profit. Our index includes the economics of heterosis.”

HOW GOOD IS THE DATA BEHIND $PROFIT? We have the largest breeder owned data base in the industry with over 750,000 records. Plus, our data is all from top notch, ‘professional breeders.’ We almost always receive complete, whole herd reporting data. Other systems contain data that is partially reported or substantially unreported. Plus, many herds do a very poor job at establishing contemporary groups. If we see that, we remove it from the database. Poor and partial reporting makes for biased data and inaccurate EPD’s. Our own cooperators reported over 9,000 calves in the last year. These calves all come from structured, mostly AI, matings with reference sires and breeds so that all animals, breeds, and producers can be compared. It is like a huge, structured progeny test. This data is heavily AI driven. It also contains thousands of breed comparisons as we use purebred, hybrid, and composite bulls from each of our breeds. Clay Center compares 200 animals of each breed against one another in a single environment with limited use of proven AI sires to derive their breed differences. We compare thousands of animals of each breed and we have heavy use of proven sires in hundreds of different environments. We believe that we have the most accurate across breed comparisons available in the industry. Finally, we do more feedlot and harvest verification than any other seed stock program. We have a number of commercial test herds that breed AI so that we can feed and harvest the progeny. We feed large sire groups to confirm that our feed efficiency EPD’s accurately predict the performance in the feedlot and on the rail. We also collect carcass data to make sure that our ultrasound based predictions are accurate. In all, we harvest several thousand sire identified carcasses per year. We also collect conversion, gain, and carcass weight on over eight thousand Leachman sired calves from customer herds each year. Page 43

LEACHMAN Q&A

HOW DOES $PROFIT DIFFER FROM OTHER MAJOR INDEXES?

HOW GOOD IS THE $PROFIT SYSTEM? If there was a better index than $Profit, we would use it! Each year, we have new seed stock herds that sign up to use $Profit. When we run their herd, they are shocked – shocked by how well we find the best cattle and shocked by the number of bulls they are using that will not improve their herds. Inevitably, $Profit helps them make more rapid genetic improvement and that is why they join our system.

LEACHMAN Q&A

I tell people that all indexes run the risk of quickly taking you to the scene of the accident. That is to say, a bad index quickly creates unexpected and unwanted consequences. Pig producers made pigs too lean. Dairy producers made dairy cows too infertile. As further examples, selection for Angus’ $Beef has produced some very large, inefficient cows in the Angus breed. Selection for Simmental’s API likes some cattle that are not competitive on growth and ribeye area. Ultimately, associations are reluctant to tweak and improve their indexes because breeders have vested interests to keep promoting their high-ranking genetics. We don’t care about any of that – we just want to get the right answer as quickly as possible. Most indexes are designed by scientists who have very little practical experience raising and breeding cattle. Further, the designers of the indexes have no real-world feedback system to see what is happening with the cattle. Our system is driven by master breeders. I eat, sleep, and drink $Profit making sure that it is working properly. Plus, we have dozens of cooperators and master breeders watching the results to make sure that $Profit is taking us in the right direction. We use $Profit for all our breeding decisions. We cannot afford to use a breed or sire that has low $Profit. In our continuous quest for outlier bulls and cows to bring in from the industry, we convert their data into $Profit before we decide to buy or use a bull or female. We use $Profit to select our replacement females and to help make cow culling decisions. You can use $Profit to share in our genetic progress!

$PROFIT SEEMS TO BE GOING UP AND UP. IS THAT REAL AND WILL IT CONTINUE? We are making more rapid genetic progress than any other program in the industry. We know this because we actively compare ourselves. Each year, our cooperators keep the highest heifers as replacements and AI to the highest bulls. So long as we can continue to find higher and higher sires, this trend will continue. There is no doubt that the genetic change is real. Our cows are getting smaller. Our weaning weights are going up. Our feedlot conversion is improving. Our cattle max out the carcass weight range. Plus, they have increasingly high percentages of upper 2/3 choice and prime. Our future depends on $Profit. It is adding profit to our herd and to our customers’ herds. You don’t have to guess whether or not we believe in $Profit – just watch the bulls we use and you will know where we are placing our bets!

Leachman Cattle of Colorado is committed to helping ranchers reduce the losses from brisket disease.

Unfortunately, taking measurements will not solve the problem. Most ranchers know that buying PAP tested bulls reduces the problems with brisket, but most still report losing 3% - 8% of their calves to brisket depending on the year. This level of calf loss is still unacceptable! We believe that the best strategy to reduce brisket disease is to use expected progeny differences (EPDs) for PAP. Think of selecting for low birth weight. Just buying bulls under 80 pounds would help calving ease, but using low birth weight EPD bulls is a much more effective strategy. This is true, because an EPD takes into account much more information. For example, buying a 75 lb. BW bull out of a sire that generally sires very heavy calves is far less likely to be easy calving than is a similar BW bull out of a sire that generally sires light calves. The same is the case with PAP. Our PAP EPD closely relates to the actual PAP score of the bulls as shown in the graph below. The correlation between the PAP scores and the PAP EPDs are 80%. This is typical in a trait like PAP that is 30% heritable. However, as with all EPDs, you can see that some bulls score better or worse on the EPDs than on the actual score. Ranchers concerned with PAP scores should use the EPDs – not the actual PAP scores. It is clear to us that sires with PAP EPD’s over +3 have tremendous death loss on their calves. Sires with +1 or less on PAP EPD are typically considered sires that are “good at altitude.” Use the sires with the “Altitude Approved” logo that are under -1 PAP EPD, to dramatically reduce brisket disease in herds that suffer from significant high altitude disease problems.

Key points to regarding PAP and PAP EPDs: • We have taken 3,515

• •

•

PAP scores (all by Dr. Tim Holt). PAP is 30% heritable. The PAP EPDs reported were calculated by Colorado State University. Selecting bulls using the PAP EPD is FAR more accurate than simply using the PAP scores. Herds that have significant brisket disease should use the lowest PAP EPD bulls.

PAP Score

PAP EPD EXPLAINED

We know from our own cowherds that losing calves to brisket at any time from birth through yearling stage can have significant financial cost. We are convinced that pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) scores are very strong predictors of whether or not animals will have the disease. For this reason, we have collected over 3,515 PAP scores on cattle in our program.

Score = (5.5 x EPD) + 43 R² = 0.80

The Scholz operation is the story of a family succeeding in the cattle business. Steve, a self-made man, is a hands on operator. He likes data and he wants to be financially successful. His first experience with Leachman came from a heifer purchase in 1993. He’s been studying our program ever since.

Steve & Tricia Scholz and family Lincoln County Feedyard, North Platte, NE

Steve earned a master’s degree in nutrition and then put it to work consulting and later managing large feedlots. Eight years ago, he and his wife purchased Lincoln County Feed Yards, just 15 miles north of North Platte, NE. Together, they run the business. Steve is a skilled custom feeder of “calf feds.” He is a stickler for bunk and ration management. His yard is noted for phenomenal animal health and low mortality losses on calves.

When you consider feeding options, we want to help! Kevin Unger explains, “Working for Lincoln County and Leachman is the culmination of my career. I love breeding cattle and feeding cattle. I’ve seen, first hand, the value of genetics. Now I can help ranchers realize their dreams of building better cattle and profiting from their efforts. Steve and Lee are two of the sharpest guys in the business. Together, we can make tremendous progress.” ~ Kevin Unger Oberlin, Kansas 785-470-1131

• Profit driven genetics. • Professional management at ALL levels – breeding to rail. • Agressive, value-driven marketing plan, advantageous to LCoC cutomers.

SIRE SUMMARY

CLR

N024A Bennett Apollo A340

Cows that work– even in the ‘17 drought! Our cows are eating less each year, but performing more… Surprisingly, nothing seems to affect them. ~ Chris Grubl Alkali Ranch Sturgis, SD Grubl has developed a cowherd that thrives on the native grasslands east of Sturgis, SD – without creep feed! The cows make use of the higher protein levels available in the local browse forages.

Page 50

Leachman Stabilizers – 30 years in the making!

• Built on Science: First designed in the 1970’s by USDA ARS scientists at the Meat Animal Research Center as the Marc II composite: ¼ Red Angus, ¼ Hereford, ¼ Simmental, ¼ Gelbvieh. • Privatized: A private herd was developed by Pat Vinton, Gordon, NE and later sold to the Tessari family in Babb, MT – thus becoming the foundation for the Leachman Stabilizer herd.

STABILIZER

• Modernized: From 1988 – 2003, Leachman modernized the Stabilizer composite: ▪ Reduced the birth weight. ▪ Made the cattle solid colored and polled. ▪ Increased the post weaning gain. ▪ Improved convenience traits including disposition and udder quality. ▪ Introduced black lines in addition to the original red lines. ▪ Injected top hybrid and purebred sires form the Angus, Simmental, and Gelbvieh breeds. • Moved to Colorado: In 2003, Leachman Cattle of Colorado was formed with a nucleus of cooperators that included the Tessari herd and several other Stabilizer cooperators. • Selected with $Profit: LCoC began selecting the Stabilizer using $Profit with significant results: ▪ Dramatic further reduction in birth weight while increasing yearling growth. ▪ Significant improvement on marbling to now exceed average marbling Angus cattle. ▪ Substantial selection for reduced feed intake and improved feed efficiency. ▪ All of which coincided with a huge annual progress on $Profit. • Expanded Internationally: In 2016, Leachman offered genetic analysis services to Stabilizer breeders in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. This expansion increased the total Stabilizer herd being selected for $Profit to over 20,000 breeding females. Genetics are now flowing to and from each of these herds – increasing the rate of global selection improvement. Excerpts from a 2001 letter written by Dr. Keith Gregory, Research Geneticist at U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) to Jim Leachman: “Your contributions to beef cattle breeding are unmatched in the history of beef cattle breeding. No one has had a greater impact on beef cattle breeding on a global basis. I have stated on several occasions that no one is implementing more of the available beef cattle breeding technology than Leachman Cattle Company.”

High Country is a 4-star calving ease Trinity son with a very low BW EPD!

As a yearling, he was the High selling bull in the 2015 Leachman High Altitude Sale in Loma, CO. One of the requirements of this sale is to be developed above 8,000 feet in rough mountain country and be PAP tested while there. High Country scored a 39 on his PAP test which attributes to his negative PAP EPD. High Country is very long made with good balance. He has a large ribeye, super low F:G and Intake EPDs and will moderate mature weight. His profile has very good balance with better than the Top 1% for both $Ranch and $Profit. As a matter of fact, this is actually the highest $Profit son of Trinity we have to offer to date! Owners: Leachman Cattle of Colorado and Nottingham Ranch.

Judge is a 5-star calving ease specialist who has an even higher $Ranch than his highly proven sire Testify!

As a yearling, he had near identical type and kind to Testify at that age. They both have the right shaped head and shoulders for calving ease with adequate muscling throughout. Like Testify, Judge has proven to be a true sleep easy option for heifers. In fact, with a better Intake EPD and $Profit, Judge has officially taken Testify’s place as our number one calving ease sire. Judge has been used quite heavily in our Coop herds, so be sure to check out his sons offered this spring.

The Trinity legend continues! Rarely does a sire exceed all expectations once

he is proven. Trinity progeny have been tested extensively in our system and we have yet to evaluate a trait where he does not excel. No bull is perfect, but Trinity is absolutely our pick for one of the best balanced, well proven, low birth, high $Profit bulls in the industry. He sires very attractive progeny that have the look of a British animal with the heterosis and performance of a hybrid. Trinity is a legitimate 4-star calving ease bull, yet gives up nothing at weaning with his outstanding birth to yearling spread! Given his 3/4SM-1/4AN breed make up, both seedstock producers and commercial cattlemen with a heavily Angus-influenced cow herd should seriously consider using this proven herd sire. Trinity is siring some of the most profitable herd sires in the industry, and has produced some of the most sound and productive females in the Leachman system.

Over 20 sons will be offered this spring!

Trinity has been a pillar in our breeding program. In our system alone we have sold over 500 of his sons. Year in and year out, he made herd sire prospects, like the two to the left. Not only will you find Trinity’s name on the top side of the pedigree of many top bulls, but now as his daughters are in full production, many of them are rising straight to the top as well. If you don’t already have Trinity in your herd, he is a must use!! Although this legend will live on for many years through his sons and daughters, the opportunity to raise actual Trinity progeny is limited. In 2016, Trinity passed away. To date, we have a large enough bank of semen to offer generous volume discounts, at least for now. Reserve your order early to ensure current volume pricing.

Apollo is a very intriguing, high record, Balancer herd sire! We continue to

cross the country to find the top prospects that fit our system and this bull rang the bell. He was the standout Balancer bull at the 2014 Knoll Crest Farm Fall Sale where he was the high seller. In the Stabilizer system there is always a desire to continue to expand the gene pool by adding high record outcross genetics. Apollo is a great example of that. He is a deep, easy-fleshing, thick bull with great structure, feet and legs. For Balancer breeders, Apollo has a VERY intriguing Gelbvieh EPD profile. See AGA EPDs below.
