We make bull buying easy!

When it comes to picking bulls, the first thing you need to do is choose how to balance the traits. Maternal vs Terminal. $Ranch vs $Feeder. Moderate cow size & fertility vs growth and carcass weight. Leachman Cattle provides MORE data than any other bull producer. We also provide BETTER data. Most catalogs are pretty good at telling you which bulls are terminal -- just look at indexes like $Feeder, $Beef, or TI, or TSI. However, there are almost no good indexes for finding ideal maternal bulls. At Leachman, we have had the $Ranch index for some time. Now, we also have Udder stars and Fertility stars. As of today, neither Udder nor Fertility is in $Ranch. Thus, the best Maternal bulls combine $Ranch, Udder and Fertility.

Last year we introduced a new concept: AllAround Bulls™. These bulls score four stars or more on BOTH Maternal and Feed/Carc. They are elite for both $Ranch and $Feeder. By definition, they are high on $Profit. The Leachman sale offers more 4-Star and higher AllAround Bulls than any other sale in the country. Why or how? Simply put, we select for these bulls.

The AllAround Specialists are scored 4, 4.5, and 5 Stars. 5-Star AllAround bulls are five for both Maternal and Feed/Carc. 4.5-Star AllARound bulls are 4 on Maternal or Feed/Carc and 5 on the other. 4-Star AllAround bulls are 4 stars on both Maternal and Feed/Carc. We think that these AllAround bulls are the most valuable bulls in the industry. They give you maximum flexibility to keep heifers, sell calves, and/or feed our your calves and sell on a grid. These bulls will bring a little more, but they are worth it. Choose

First choose your trait emphasis. Then buy as much $Profit as you can afford.

High gaining and heavy carcass weight Better conversion and more grid value

These bulls combine 4 & 5 stars on both Maternal & Feed/Carc

How you get it: Buy Four & Five Star Maternal bulls Buy Four & Five Star Feed/ Carc bulls Buy bulls with 4 - 5 AllAround Stars

NOTE: AllAround bulls can also be used as either Maternal or Terminal Specialists. They are just as good as the specialist. Be sure to include them on your lists.
