The #1 Trait for Your Cow Herd!

How it works: Zoetis analyzes the 1.4 million animals in the Leachman database. Based on how many calves a bull’s daughters have, they predict a Fertility EPD. Higher Fertility EPD bulls produce daughters that will wean a higher percentage calf crop over their lifetime.

SINGLE TRAIT IMPACTS YOUR BOTTOM LINE MORE THAN THE CALF CROP PERCENTAGE WEANED – THAT’S FERTILITY!

$Profit now re-focused for 2023 and beyond!

On December 12th, 2022, the Leachman $Profit system made one of the most significant Genetic Advancements in our Company’s history!

This unprecedented change was driven by new technology, better data, and changing markets. The primary drivers of the changes were as follows:

1. Leachman incorporated the Zoetis Fertility EPD into $Ranch and $Profit. The EPD predicts large differences in the calf crop percentage expected from a bull’s daughters!

• The Zoetis Fertility EPD was launched in May of 2021.

• After extensive investigation, Leachman believes that this EPD is the single best predictor of a cow’s lifetime productivity.

• Model analysis demonstrates that the number of calves produced in a cow’s lifetime is DIRECTLY related to that female’s probable annual calf crop percentage weaned.

• Higher Fertility EPD bulls produce daughters that will wean a higher average annual calf crop percentage weaned.

• These calf crop percentage differences drive HUGE differences in profitability

• High Fertility EPD bulls will build cowherds with consistently better breed back, higher calf crop percentage weaned, less culling requirements, and reduced replacement rates.

2. Leachman raised the price of corn to $5.50 per bushel to reflect the new reality of future grain prices.

• This change increased the emphasis on feed intake and conversion. Cost of gain, not rate of gain, is the more important driver of feedlot profitability

• Selection for $Profit and $Feeder will place increased emphasis on feed conversion and reduced intake levels.

3. Zoetis and Leachman launch the industry’s most accurate, multi-breed carcass evaluation!

• The $Profit database combines thousands of carcass data records, tens of thousands of ultrasound records, and over 75,000 DNA records to produce the most accurate carcass data predictions.

4. 2022 markets showed a record Choice/Select spread and a record Choice/Prime spread that make marbling more valuable than ever!

These modifications have significantly changed the expected $Ranch, $Feeder, and $Profit for animals in the Leachman $Profit database.

• Selection for $RANCH will build the most fertile and efficient cows.

• Selection for $FEEDER will build steers that efficiently gain and reach Prime marbling.

• Selection for $PROFIT will create the industries leading cowherds for fertility, efficiency, marbling, and profitability.

“It’s

Our cows bred up 94% and our 2-year-olds bred up 90% – all in a year with 3" less than normal rain. Plus, our calves weaned 30 pounds heavier.

We’ve been using high $Ranch and high Fertility Leachman Stabilizer bulls – over 700 bulls since 2008. Our cows are getting better and our calves are improving in the feedlot.”

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.

First choose your trait emphasis .

Then buy as much $Profit as you can afford.

Lee Leachman addresses the Leachman Cooperators. Hazy and Jonathan are listening and taking notes.

Leaving a Legacy

Jonathan Nielson gives a lot of thought to his ranch legacy, “Every ranch family has to be concerned about the future of their outfit. Who is going to sit in my chair and handle the reins?”

The Nielson operation is located in the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills just outside of Ellsworth, NE. The operation was originally part of the Spade Ranch, at the turn of the 19th century. Jonathan Nielson’s grandfather, Sherman John, homesteaded the country when the country was converted from open range. Jonathan’s father, John, then joined the operation.

“I first heard Jim Leachman speak at the Four-State Range Beef Cow Symposium in the late ‘70s. He was talking about Optimum Mainstream Crossbreeding. Then I followed Lee when he moved to Colorado in 2003. We liked crossbreeding, but we were having trouble finding genetics that would consistently do what we wanted. Lee seemed to have more data and his Stabilizer seemed to fit what we needed, so we started AI’ing to his bulls in 2014. Soon thereafter, we became a cooperator. We have had no regrets.”

The whole Nielson family now attends Leachman seminars, sales, and cooperator meetings. They have collected feed intake records and DNA on many of their cattle. In addition, the Nielson’s feed out steers at Lincoln County Feed Yard in Stapleton, NE.

Jonathan explains why they love their Stabilizer cattle, “Our Leachman Stabilizer cattle are more gentle, easier to handle, and breed back quicker. Our cattle are also way more uniform, despite the Stabilizes multi-breed makeup. Today we are confident that our ranch, family and cattle are on the right path and the reins are in good hands.”

Stabilizer Cows Work in the Hills of Ohio

“Becky and I run these 600 cows ourselves. My cows are pretty much Stabilizers. They are easy keepers and raise great calves. We topped the Blue Grass Stockyard sales for years, but now we finish them all in our Nebraska feed yard.

They are on grass all year. Fescue in the summer and fescue/legume mixes in the winter. I first saw year-round grazing at Leachman’s ranch southeast of Billings, Montana. We attended the sale in 1993. I was impressed, so I set out to make it work here in Ohio.”

Todd & Travis Weinrich

“Our cattle do what the numbers say they should do in the pasture and on the rail!”

Todd & Travis Weinrich

“In 2022, our home raised cows bred up 93.3% in 45 days. Our replacement heifers bred up 93% in 60 days. We’ve been emphasizing $Ranch on the bulls we buy.

We DNA test with Inherit. Every generation shows up higher than the last. We love our cowherd. We also love the performance on our fat cattle. The steers and heifers finished between 850 and 900 pounds on carcass weight. They graded 95% or better Choice.”

Stabilizer-Sired Cows Make More Pregnancies

(The Jones family has used Leachman Stabilizer bulls since 1990.)

“We run our first-calf heifers with the cows. We were preg checking when I realized that nearly every two-year-old heifer came in pregnant. Out of just under 100 replacements, only three were open!"

Matt Jones, Midland, SD

“It’s all working… Our cows bred up 94% and our two-year-olds bred up 90% – all in a year with 3” less-than-normal rain. Plus, our calves weaned 30 pounds heavier.”

Leachman Stabilizers –

An American Beef "Breed" Success Story

• 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.

• 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 $ProfitTM : 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.

• Enhanced by DNA: In 2020, we partnered with Zoetis to build the largest, most accurate, composite DNA database in the world. This nearly doubles the accuracy of yearling EPDs, allowing even more rapid genetic improvement.

• Today: The most scientifically advanced, well identified, composite gene pool in the world.

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.”

Dr. Keith Gregory

Is She a Good Cow?

A 1,250 lb. Top 1% $Ranch five-year-old Stabilizer cow calved at 23 months, has bred and calved in the first cycle four times with a 365 day calving interval, and has weaned an average of 698 lbs. per calf.

Most profit minded ranchers increasingly see the key to profitability as controlling costs while still increasing performance. For them, the key cow herd profitability factors are:

• Moderating feed intake so you can run more cows on the same land.

• Improving longevity to reduce the costs of turnover and depreciation.

• Increasing fertility so that more cows bring in a calf every year.

• Adding hybrid vigor to increase pounds weaned per cow exposed .

Buying high growth, high carcass, purebred bulls that have been selected for maximum output will not build a low cost, high profit cowherd.

• Leachman’s $Ranch index will move your herd in the right direction on all of these factors.

• The $Profit index will help you improve your cows and make steers that earn premiums.

• Using Leachman Stabilizers is the simplest crossbreeding strategy you can use: Retain 75% of the original F1 Hybrid vigor, while creating a uniform calf crop. To learn more, see our video on Building a More Profitable Cowherd at www.leachman.com.

Simplify A.I. with Leachman Beef Blends!

The concept is simple – one straw of semen blended with four carefully chosen A.I. sires.

Leachman Beef Blends utilize the same technology the dairy industry has relied on for years. Not only does this product simplify your AI program, but using a 4-bull blend offers genetic risk management. The average of these EPDs has very high accuracy.

Make your breeding decisions easy with these three options. Each meets a specific need and offers the highest level of genetic merit.

Terminal Specialist

A blend of the highest $Feeder, BBK sires you can find in the industry. This blend is specifically designed to make you more profit in the feed yard.

Maternal Specialist –Red or BBK

A blend of the most fertile, high-udder and foot quality, and highest $Ranch sires available. This blend is specifically designed to make replacement heifers.

Professional Bull Buyers Guide

How to read this catalog

1. Reg#: the registration number of the animal. NotReg means the animal is not registered . Pending means that a registration number has been applied for, but was not issued at the time of catalog printing.

2. Brd: breed of the animal if two breeds or less are involved. If more than two breeds are in the animal, then the composition shows the percent British and the percent Continental, i.e. 58B 42C means 58% British and 42% Continental.

3. DOB: date of birth

4. P = polled. S = scurred. H = horned. PP = Homozygous Polled. PH = Heterozygous Polled.

5 . Cooperator herd where the bull was raised .

6. Color: BBK=homozygous black, BLK = black, BWF = black white face, BBF = black brockle face, RED = red, RWF = red white face, WHT = white, BRC = black red carrier.

7 . Pen where the bull is located .

8. Genetic Defect codes - a C appended to the end denotes carrier and an F denotes tested free and P denotes possible but untested .

NH - Neuropathic Hydrocephalus

AM - Arthrogryposis Multiplex

CA - Contractural Arachnodactyly

OS - Osteopetrosis

DD -Developmental Duplication

Phenotype Scores to Make Bull Buying Easier:

9. CE: Calving Ease is the predicted calving ease if you use the bull on heifers. If there is a number in the brown box, this indicates the breed calculated calving ease direct EPD. In addition, we provide our Leachman estimated calving star system

***** The easiest calving bulls in the industry .

**** Use on smaller heifers with minimal assistance needed

*** Use on larger heifers with some assistance expected

10. Maternal: This is an estimate of maternal efficiency, NOT milk. It includes $Ranch, Udder EPD and Fertility EPD as the basis for the Star system. The bulls are scored from one star to five stars. Five Star bulls will produce some of the most profitable, good uddered cows in the industry .

11. Fertility: Predicts the number of calves that a bull’s daughters will have in the first 8 years of their life. As Fertility stars go up we would expect you to have a higher % weaned calf crop.

12. Udder EPD: This EPD assesses the bag attachment and teat size of the bull’s daughters. Bulls with 5 & 4 stars should sire females with exceptional udder quality.

13. Growth: This is a score from one star to five stars, where five stars means maximum growth. Even the one star bulls are as growthy as any bull in America 20 years ago

14. Feedlot: This looks at all of the post weaning traits including gain, conversion, carcass weight, and carcass merit. Scored from one star to five stars, where five stars would produce maximum overall value in your feeder calves.

15. Feet: Is an estimate of the claw shape of an animal’s feet. The bulls are scored on a 1 to 5 scale. Bulls that are 5 and 4 Star for Feet should improve your herds feet and have a low incidence of claw issues himself. One star bulls should be used in a terminal breeding program .

16. Disposition: Our traditional score of 1 – 5 on disposition. Score 5 bulls are bulls you can walk up to and touch . Score 3 is about average historically for Leachman bulls. However, we are making a concerted effort to improve disposition, so most bulls score 3 or higher. The bulls scored 2 5 or 2 are nervous and do not like to be in close quarters with people on foot – but they are great for big range operations.

17. Phenotype: A combination of eye appeal and overall kind. Scored from one star to five stars. Five star bulls are the best phenotypic bulls in the sale (in our opinion)! Two star bulls are less attractive visually than average.

18. $Ranch EPD: This Leachman profit index that predicts weaning profitability based on calving ease, weaning weight, maternal milk, cow cost, and FERTILITY. Based on producing 100 calves . This EPD assumes a slide on calf prices of $10 / cwt.

19. $Feeder: This number is expressed in terms of the bull’s added value to the sale price of your feeder calves. It is expressed in dollars per head . Thus when comparing a +100 bull vs. a +50 bull, we expect the first bull to sire calves worth $50 per head more at weaning (regardless of their weight).

20. $Profit™ EPD: One, simple, proven number that gives each trait a weight according to its impact on profit.

EPDs/ABCs

Breed Association EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences) are listed for all registered animals. Leachman ABCs (Across Breed Comparisons) are listed for all un-registered animals. All ABCs are on an Angus base and can be compared across breeds within this catalog. EPDs are appropriate association EPDs without any adjustments.

21. Birth weight EPD/ABC expressed on an Angus scale (or breed scale for Red Angus, and Charolais).

22. Weaning weight EPD/ABC expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are expressed on an Angus scale .

23. Yearling EPD/ABC expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are expressed on an Angus scale .

24. Milk EPD/ABC expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are expressed on an Angus scale . This is the best predictor of a bull’s daughter’s ability to milk. It measures the difference in weaning weight that will be produced between one bull’s daughters and another bull’s daughters due solely to milk

25. MWT is the predicted mature weight of daughters that you will get if you use the bull on a 1250 pound cow. If your cows weigh 1350, add 100 to this predicted weight. If your cows weigh only 1150, subtract 100 from this predicted weight. This EPD is the best indicator of daughter size -- far better than frame score or yearling height .

26. YHT is an EPD, expressed as frame score, predicting the yearling frame score of a sire’s progeny, compared to that of other sires.

27. IMF is the ultrasound based EPD/ABC for marbling expressed on a breed scale The Stabilizers are expressed on an Angus scale .

28. REA is the ultrasound based EPD/ABC for ribeye area expressed on a breed scale . The Stabilizers are expressed on an Angus scale .

29. F:G is the pedigree estimated feed to gain EPD that predicts the feedlot efficiency of the bulls offspring. A negative number means that the bull’s progeny will feed more efficiently. Example: -0.50 means that the bulls progeny will require ½ pound less feed per pound of gain .

30. Intake: is an estimate of the amount of feed that the bull’s progeny will consume over a 112 day feeding period. It is expressed in pounds. Animals with higher intake will consume more throughout their life. Animals with lower intake will consume less .

31. SC is an EPD, expressed in centimeters, predicting the yearling scrotal circumference of a sire’s progeny, compared to that of other sires.

32. PAP: PAP EPD. If there is a number in the green box, this is the actual PAP score of the animal. If there is a circle around the score, this indicates that the score was collected above 8500 ft in Walden CO.

Key to bull comments:

• Any reference to % rank is the percentile rank within that bull’s breed. Top 1% means the animal ranks better than 99% of the population on that trait.

• Reference to the number rank (i.e. #2 $Profit) is the bulls rank within his breed within the sale bulls for that trait. So, #4 F:G ST means the 4th best Feed:Gain Stabilizer bull in the sale .

• Other abbreviations used in the comments include:

• Dam 5@101 NR – indicates that the bull’s dam has five calves with an average weaning ratio of 101

• WR & NR = weaning or nursing ratio. How the calf ranked within herd on their adjusted weaning weight .

• YR = yearling ratio. How the calf ranked within herd on adjusted yearling weight.

• AWW = adjusted 205 day weaning weight. AYW = adjusted 365 day yearling weight.

• REA & IMF = either adjusted data or ratios for ultrasound ribeye area and inter-muscular fat (marbling).

• ADG = average daily gain on test. WDA = weight per day of age at a year.

• Stay = the Red Angus EPD for Stayability. This predicts the likelihood that a bull’s daughters stay in the herd. +14 means that 14% more of this bull’s daughters will be in the herd at age 6 .

$PROFIT ®

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!

Are all small cows really efficient?

How $Profit ® Works

$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.

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.

What Traits are Included in $Profit ®

$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

▪ Cow Fertility = more calves at weaning

▪ 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

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: udder, structure, and disposition. These traits are important but difficult to express in dollars.

Leachman Financial Indexes

Allow You to HAVE IT ALL !

$Ranch ® – Profit from birth through weaning. Includes:

• Fertility, Milk, Growth

• Cow feed intake and mature size

$Feeder ® – Profit from weaning to harvest. Includes:

• Feed conversion

• Carcass value

• Carcass weight

$Profit ® – Puts it all together. $Ranch ® + $Feeder ®

• One number that predicts your bottom line !

Feed:Gain – Difference in the amount of feed a bull's progeny will consume to produce one pound of gain.

Example: A -0.50 F:G EPD means this animal's progeny will consume 1/2 pound less feed per pound of gain than would progeny of a 0.00 F:G EPD sire.

Feed Intake – Difference in feed consumption of each of a bull's progeny in a 112 day feeding period.

Example: A steer whose sire has a -100 Intake EPD will eat 100 pounds less feed in 112 days than one whose sire had a zero Intake EPD.

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), longstanding (over 30 years), multi-breed (over 15 breeds) database. Using this system assures you of making sound breeding decisions with minimal risk of failure.

$ Indexes Explained

On the Ranch, In the Feedlot, and On the Rail, $PROFIT ® simply works!

Every Leachman sire sells with Genomically Enhanced EPDs from Zoetis!

What does that mean to you as a bull buyer?

1. More accurate EPDs. The bulls you buy have more accurate EPDs because of the genomically enhanced (GE) Zoetis analysis of our 1.4 MM animal database. In rough terms, these GE EPDs are TWICE as accurate as non genomically enhanced EPDs.

2. Parentage is verified on every bull we sell.

3. Far more accuracy on the maternal traits that cannot be measured on a bull. These traits include mature size of a bull’s daughters, daughter fertility, daughter milk production, and daughter teat and udder quality!

What does it mean for your commercial herd?

1. You can have EPDs to select your replacement heifers. You invest $1,500 to $2,000 in every replacement heifer that you keep back and put into production. Unfortunately, without data, this process is difficult. In particular, we keep females that come up open and fall out of the system.Parentage is verified on every bull we sell.

2. You can eliminate heifers that don’t fit your specifications. With EPDs, you can select optimal levels of milk, size, and feed requirements.

3. You can create higher value feeder calves. By selecting for the Zoetis Feeder Calf index, you can improve feedlot performance and carcass value in your future calves. What does this mean to you as a seedstock breeder?

1. Get GE-EPDs and Leachman $Ranch, $Feeder, and $Profit on your cattle. By contributing your seedstock data to the Leachman $Profit Share database, you will be joining leading seedstock producers from around the world. You will have predictions on the feed cost on your animals. You will also have global comparability for your genetics as our database includes cattle from the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK -- making it the largest, private, multi-breed, beef cattle database in the world.

2. Gain a new way to help your commercial customers. By linking your genetics to your customers replacement females, you provide improved services to your customers. You can become directly involved in helping them interpret their Inherit Select results. This will make them more loyal customers and better bull buyers.

Our Breeding Season Guarantee!

Leachman Cattle of Colorado is offering a 90-day breeding season guarantee, starting the first day of turnout, on all bulls that we sell. This guarantee will cover your purchased bull(s) against death, injury, infertility, and loss of use. If, during the first season, you lose the use of your Leachman bull for whatever reason, we will give you a credit towards the purchase of a new bull. We only ask that your herd veterinarian provide a written statement describing the death, injury, or infertility. If the bull in question can be salvaged, we would like you to keep the salvage value, and a credit will be issued, less the salvage amount you receive for the bull. If the bull is turned out for breeding, then the credit will be given at 75% of the original purchase value (less any salvage value). All claims must be made within 1 year from the date of purchase and cannot exceed the greater of 2 bulls per invoice or 15% of the total invoice.

Example 1: Your $5,000 bull dies before you turn him out to breed. You receive a full credit of $5,000. (Purchase Price - $0 Salvage - $0 Use).

Effective Sept. 1, 2021

Example 2: Your $5,000 bull injures his scrotum after you pull him from the cows. You sell him for $1000 in salvage. You receive a credit of $2,750 ($5000 purchase – $1000 salvage – $1250 usage).

Requirements for claims:

1. All claims must be made within 365 days of purchase.

2. A veterinary statement regarding the circumstances is required.

3. A verbal agreement from Leachman Cattle of Colorado is required prior to a bull being sold for salvage. Documentation of the salvage value of the bull, including identification of the bull on the sale barn ticket, that corresponds to the bulls Leachman identifications (ear tag or metal clip) is also required.

This credit can be used for the purchase of bulls, females, semen, and/or embryos from Leachman Cattle of Colorado. If the credit is not used within 24 months of the date of issuance, then it will expire.

Note: Guarantee will be revoked on all bulls that are not paid for within 30 days of invoice date.

Leachmans is committed to helping ranchers reduce the losses from brisket disease.

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 7,705 PAP scores on cattle in our program. 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 genomically enhanced 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 85%. 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.

Key points regarding PAP and PAP EPDs:

• We have taken 7,705 PAP scores (all by Dr. Tim Holt).

• PAP is 30% heritable.

• The PAP EPDs reported were calculated by Zoetis. They include information related to the genomics of the bulls. This increases the accuracy of the prediction, even without a PAP test.

• 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.

Leachman Cattle of Colorado Guidelines for High Altitude Selection of Cattle

If you are taking our bulls to altitude, please only buy bulls that are below -1.0 on PAP EPD.

The following PAP guarantees ONLY apply to bulls with PAP EPDs of under -1.0.

1. You can take the bull home to altitude, test the bull with your other Leachman bulls, and then decide whether or not to keep or return the bull. Transportation will be at your expense. Any returned bulls must be virgins and must be unbranded.

2. If you decide to keep the bull, all -1.0 or less PAP EPD Leachman bulls will be guaranteed for brisket disease for four years. If they die, you will need to document their ID and photograph their heart to show that the death was caused by brisket. At that point, we will give you a credit equal to the original purchase price less 25% for each season the bull was turned out with the cows. For clarification, if the bull dies during or after the first season, you will receive a 75% credit. If the bull dies during or after the 2nd season, you will receive a 50% credit. If the bull dies during or after the 3rd season, you will receive a 25% credit. If the bull is turned out for the fourth season, then no credit would apply.

Craig and Becky Hays, along with their children Lindsay, Jessica, and Cody, and Craig’s dad, Curt, operate the herd. Ultrasound has played a role since the herd’s inception. In-

dividual feed intake data has been collected on bulls and heifers since 2008. The collection of performance data, through both phenotypes and genotypes, is used to quantify the benefits and deficiencies in the herd

LKN - Ken and Karen Knievel (Stabilizer)

Ken and Karen Knievel are located in Windsor, Colorado. After 50+ years of breeding commercial, crossbred cattle and 20 years of using composite bulls, the opportunity to select from the top cows of the Tessari Stabilizer dispersal became the foundation of our current herd. These females are being mated to the top $Profit Leachman sires to produce outstanding stabilizer breeding stock We have witnessed the value of hybrid vigor and superior genetics in our commercial herd for many years. Carrying on our cattle operation with these exceptional females is the next chapter for us

KLK - K Lazy K Ranch (Angus & Stabilizers)

K Lazy K Ranch is a fourth generation commercial angus ranch located in the grassland above the Missouri River near Highmore South Dakota. The Kusser family started using Leachman bulls in the early 1990’s, and in 1998, bred the first heifers to New Design 1407 and provided the carcass data to Leachman Cattle Co. For the past 20 years, Kussers have AI’d all their heifers and most of the mature cows with an eye toward moderate frames, efficiency and high carcass quality. In recent years the steers from the K Lazy K herd, with their deep Leachman genetics, have been used for carcass testing to provide the efficiency data for LCoC. Since 2014, Jerry and the Kusser family are getting more involved in the Stabilizer business as they’ve been AI’ing their angus cows to some of the top LCoC Stabilizer bulls .

LAM-Hiram Lambert (Stabilizer)

Triple Creek Ranches are located in North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska just south of Riverton, NE. The Lambert family started raising seed stock in 1978 with the purchase of some registered Angus females. In the fall of 2000 they purchased some Stabilizer Cows from the Leachman Cow Harvest Sale. Currently the Lamberts are raising both Angus and Stabilizer bulls for the Leachman system

MNB - Zach and Jake

PRM – Pete Mathews (Red Angus)

Pete and Robin Mathews own and operate a Registered Red Angus herd located in the beautiful rolling hills of Southwest Wisconsin Their son Hunter joined the operation after college. Pete and Robin and their family first attended the Leachman sale in 1987 where they purchased their first 7 Leachman heifers. Since then they have grown the herd to 200 mother cows consisting of Registered Red Angus and Stabilizers. The Mathews also have a feed yard, hay, and cash grain business Their mission statement is to produce structurally sound and high-performance cattle. If you get to Wisconsin stop in for a visit and look at the operation.

RGR – Marc and Debbie Rieger (Stabilizer)

We raise Stabilizer cattle and started with the Leachman family in 1997. Our family started in the composite business in 1973, with Pioneer Hybrid International, when they wanted to start in the cattle business by developing a hybrid line of cattle. It was called RX3, a red blend of 3 breeds of cattle. Robert and Betty Rieger purchased the ranch in 1954. Marc was the 5th child of 6 and the first to be born on this ranch. Maybe it was meant to be

Marc and Debra took ownership in 1990. We have enjoyed watching the genetic improvement with our cattle, thanks to the Leachman program. Our son, John’s, foundation herd should have a great start, he has taken embryos from our best cows and mated them to some of LCoC’s best bulls. He and his wife, Teressa, have also added some acreage to the operation. John helps with both physical work and the intellectual operations of ranch. We also do get help on the big days of working cattle from John’s wife, Teresa, and girls, Taylor and Trinity.

RMP – Rempe Farms, Jim & Ron Rempe

Rempe Farms is a diversified operation located in South Central Nebraska near Superior . This Stabilizer herd has evolved through 3 family generations of genetic selection. Data collection and using the latest technology are high priorities for the Rempes. All of their steers are fed at Lincoln County Feed Yard, and the heifers get ultra-sounded. This means that every animal has carcass data turned into the system each year. Materially, all their cows have udder, disposition & phenotype scores, and are weighed annually. Rempe Farms has an extensive AI and ET program that is primarily focused on high $Profit Red Stabilizers. Along with managing the breeding program for Rempe Farms, Sam Rempe also manages the Elite Semen Cooperative for LCoC.

RTH – Scott Rittenhouse (Stabilizer)

Scott, Sasha and daughter, Lara, live just outside of Springfield, Ohio. They started with purebred Gelbvieh cattle and began purchasing Leachman angus and stabilizer bulls several years ago to increase carcass quality. With a large portion of the calves going to feedlots it is important the cattle performed well for the feeders. Today the focus of the cow herd is to maintain problem free cattle that will put dollars back into your wallet.

SBG - Kurt & Susie Stranberg (South Devon Hybrids)

Kurt and Susie Stranberg along with their son, Kyle, operate a small, yet elite herd of South Devon influenced cattle. Here in the fertile farmland of west central Minnesota, the Stranberg’s are optimizing their calf crop by combining the maternal traits and efficiency of the South Devons and the proven performance of top Leachman bulls. The three can often be found promoting their stock and the LCoC program at regional and national shows.
