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.

With today’s strong cattle markets, there has never been a better time to invest in the best genetics available. Maximize your herd’s profitability by using Leachman Elite AI sires, which average $31,794 $Profit®, $151 $Ranch®, and $234 $Feeder®. Then, take your program even further by purchasing a Leachman sire for cleanup from the 2025 offering, averaging $26,959 $Profit®, $126 $Ranch®, and $202 $Feeder®. Invest in genetics that deliver real-world results and position your operation for long-term success!

$PROFIT WHAT IS

& WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Leachman Cattle’s $Profit® index stands as one of the most innovative and effective tools in modern beef production. Designed to help cattle producers maximize their profitability while improving the efficiency of their herds, the $Profit® index has gained recognition across the beef industry as a game-changing resource. By focusing on long-term sustainability and optimizing genetic potential, Leachman’s $Profit® system empowers producers to make informed decisions that benefit both their bottom line and the future of the beef industry as a whole.

WHAT IS THE $PROFIT® INDEX?

At its core, Leachman Cattle’s $Profit® index is a genetic selection tool that calculates the expected profitability of beef cattle based on specific genetic traits. It is a comprehensive program that goes beyond the typical focus on individual traits like weight gain or carcass quality and instead integrates a range of factors that affect overall production costs and returns. The system evaluates 22 traits such as growth rates, feed efficiency, reproductive success, and carcass merit, assigning each animal a profitability score that reflects its overall potential for longterm profitability.

In the cattle business, you have to balance all of the traits that impact profitability. This is nearly impossible for anyone to do without understanding the tradeoffs and economic impact of each trait. Simply put, $Profit® does this work for you. By selecting for $Profit® , your cowherd will become more profitable (Cows that Work) and your feeder calves will make more money (Steers that Pay).

Leachman’s $Profit® index utilizes a powerful algorithm to consider the various inputs that contribute to profit, including both direct and indirect costs associated with production.

This allows beef producers to select animals that not only perform well in traditional areas, such as weaning weights or ribeye area, but also in more complex aspects like feed efficiency and herd longevity. As a result, the program offers a more holistic view of genetic potential and provides a roadmap for selecting the bulls and cows that will yield the best financial outcomes.

HOW IS $PROFIT® CALCULATED?

The $Profit® score is calculated by taking into account a variety of economic factors. These include:

Reproductive Performance: Since the production of each calf is a major source of income, reproductive efficiency is critical. Bulls that produce cows with higher reproductive performance contribute to the overall profitability of the herd by ensuring higher calf crop percentages.

Longevity and Durability: Cows that live longer and continue to produce calves effectively contribute to longterm profits, reducing replacement and depreciation costs for herds.

Feedlot Performance: The $Profit® system incorporates expected performance data for animals as they enter feedlots, taking into account how efficiently they will gain weight and how well they will grade once processed.

Carcass Merit: Factors like carcass weight, marbling, ribeye size, and yield grade are all considered to predict how well the animal will perform in the marketplace. Higher carcass quality leads to higher premiums at the packing plant, increasing profitability.

$Profit® is generated from a combination of industry standards, genomic testing, and performance records from Leachman Cattle and the broader cattle industry. By assigning a dollar value to each trait, the $Profit® score provides a numerical representation of the expected profit an animal can generate across its lifetime.

$Profit® includes nearly every trait that impacts profitability.

WHY BEEF PRODUCERS SHOULD USE HIGH $PROFIT® BULLS FROM LEACHMAN CATTLE

Beef producers who use high $Profit® bulls from Leachman Cattle are investing in the future success and sustainability of their operations. These bulls are specially selected based on their genetic potential to maximize profitability through superior performance in a variety of traits. Here are some reasons why producers should consider using these bulls:

Increased Profit Margins: Bulls with high $Profit® scores contribute to higher-quality offspring that are more efficient in converting feed, grow faster, and produce better carcass quality. These traits all lead to reduced costs and increased returns for producers.

Reduced Production Costs: Feed is one of the largest costs in beef production. Bulls with high feed efficiency can help reduce feed costs by producing more weight per unit of feed. Additionally, selecting for reproductive success and longevity means fewer replacement animals are needed, reducing overall herd management costs.

Adaptability to Market Shifts: The $Profit® index helps producers select bulls that are not only profitable in the present but are also adaptable to future market trends. Whether it’s responding to changing consumer preferences for beef quality or meeting sustainability demands, high $Profit® bulls are a smart investment for navigating future industry challenges.

IMPORTANCE TO THE BEEF INDUSTRY

The $Profit® index is essential to the future of the beef industry because it helps producers to adopt more sustainable and efficient practices. As the global population grows and demand for beef increases, the industry must find ways to meet that demand while reducing resource use and maintaining profitability.

By using genetic selection tools like the $Profit® index, beef producers can improve the efficiency of their operations. The focus on feed efficiency, reproductive success, and animal longevity helps produce more beef with fewer resources, which is crucial as the industry faces pressure to produce sustainably in a world of limited resources.

Moreover, the system helps producers align their operations with consumer expectations for high-quality, responsibly produced beef. By selecting for superior carcass merit and growth efficiency, producers can meet market demands for premium beef while improving their bottom line.

Leachman Cattle’s $Profit® index is an invaluable tool for modern beef producers who want to maximize profitability and sustainability. By choosing high $Profit® bulls, producers can improve herd performance, reduce costs, and contribute to the long-term health of the beef industry. The system offers a clear path forward in an increasingly competitive and resource-conscious market, ensuring that the beef industry remains strong and profitable for generations to come.

$RANCH WHAT IS

& WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Leachman Cattle’s $Ranch® index represents a groundbreaking approach to improving your cow herd. No other index builds cows that excel at all of the drivers of cowherd profitability. $Ranch® will reduce cow feed intake, increase cow fertility and longevity, and increase weaning weights. The $Ranch® index stands as a strategic tool that helps producers optimize their herds for long-term success. By focusing on ranch-level profitability, this system is designed to help cattlemen and women produce better replacement females.

WHAT IS THE $RANCH® INDEX?

Leachman Cattle’s $Ranch® index is a comprehensive genetic evaluation tool that helps beef producers select bulls that will maximize the profitability and sustainability of their cowherd. The system uses a robust economic model that integrates both the direct and indirect factors that influence the profitability of a cow/calf operation that sells calves at weaning. These include feed costs, reproductive performance, longevity and calf weaning weight. By taking all of these into account, the $Ranch® index calculates a dollar value for each cow that reflects its annual contribution to the overall profitability of a ranch. Herds that use $Ranch® will improve the profitability of their cowherd.

HOW IS $RANCH® CALCULATED?

The $Ranch® score is derived from an intricate calculation that factors in a wide range of economic and biological variables. $Ranch predicts relative profit per cow on the daughters of a bull. In simple

terms, higher $Ranch® bulls will generate cows that make more money each year. The index considers:

Cow Size and Feed Requirements: The $Ranch® estimates a cow’s annual feed cost using both the cow’s size and its feed intake predictions. Selection for $Ranch® will reduce per cow feed requirements. This will allow both heavier stocking rates and reduced supplemental feed per cow.

Reproductive Performance: Fertility is #1 driver of $Ranch® . Leachman’s Cow Fertility EPD predicts the number of calves that a bull’s daughter will have in her lifetime. Ultimately, higher Cow Fertility herds will have higher calf crop percentages and lower replacement rates. This positively impacts revenue per cow exposed to the bull and also reduces the depreciation cost per calf. The combined impact on increased revenue and reduced depreciation make reproduction the most important single trait to cow/ calf operations that sell calves at weaning.

Maternal Weaning Weight: The $Ranch® index favors cows that wean bigger calves. However, the impact of weaning weight is less significant that either cow feed cost or reproduction. Nonetheless, selection for $Ranch® will increase herd weaning weights over time.

By evaluating these various factors, the $Ranch® index provides a profitability score that reflects the expected long-term success of a cow. This enables producers to select bulls that will make more profitable cowherds.

$Ranch is profit from birth through weaning.

IMPORTANCE TO THE BEEF INDUSTRY

Leachman Cattle’s $Ranch® will help producers change the trajectory of their cowherds. The 40-year pursuit of increased growth rates has built cows that are too big and eat too much. This has made it increasingly difficult to generate high calf crop percentages. It has also reduced longevity and driven up supplemental feed costs.

The future of profitable cow/calf operations will be to find the females that are more efficient with higher fertility and longevity. By using high $Ranch® bulls, herds will generate more cows that make it to nine years of age by producing a calf every year. In an era of changing market dynamics, ranches that utilize this program will be well-positioned for future success.

Leachman Cattle’s $Ranch® index is an essential tool for modern beef producers who are looking to optimize their operations for profitability and sustainability.

$FEEDER WHAT IS

& WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Leachman Cattle’s $Feeder® Index is an innovative genetic evaluation tool that focuses on maximizing the profitability of cattle once they enter the feedlot. With the increasing demand for high-quality beef and evertightening margins in the industry, it’s more important than ever for beef producers to focus on the entire production cycle. From conception to the feedlot, the $Feeder® index provides a clear, data-driven way to select genetics that will yield the highest returns for producers at the feedlot level. By optimizing cattle performance in terms of feed efficiency, weight gain, and carcass quality, the index ensures that feeder cattle will be more valuable and generate more profit.

WHAT IS THE $FEEDER® PROGRAM?

Leachman Cattle’s $Feeder® index is a genetic selection tool designed to enhance the performance of cattle once they enter the feedlot phase of production. It calculates the potential profitability of cattle by evaluating a range of traits that influence how well they will perform in the feedlot. These traits include feed conversion, growth rates, and carcass traits like marbling, ribeye size, and yield grade. The goal is to select bulls whose genetics will produce feeder calves that are efficient, fast-growing, and high-yielding, thus maximizing returns during the feedlot phase.

Unlike traditional genetic programs that may focus solely on individual traits, the $Feeder® index combines various factors into a comprehensive score that provides producers with an accurate, bottom-line-focused metric for evaluating bulls. This ensures that each animal’s contribution to profitability is fully understood, allowing producers to make smarter breeding decisions for optimal feedlot outcomes.

HOW IS $FEEDER® CALCULATED?

The $Feeder® score is calculated using a combination of genetic factors that are proven to impact the performance of cattle in the feedlot. The primary factors included in the $Feeder® index calculation are:

Feed Efficiency: This is one of the most critical components in the feedlot phase. Cattle that convert feed into weight gain efficiently cost less to feed and require less time to reach market weight. Bulls that pass on genes for high feed efficiency can significantly reduce overall feed costs, which make up a large portion of the feedlot’s expenses.

Average Daily Gain (ADG): Cattle that grow faster are more profitable because they reach market weight sooner, reducing feed costs and labor. The $Feeder® index calculates how quickly an animal can gain weight based on its genetic predisposition for growth.

Carcass Quality: The $Feeder® index also takes into account marbling score and how it will impact grid premiums. In particular, the index targets the production of higher quantities of Prime and high Choice. Higher marbling carcasses are highly desired by consumers and packers, ensuring the cattle generate more premiums.

Fat Cover and Yield Grade: The amount of fat and muscle on an animal influences its market value. A proper balance is essential—too much fat can lower the quality of the carcass, while too little can result in lower yields. The $Feeder® index evaluates these factors to ensure that cattle reach the ideal weight and fat levels for optimal market prices.

Carcass Weight: The goal of all feeder indexes should be to produce carcasses that can reach maximum weights efficiently. This requires having the growth potential to produce 1,000 pound carcasses. High $Feeder® bulls will produce steers that can reach the highest acceptable carcass weights.

By combining these traits, the $Feeder® index assigns a dollar value to each bull based on how likely their offspring will be to perform efficiently and profitably in the feedlot. This provides a clear indication of the economic return producers can expect from selecting a particular bull for their breeding program.

IMPORTANCE TO THE BEEF INDUSTRY

Leachman Cattle’s $Feeder® index is crucial for the future of the beef industry because it helps producers meet the ever-growing demand for high-quality beef while improving feedlot efficiency and overall profitability. $Feeder® will improve feed conversion faster than any other feeder index available in the industry.

By utilizing genetics that optimize feedlot performance, producers can help ensure that cattle reach market weight faster, with fewer resources. This contributes to greater overall efficiency in the beef supply chain, from the ranch to the packer. The $Feeder® index also helps producers adapt to shifting market demands by selecting for high carcass quality traits that are in increasing demand by consumers.

Leachman Cattle’s $Feeder® index offers a powerful, economically focused approach to cattle breeding. By selecting high $Feeder® bulls, producers can optimize feedlot performance, reduce costs, and improve profitability. The program not only enhances the financial outcomes of individual ranches but also plays a critical role in ensuring that the beef industry remains competitive and efficient in the face of future challenges.

LEACHMAN CATTLE IS COMMITTED TO HELPING RANCHERS REDUCE 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 9,470 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 to regarding PAP and PAP EPDs:

• We have taken 9,470 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.

OUR 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, udder quality, fertility/longevity, growth, feed efficiency/ intake and calving ease.

 Keep these heifers! They will make the most profitable females in the business.

FEEDLOT: A formula that combines: gain, conversion, carcass weight and carcass merit to predict post weaning performance.

 Maximum overall value in your feeder calves.

UDDER: An estimate of the daughter’s udder quality.

 Thumb size teats and tight bag suspension.

FERTILITY: An estimate of the amount of calves the daughters will have in their lifetime.

 Will produce about 2 more calves in their life time than 1-Star fertility.

DISPOSITION: An observation of the sires disposition.

 Average - respects flight zones and handles well, but is not a pet.

Leachman financial indexes

$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.
