$PROFIT TM

What traits are included in $Profit:$Profit includes nearly every trait that impacts profit-ability. 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 & 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 = 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: longevity, structure, and disposition. These traits are important but difficult to express in dollars.

Why $Profit helps:Today, ranchers have too much data to study. With over 20 EPD traits and so many measurements, buying the best bull has become really confusing. Every bull is good on some traits and weak on others. The challenge is figuring out how each of those traits is going to impact your bottom line. We wish we knew which bull would make the most money from birth to slaughter, but most of the time, we end up guessing.

Back in 2005, we decided that we didn’t want to guess any more. Dallas Horton asked Lee Leachman to come up with one number that sorted the bulls on their bottom line impact – so we did. Since then, we have provided $Profit on all bulls we sell. Furthermore, we are basing almost all of our own selection decisions on $Profit. Literally, we are putting our money where our mouth is.

Let me tell you a story about two bulls that we bought a few years ago from the same sale. Both bulls had complete performance data, ratios, ultrasound, and even feed efficiency data. They were both the same breed. After the sale, we added their herd’s data into our database to calculate EPD’s and $Profit. One bull came out at $8,374 and the other came out at $14,258. That is a huge difference – one bull was a great buy and the other was an expensive mistake.

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 sale 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.

On the Ranch, In the Feedlot, & On the Rail,

$Profit™ simply works!

Feed Efficiency Explained: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 ani-mal'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 con-sumption of each of a bull's progeny in a 112 day feeding period.

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

About Harlan Livestock:The large commercial operation runs 3,500 cows and a large stocker program. The cows are summered on high mountain meadows and trucked to lower country for winter. The cows rely on grass year round and are seldom fed. The operation relies on good cowmen, good horses, and good cattle. The outfit’s “Spear Point” brand is carried by a growing herd of quality, commercial Angus cattle.

I want to run as many cows as I can on the country I have while maintaining production, health, and land conservation. I have bought Leachman TopLine bulls that have been selected for feed efficiency. I like uniform, moderate cows that work in my country – we’re getting away from cows that are too big. My expectations are being met.”

My bottom line is to run cows efficiently…

How to read this catalog1. Reg#: the registration number of the animal. NotReg means the ani-

mal 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 birth4. Color: BLK = black, BWF = black white face, BBF = black brockle face,

RED = red, RWF = red white face, WHT = white.5. Mating type: E = embryo transplant, A = via artificial insemination, N

= natural service6. Sex: B = Bull, H = Female7. P = polled. S = scurred. H = horned.8. Cooperator herd where the bull was raised.9. Pen where the bull is located.10. 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:11. C. Ease: 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.

12. 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.

13 . Maternal: This is an estimate of maternal efficiency, NOT milk. It includes cow size, milk, fertility, and growth. The bulls are scored from one star to five stars. Five star bulls will produce some of the most profitable cows in the industry if you sell calves at weaning.

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. 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.

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. Actual birth weight. This is not adjusted for age of the dam. 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.

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

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

20. Yearling EPD/ABC expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are

Professional Bull Buyers Guide

expressed on an Angus scale. 21. 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.

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

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

24. 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.

25. 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.

26. 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.

27. YHT is an EPD predicting a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height, expressed in inches, compared to the that of other sires.

28. SC is an EPD, expressed in centimeters, predicting the difference in transmitting ability of scrotal size compared to that of other sires.

29. $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. See page 7.

30. $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).

31. $Profit™ EPD: One, simple, proven number that gives each trait a weight according to its impact on profit. See page 7 for additional information.

32. FT: Indicates the bull was individually measured for feed intake. Bulls without this notation, were not individually measured. Un-measured bulls have EPD’s based on their parental average.

Featuring Angus with Pedigrees Stacked for Feed Efficiency!

Now that feed efficiency is factored into $Beef -- it’s time to make sure that you’re not breeding cattle that eat too much. Most top AI sires rank above the 90% on dry matter intake. That means that they eat more than 90% of the animals in the breed! Leachman Cattle is one of the few places you can find stacked pedigrees for feed efficiency. Each year, we test the feed intake on our top Angus bulls. We stack these animals in pedigrees that now include many of the breed’s most feed efficient sires including Protégé, New Standard, 1407, 878, 5050, Final Answer, and Absolute. No wonder that many of our bulls rank in the breeds lowest 1% to 5% on the HD50K test results for dry matter intake! Buy a Leachman bull today and start moving your herd towards greater feed efficiency.

T C A Visionary 158Reg #16972676 ● C C & 7 x 0699 x 1407

Visionary is a candidate for the most feed efficient Angus bull we have tested to date. His outstanding EPD’s rank in the breed’s top 20% on CED, BW, RADG, DOC, HP, CEM, Milk, CW, REA, FAT, $Grid, and $Beef. In the Leachman system, he ranks as the #2 sire on feed conversion, the #4 sire on lowest feed intake, and the #4 bull on our $Profit index – compared to over 3100 sires of all breeds!

Leachman Shift G026Y Reg #17143682 ● Paradigm x Foresight x Load Up

Shift is a low intake, moderate framed, high marbling bull that carries on our now deceased Paradigm bloodline. Paradigm steers were the most efficient sire group in our first feed efficiency progeny test in 2009 with an average con-version of 5.2 : 1 compared to the average of 6 : 1. He will reduce intake and mature size. Shift ranks in the top 3% on CED, BW, CEM, Marb, and $QG along with in the top 10% on $Beef!
