SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE MEASUREMENTS & FERTILITY All bulls will have a breeding soundness evaluation and semen test before delivery. Scrotal measurements are taken at 10½ to 11 months of age and adjusted to 365 days of age. Scrotal measurements will be available sale day.
This is the 26 th year we have used ultrasound technology to evaluate carcass characteristics. Weather permitting, we will have carcass ultrasound information available on all bulls just prior to the sale that can be accessed on our web site. This information will be available for our customers upon request and more importantly it will be used for more meaningful genetic evaluations in the future as it contributes to carcass EPDs.

RETAINED INTEREST One-half semen interest is retained and full possession selling on all bulls. This means purchaser buys the bull for what he bids and gets 100% possession and 100% resale value of the bull when he sells him. It does give Leland Red Angus and Koester Red Angus the option to collect, use and market semen from the bull and does not restrict purchaser from doing the same. This collection, unless agreed otherwise, would be done at the expense of Leland Red Angus or Koester Red Angus and at the purchaser’s convenience. Leland Red Angus or Koester Red Angus would assume full liability for the bull’s welfare at the purchase value during transportation and collection unless it is a joint venture with the purchaser. In such a case, liability would be proportionately assumed. KOESTER BULL DEVELOPMENT The fall-born bulls are weaned in March and put on a high- roughage ration until we have green grass – hopefully in late May. The bulls summer on grass and limited supplement to encourage slow but steady growth for optimum longevity and fertility. In September, we bring the bulls into the lot and start them on a ration consisting of chopped hay, silage and cracked corn. The bulls stay on this ration until sale time. We strive to promote steady growth, sound foot development and healthy, active potency so they are prolific breeders and maintain their body condition throughout breeding season.
BULL & HEIFER DEVELOPMENT
LELAND BULL DEVELOPMENT Our bulls are developed at our ranch facilities on a total mixed ration formulated for adequate growth, but mild enough to protect their fertility and longevity. Bulls are started on a roughage only diet and gradually transitioned to a TMR for development.
LELAND HEIFER DEVELOPMENT The heifers are wintered on a high roughage ration that targets an ADG of 1.5 lbs. per day, which is optimal for breeding performance.
