Page 5 - Leland and Koester Red Angus 2017 Brochure

Greetings from Leland Red Angus and Koester Red Angus:
We would like to start out by saying that we hope your families and ranches are doing well. Even though this winter has been brutal,
the snow will eventually melt and it sure looks like we will be turning out on green grass this spring.

We would like to update you on a couple new developments in our operations that have a direct impact on your profi tability. First,
both Lelands and Koesters have become Seedstock Partners with Top Dollar Angus. This move on our part not only allows you to
market your qualifi ed calves through this program but saves you money in the process. Our ranches will absorb the enrollment fee
for producers utilizing our genetics, enhancing the premium on Top Dollar ca le to even greater heights. In the sale catalog, we will
designate all sale bulls that meet the Top Dollar Angus qualifi cations with the program’s logo.

Top Dollar Angus is diff erent from other branded programs in that it fi nds the value in the feeder ca le sector and passes that pre-
mium on to the ranch. Top Dollar Angus has seen exponential growth in the last year and is poised for another banner year. To learn
if your calves qualify for Top Dollar Angus, please contact Kenny Stauff er at 308-641-0429 or email kenny@topdollarangus.com.

Another item we would like to visit with you about is that both of our ranches have invested in DNA testing. All sale bulls in the of-
fering have genomic-enhanced EPDs . What this means to you, the customer, is that the EPDs you are looking at to make your selec-
tion decisions are the highest accuracy EPDs we can provide. This increase in accuracy allows you the comfort of knowing that every
eff ort has made by us, your seedstock supplier, to ensure your investment in our product will be as reliable as we can make them.

Finally, we would like to say that we are commi ed to supplying you with trusted performance and quality backed, not only by the
latest science-based technology, but with sound, manageable ca le beyond the numbers with emphasis on structure, economic conve-
nience and adaptability – all focused on your profi tability.

As always if you have any questions feel free to contact any of us and we will do our very best to assist you any way we can. Thank
you very much for your continued business. Here’s hoping for stirrup-high grass in 2017.
