Welcome to our 41st Annual Production Sale!


        A special thank you for the support and loyalty of our friends and customers. We also appreciate any new interest in our
        program, and pledge to provide any additional information needed.

        As Red Angus continues to be a more prominent beef breed, we endorse the challenge of verifying the genetic value of our
        cattle through collecting and analyzing data with actual measurements, as well as DNA and ultrasound technology. Our herd
        sires and total cowherd have all been genomically tested and parentage verified to insure the most accurate numbers possible
        on all progeny.
        USDA now recognizes the Red Angus breed as Angus for inclusion in most Angus branded beef programs. Hopefully this
        live animal specification, also called G schedule will resolve the black hide bias in the market. However, this also imposes a
        more stringent demand on selection for carcass qualities in our cattle, especially marbling which translates to more upper 2/3
        choice and prime quality grades. See our Bag-A-Bull and EID tag offer on page 4 to verify quality traceability.

        We conduct rigid selection practices to ensure the most
        accurate information available. These include traits not
        measured by the computer, but by cowboy logic – traits such
        as foot and udder structure, disposition, fleshing ability and
        survivability. Our cattle are guaranteed breeders, with the bulls
        passing a breeding soundness and semen evaluation. Heifers
        are guaranteed open and ready to breed.

        We do recommend insurance, particularly on yearling bulls
        when used in multiple breeding groups with older bulls.

        As always, we are happy to assist in any specific needs you
        may have for your program and guarantee confidentiality, as
        well as lowest bid, on any sight-unseen purchases.


        We continue to offer free delivery to central points up to 500
        miles. Historically, when possible, we have delivered direct to
        your yard. However, due to age constraints and labor shortages,
        we may have to ask customers to accept central points, with
        every effort to make it as convenient as possible.




                     Best wishes from all of us at
                         Leland Red Angus &
