> Nov. 3, 2006 – LCoC buys into two Bar 5 AR super marbler bulls !!!!   Lee Leachman leaving no stone unturned for his “disciplined” drive to superior genetics. LCoC has purchased the USA rights to Serenade and they purchased the USA rights on Beef Boy in the Extravaganza II sale !!!!

> Jan. 17, 2006 – A long planned trip to LCoC, Leachman Cattle of Colorado was finally realized !! And I was shocked by the quality of the Donor females – the Angus & Red Angus programs at LCoC are a mile high deep in quality !!! The AN Donors are incredible. Over 800 bulls on test and thousands of females, make this a must stop in Colorado, just an hour north of Denver. Lee is an encyclopedia of knowledge, and enthusiasm; and man, he reminds us of Brian Mackenzie of Brylor Red Angus of Alberta when they start shooting off pedigrees!!

Anyway, We have invited Lee to speak at the Bar 5 Spring Sale in April 2006 & Brian Mac is planning on being here as well, so Red Angus enthusiasts, get ready to fasten your seat belts - the top dogs will be here.

The moderation, the beef and the direction of LCoC program is where we are in our Breeding & Production Program, so we will be working with Lee in the future on some projects.

Angus – we had been following the LCoC program since it’s re-start in Colorado in Jan. 2004, after the Montana Dispersal. In the Fall of 2003, we added the LCoC bull, Few $s More for the injection of two of the lead AN bulls in the USA ( Future Direction & 1407 ) & great ultrasound data into our Angus and FX1 programs. Imagine some GLM ( Genetic Line Matching ) with Few $ More and our SA powerlines !!! We got the marbling to match the AN genes and the yield to go with it……the Eileen cow of Prime Time gave us 19 embryos from Few $ More due Spring 2006!!! And the first calves have hit the ground & look sharp.

The AN Donors of LCoC are awesome & we have selected several for future embryo projects in the future.

Red Angus – A Full brother to Major League !! and many more great looking calves for the March 2006 LCoC Bull Sale. We of course cut our Red Angus teeth at the 2002 LCC Spring Sale of Montana with the purchase of LCC Saskatoon 777L & some AR Donors. The AR Donors were impressive and the son of Romeo, Biber Romero has been added to the Circle 3 lineup, as he is our kind of shape and frame.

Stabilizers ( Hybrids & Composites ) – The bull pens are full of LCoC Composites that look the part, super hips and depth. These have been a mainstay in the USA meat production industry for many years, and the consistency of these calves are amazing.

Thanks to Lee for his time and congratulations on a great program.
