SCROTAL
CIRCUMFERENCE
MEASUREMENTS and
FERTILITY
Several bulls will be sold as interest retained and full
possession selling. 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 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 and
at the purchaser’s convenience. Leland 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.
CARCASS ULTRASOUND
This is the 13
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.
