How do you rate your herd’s breeding performance over the past year? Do you use metrics to determine the value of your management decisions? If the results do not clarify your return on investment, it may be time to consider an alternative to “business as usual” approach. A family operation with 60 years of breeding experience offering Angus cattle for lease provides the opportunity to quantify the results of your management decisions.
Maintaining your own bulls is a long-term commitment. Their nutritional status must be optimal for the breeding season. A BSE test is needed before they are released to breeding stock. The potential for injury as well as property damage is ever present. A bull in less than prime condition during breeding season will negatively affect your bottom line.
Leasing Angus bulls can minimize the risk of poor performance from your breeding stock. The bulls arrive at the correct weight for their age. Their health has been checked by a vet. The bulls were selected to meet your breeding goals. Angus cattle for lease means eliminating the year round cost of maintaining your own bulls. It can mean that your pasture can support more cattle because bulls are present only during the breeding season.
When you make the decision to lease bulls, choose an established business with well documented genetic lines. Jorgensen Land & Cattle has over 60 years experience breeding Angus cattle. For more information on their lease and sales programs, including Ideal Beef Evaluation, go to
