tion and using the latest technology are high priorities for the Rempes. All of their steers are fed at Lincoln County Feed Yard, and the heifers get ultra-sounded. This means that every animal has carcass data turned into the system each year. Materially, all their cows have udder, disposition & phenotype scores, and are weighed annually. Rempe Farms has an extensive AI and ET program that is primarily focused on high $Profit Red Stabilizers. Along with managing the breeding program for Rempe Farms, Sam Rempe also manages the Elite Semen Cooperative for LCoC.

RGR – Marc and Debbie Rieger (Stabilizer) 1973, with Pioneer Hybrid International, when they wanted to start in the cattle business by developing a hybrid line of cattle. It was called RX3, a red blend of 3 breeds of cattle. Robert and Betty Rieger purchased the ranch in 1954. Marc was the 5th child of 6 and the first to be born on this ranch. Maybe it was meant to be that Debra and I took the place over and have made it our home ever since Marc and Debra took ownership in 1990. We have enjoyed watching the genetic improvement with our cattle, thanks to the Leachman program. Our son, John’s, foundation herd should have a great start, he has taken embryos from our best cows and mated them to some of LCoC’s best bulls. He and his wife, Teressa, have also added some acreage to the operation. John helps with both physical work and the intellectual opera - tions of ranch. We also do get help on the big days of working cattle from John’s wife, Teresa, and girls, Taylor and Trinity. RMP – Rempe Farms, Jim & Ron Rempe Rempe Farms is a diversified operation located in South Cen- tral Nebraska near Superior.

generation of Rossmans (Nick, Garret and J. Payton) on the di- versified crop and livestock operation in MN. They’ve developed a core set of females whose progeny fit well with the Leachman program Their bulls have sold at the Loma and Topline sales RTH – Scott Rittenhouse (Stabilizer) Scott, Sasha and daughter, Lara, live just outside of

Springfield, Ohio. They started with purebred Gelbvieh cattle and began purchasing Leach - man angus and stabilizer bulls several years ago to increase carcass quality. With a large portion of the calves going to feedlots it is important the cattle performed well for the feeders. Today the focus of the cow herd is to maintain Kurt and Susie Stranberg along with their son, Kyle, operate a small, yet elite herd of South Devon influenced cattle. Here in the fertile farmland of west central Minnesota, the Stran- berg’s are optimizing their calf crop by combining the mater - nal traits and efficiency of the South Devons and the proven
