- Leachman Cattle is a progressive beef seedstock producer using precision technology to improve cattle. We develop cattle from September through the winter in preparation for spring sales and lead the industry in producing profitable, tasty, and sustainable beef. Employees on our Sale Cattle Preparation and Bull Development Crew will help care for, develop, and prepare approximately 2,500 bulls and several hundred females each year for multiple local and regional sales. Crew members handle cattle using low-stress techniques, provide daily care and monitoring of animal health, and keep feed bunks, water troughs, pens, and facilities clean and in good repair. They assist with data collection on structure, feet, disposition, and weights; work with veterinarians, brand inspectors, and sale preparation staff; and follow Beef Quality Assurance methods for cattle processing, including tagging, vaccinations, parasite control, branding, dehorning, and DNA tissue sampling. Employees also complete feedlot sorts and cattle movements, maintain accurate records of inventories and animal movements, verify IDs and health papers, and assist with sale preparations such as clipping, hoof care, and working with photographers and videographers. The role includes maintaining barns, pens, and equipment in a “guest-ready” state, performing routine maintenance on vehicles and machinery, and safely operating pickups with trailers, feed trucks, tractors, skid steers, 4-wheelers, and side-by-sides. Employees help with pen bedding, fencing, yard repairs, and other facility upkeep as needed. They provide hands-on care for livestock by examining cattle for signs of illness or injury, feeding and watering, mixing feed and medications, administering treatments, and assisting veterinarians when necessary. Duties may also include reproduction tasks such as breeding, artificial insemination, calving assistance, and occasional help with semen collection under supervisor direction. Employees are expected to act with respect and professionalism toward both people and animals, maintain clear communication with coworkers, vendors, and customers, and be flexible in taking on non-routine tasks as needed. They participate in training to improve skills and learn company software for production, safety, and communication, while also assisting with customer visits and sale-day preparation. General livestock responsibilities include cleaning stalls and equipment, grooming and clipping cattle, moving livestock to pastures or scales, maintaining and repairing fences and facilities, marking animals with brands or tags, treating cattle for pests, and segregating animals by weight, age, or condition.
