The Tend-R-Leen® Program

Providing the lowest cost per pound of gain since 1963.

The Tend-R-Leen® program, first introduced in 1963, created the concept of no-roughage feeding for dairy and beef steers. Today, over forty years later, the program has fed over 10 million steers and is the dominant leader in economic return for the producer.

The program is based on obtaining market weight within 12 months, creating a fully lean carcass.

It is ideal for existing dairy operations, as well as retired dairy producers, commercial feedlots, and calf growers. The Tend-R-Leen® program offers producers a tested method to significantly supplement cash flow and operation returns with low inputs.

Tend-R-Leen Features:

  • Over 40 years of proven success from coast to coast.

  • Over 10 million steers fed on the Tend-R-Leen®. program.

  • Lowest cost per pound of gain from the farm to the feedlot.

  • The simplest program requiring no grinding or processing of corn.

  • Less equipment and labor required.

  • Easily adapt an existing facility to fit program.

  • Up to 50% less manure.

  • Average daily gains up to 3.2 pounds or better.

  • Less than 6:1 feed to gain ratio from birth to market.

  • Less than 7:1 feed to gain ration for heavy short-term
