Welcome!

We are excited for this new venture of hosting our annual sale at the C Diamond Ranch and we want to formally invite you to join us. Since 2007 we’ve marketed our bulls in the Breeding for the Future production sale co-hosted with Wilkinson Farms Simmentals. As both of our programs and family partner numbers continue to grow, we felt it was time that we have separate sales and have decided to hold our annual sale at our ranch. We have appreciated the opportunity to work with the Schlenker family and have developed cherished friendships and a deep respect for their family and the Simmental cattle they produce. May God continue to bless their family as well as their business endeavors.

The bulls offered this year are our most impressive set yet! We have a larger group to select from and many new outcross matings! While we still have an extensive lineup of purebred Simmental bulls, we have expanded our SimAngus™ selections. By heavily utilizing embryo transplant, we’ve been able to propagate progeny from our top cow families with many full and half brothers selling this year. New sire groups, which include CDI Hometown, TJ Power Grid, and SVS Captain Morgan, are all outcross genetics, yet come from proven pedigrees. Along with our spring born bull crop we are debuting “Age Advantage” 18 month-old bulls, in which 95% are direct ET sons out of our top donor dams. We can’t wait for you to evaluate them.

Along with being in a new location at C Diamond Ranch in Neil and Carmen’s heated garage, the sale will also have a new format! This will be a video auction with the bulls being penned right outside for convenient viewing. No bulls will go through a ring. We hope you have a chance to visit the ranch before sale day to go through the bulls. We do offer a $100 sale day credit towards the purchase of a bull if you visit the ranch between Jan 1st and Feb 22nd. Videos of all the bulls will be available online in early February on dvauction.com. These videos are a valuable tool, along with the catalog, to help become familiar with the sale day offering. We will post a link on Facebook and on our website as soon as they are available.

We encourage you to come early on sale day as bulls will be on display by 9:30am and coffee and breakfast snacks will be available. We appreciate the opportunity to visit with each of you one on one, both to get an understanding of your program and to give recommendations of which bulls will work best for your specific needs.

We thank you for your support in the past and we look forward to serving you in the future. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

NEW THIS YEAR Docility Scores (Doc): New this year you will see a docility score for each animal. We use a scoring system from 1-6 with lower scores indicating calmer, gentler cattle: 1 – Docile; 2 – Restless; 3 – Nervous; 4 – Flighty; 5 – Aggressive; 6 – Very Aggressive. Most of the bulls will fall in the 1 or 2 category, with an occasional 3. Anything above a 3 is automatically culled from the bull pen. Please use this as a relative gauge for your operation. If you have a lot of help from your family or inexperienced workers while working with your cattle, we recommend buying 1 and 2 scoring cattle. 3’s are completely manageable but have at times shown to be more nervous. These scores are based on our daily interactions with the bull to date. Keep in mind, as an animal gets older, or with different handling, its attitude can change.

Genomic Enhanced EPDS: Many of the bulls selling in the 2016 Sale have

EPD’s enhanced with DNA technology. We are investing in the latest technology available to provide you with the most accurate EPD’s possible.

This technology improves the accuracy of EPDs on yearling bulls as if they were an older bull with progeny proof! You will see “Genomic Enhanced EPDs” at the beginning of the footnotes of the bulls that have genomic enhanced EPD profiles.

BELOW IS A QUICK REFERENCE TO AN EXPLANATION OF EPD’S: kidney, pelvic and heart fat. 3) hot carcass weight 4) rib eye area. A (–) EPD is better.

Marbling (MRB) marbling score.

Indexes: The last two columns in the EPD section are fairly new to the Simmental breed, but interesting, they are $ indexes. Though EPD’s allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes blend EPD’s & economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line.

All Purpose Index: (API) It is exactly what it says, all purpose.

This index includes every trait that can be calculated: calving ease, pounds at weaning and yearling, keeping replacements back, milking ability and stayability, then the calf crop. It took into consideration, some being retained as replacements, then the rest being fed out and sold grade and yield.

Terminal Index (TI): This index is to be used if all calves are going to a feedlot. It evaluates a sire only for use on mature cows with all calves put on feed and sold grade and yield. No other factors were figured in.

Using API and TI: First determine which index to use. If you’re breeding heifers and keeping replacements, use API. If all calves are going to the feedlot and finished, use TI.

Expected Progeny Differences “EPD’s” are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using the EPD differences between two sires EPD’s represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. (Listed below are the units ASA EPD’s are expressed in).

(Average EPD’s are on the bottom of the percentile table above ) Calving Ease (CE) percentage of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Birth Weight (BW) pounds of birth weight.

Weaning Weight (WW) pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW) pounds of yearling weight.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE) percentage of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

Maternal Milk (MM) pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW) pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Stayability (Stay) percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.

Carcass Weight (CW) pounds of carcass weight.

Yield Grade (YG) yield grade score.

Yield grade is an indication of the yield of red meat within a carcass.

It is calculated by using several factors including 1) fat thickness, 2)

A high calving ease son of Beef King that can be used confidently on heifers. He produces very moderate framed, dark red, muscular, sharp fronted sons and daughters. He has been used on our heifers for 3 years now and we are confident in his ability to reduce birth weight and calve easy. His first daughters will be calving spring of 2016. We expect udder structure to be excellent. This is a unique opportunity to capitalize on a proven herdsire! Lifetime pasture rights will sell on Feb 24th! Semen rights will be retained by C Diamond and Genex.

An ultra-low birthweight, calving ease prospect that will not only calve easy, but transmit eye appeal and thickness. His ratios are all above 100 and is top 1% for CE, BW, API and TI! A 61 lb BW to a 104 WW ratio is hard to pull off!

Another Rimrock x Teton cross that would be a great choice for a heifer bull and if you need a pair of similar type and pedigree, Lot 4 would be the bull to buy along with him. To have an actual 70 lb birth weight and still get over a 100 WW ratio is a feat in itself. Lots of maternal and milk built into this pedigree. Top 1% for CE, BW, API, and TI.

Ultra low birth weight, sleep all night heifer bull sums up Xpectation.

His daughters are now in production and have udder structure and milking ability to build a herd around. They are feminine and stylish. His sons have held our high selling spot in the bull sale two years in a row.

In the spring of 2014, Xpect was injured in a bull fight, fracturing his back leg, he healed up and collected a couple thousand units of semen and went back to breeding a small group of cows this past summer.

He would work well on a group of young cows, calving easy, maintaining growth, adding maternal, and significantly improving carcass value. Marb, REA, API and TI are all in the top 1% of the breed!

His young Beef King dam is a beautiful young cow that should someday be a donor female.

An Xpectation son with explosive performance, especially being out of a first calf heifer. He is a full brother in blood to Lot 16 and touts some of the highest performance numbers in the Xpectation sire group. His dam is a member of a terrific Beef King flush of daughters that were at the top of the “A” model females. This calf would work well on Red Angus based females to add heterosis and maternal qualities.

A powerful Northern son that shows the muscle and thickness he will transmit to his progeny. This calf has been a standout since early on and has not disappointed at any point. His Shear Force dam always brings in a top calf and has outdone herself again this year. 110 and 111 weaning and yearling indexes puts him in the top 2% of the breed for growth! Also one of the largest scrotals in the offering.

CDI MS CROCKET 110U DAM TO LOTS 22-30

An extremely moderate framed black Crocket daughter that has excelled ever since coming into production.

Her first calf, CDI Vegas, is a senior herdsire for Bichler Simmentals. Her 20+ ET calves sired by TJ Power Grid are outstanding, offering fresh new genetics to both the red and black Simmental world. She adds style, depth of body and has a near perfect udder.

Power Grid is a new AI sire to our program that we have used heavily in our ET program as a total outcross, but proven and predictable sire. His first two calf crops were feature sire groups for owners, Hansen Simmentals. We couldn’t be more excited about the calves we have on the ground and the genetic options they offer both to the red and black Simmental worlds. We used him on just about every donor we were flushing at the time and he worked well on every single one.

Mika 141M is one of the top Shear Force daughters in production. Ironically she is also is from his very first calf crop. She has been the poster child representing the maternal power that Shear Force sires. As a 13 year old cow, she possesses a foot and udder of a cow half her age. She has produced Hook’s Xpectation (2011 high seller), Hook’s Yukon (2012 high seller), CDI Iditarod (2013 high seller), CDI Beef King (2015 2nd high seller) and Hook’s Union 68U (2013 2nd high seller) who also resides here at C Diamond. We lost Mika in October of 2015, but will have progeny in the future due to a large bank of frozen embryos.

Genomic Enhanced EPDs. One of my very favorite Power Grid sons, his pedigree is all outcross, few pedigrees these days don’t have Shear Force at least once in there.

304C is all power, you can’t ask for any more thickness, depth of rib, or muscle yet should also produce phenomenal females and be a bull that can stamp perfect foot structure. Top 1-2 % for WW, YW, MM, and MWW. A combination that isn’t always easy to find.

LOT 36A Genomic Enhanced EPDs. The last couple years the Xpectation sons have been topping our sale - CDI North Dakota, CDI Perspective, and CDI Maverick –all having a positive impact on their new owner’s programs. Once again this year, we have an outstanding purebred son that we feel is in a league all of his own. His dam, HSF Red Fortunes Sis 33R has a long production history of producing standout, outcross genetics and we feel 255C has the potential be one of her greatest masterpieces yet!

When you evaluate him, you will find the most bone, muscle, frame and overall power that we’ve seen in an Xpectation son. He strides out on great Simmental feet, covering his tracks well and has just the right amount of set to his rear leg. He is quite possibly one of the best red herdsire prospects you will find this coming spring. 255C could easily go any direction desired. He has calving ease potential for Simmental heifers yet all kinds of power to be used on cows and he has the ability to add positve Simmental attributes for a Red Angus program looking for a Simmental sire. We anticipate that the daughters 255C will produce will be nothing short of spectacular!

His pedigree is stacked from top to bottom with some the most maternal, best uddered females and sires of the breed. Selling him was not as an easy decision as he is everything we look for in a potential herdsire. He will see heavy usage in our program this coming spring. C Diamond will retain fall pasture rights.

A Crocket sired daughter of the potent Mika cow who is following very closely in her mother’s footsteps. She is a feminine, angular female that reduces birthweight and adds milk. 68U was the 2nd high selling female in Hook’s 2013 mature female sale. Her 2015 born ET calves out of Perspective and Power Grid look outstanding.

Beef King has followed closely in his father’s (Beef Maker) footsteps. He consistently stamps his progeny with a clean made, muscular look that appeals to registered and commercial men alike. He is structurally flawless with a hoof that will last forever. His young daughters possess sound udders with small teats and tight attachment. Sons are now scattered across the country and continue to be one of the most popular sires groups at sale time. Semen available through Genex.

A larger framed Beef King son that is all power! He ranked #3 for WW with a 124 ratio. He’s the type of bull we’d use back on our commercial cows to produce top notch feeder steers. He will improve foot structure and add performance! Check out his data set and EPD projections for growth and ribeye. A top candidate for anyone looking to add explosive power to their calf crop!

NEW THIS YEAR Docility Scores (Doc): New this year you will see a docility score for each animal. We use a scoring system from 1-6 with lower scores indicating calmer, gentler cattle:

1 – Docile; 2 – Restless; 3 – Nervous; 4 – Flighty; 5 – Aggressive; 6 – Very Aggressive. Most of the bulls will fall in the 1 or 2 category, with an occasional 3. Anything above a 3 is automatically culled from the bull pen. Please use this as a relative gauge for your operation. If you have a lot of help from your family or inexperienced workers while working with your cattle, we recommend buying 1 and 2 scoring cattle. 3’s are completely manageable but have at times shown to be more nervous. These scores are based on our daily interactions with the bull to date. Keep in mind, as an animal gets older, or with different handling, its attitude can change.

26

Another older proven Shear Force donor that has flushed very well and has a solid production record. 3N had a stellar flush of United calves in the 2014 fall calves and her 2015 born TNT Axis bull calves are big, strapping, power bulls and will be well received come sale day.

A very stylish Taylor Made son that put together a solid, balanced data set and can be expected to calve easy while keeping above average growth and phenotype. He would cross well on Angus based genetics to add thickness and ribeye.

The Entrepreneur x Shear Force cross has been very consistent on producing easy doing, stylish progeny that excel for growth and carcass traits – 286C is no exception. He will have it covered – from calving easy, to above average growth, and phenomenal daughters.

Thick-made Entrepreneur son that is a perfect example of why the Entrep. sons were the high selling black sire group last year. They are extremely stout with excellent muscle expression. 302C’s dam is a model cow with great production record, ideal udder and perfect foot. 302C will produce an impressive set of feeder steers.

A high performance Capacity son that came in #1 for Adj WW. His birthweight is higher, but we don’t expect any calving ease issues and would confidently use him on our commercial cows. He is soggy made and full of muscle. The bottom side of his pedigree is all power and performance. We would recommend using him on mature cows.

AGE ADVANTAGE DIVISION For the first time, we are excited to offer 18 month old “Age Advantage” bulls for your consideration. We started a fall calving program in 2014 by purchasing Trans Ova recips pregnant with our own embryos and the following lots are the results of that first fall calf crop. These bulls are impressive and are ready to go to work! They have been developed in a way to ensure longevity and are ready for heavy service. All bulls selling are virgin bulls and will be semen tested before the sale. Delivery of the fall bulls will begin very shortly after sale day. You will notice that the data layout in the catalog will be a bit different than the spring born bulls. Being 95% of the fall bulls are embryo transplant calves, their individual weights do not contribute to their EPD calculations (just like all ET calves.) Management of the fall born calves was very different than the spring calving herd. After weaning, the fall calves were turned out on grass for the summer with no grain supplementation. The bulls were brought back home in October and started on a TMR ration with free choice grass hay that has been continued till sale day. We would like you to sort these bulls on their phenotype, EPD profiles, and pedigrees. The bulls have GGP-LD genomic enhanced EPDs and you will see varying EPD profiles within flush brothers to help identify genetic differences between them. Very few older bulls are offered in our north country and we hope in the future as the group of fall bulls being offered grows that customers have additional bulls to choose from within our program for their specific needs.

Genomic Enhanced EPDs. An exceptional flush of HXC Big Iron sons out of the Hook’s Mika 141M cow, whose has had a huge impact within our breeding program. Not only do Big Iron and 141M’s EPD profiles compliment each other well, but phenotypically they have really clicked. These bulls will be some of the best ½ bloods that you will find and to top if off they are out of one of the best red Simmy cows in the industry. This sire group is uniform from top to bottom and all offer genetic improvement to move your program to the next level. If you’ve been searching for a ½ blood herdsire, these bulls might just fit the ticket.

Genomic Enhanced EPDs. This group of flush brothers out of SVS Captain Morgan and Hook’s Mika 141M are a totally different type than the ½ blood flush.

These bulls have that attractive purebred Simmental look with plenty of bone, excellent depth of body and expressive muscle patterns. When searching for a Canadian bull to sample, Captain Morgan seemed like the logical choice. He was the high selling sim bull in Canada that year, selling for $190,000 and was used by many top Canadian programs. These sons offer an outcross pedigree to most US red sim genetics, but is yet a proven pedigree that can offer many different positive aspects. The foot quality of this flush is excellent along with added capacity and thickness. Take advantage of these extra aged bulls that can cover a big group of cows right away that first year!

Genomic Enhanced EPDs. A larger framed red Axis son that will add all the stretch and length you’d need to his calf crop. Everyone that has Axis females have been very satisfied with them, combine that with Mika on the bottom side and you will want to retain 484B’s daughters. His ET sister is another top young female in the replacement pen.

Lot 91 & 92 are full sibs in blood to our old herdsire, HSF High Roller. Many of you that have followed our program know the positive impact that High Roller had on our operation. This mating was done with the hopes of producing full sisters to High Roller, but only yielded bull calves! Gambler semen is not easy to find, making these bulls two rare genetic pieces. They have some extra skeletal frame and length to them. Like High Roller they should produce tremendous females.

This hetero black Xpectation son looks to be a calving ease deluxe bull. His dam was a beautiful Top Gun cow that could have been a donor. 485B should add plenty of milk with great udder structure to his daughters and should be able to cover a big group of heifers with ease.

A powerful coming 2 y/o bull that was a top calf from last years crop, but being a Mid-May calf, was held back to sell this year. His mother raised the high selling bull in the 2014 Sale and has quickly established her position as one of the top Beef King daughters. Her dam, Hook’s Union 68U and grandam, Hook’s Mika 141M’s progeny can be seen all throughout the catalog. 407B is as long as train and will add length of body and performance to his progeny. He was the 4th indexing calf last year for Adj WW (815 lbs) @ 118 WW ratio.

One of our most anticipated sire groups coming in 2016 will be the Prime Times. He was the best red bull of the 2014 calf crop. The total muscle and mass that he possesses while still having an EPD profile that predicts him to be a calving ease bull with top 1 percent growth is quite hard to find.

He is backed by a tremendous cow family - which only adds value to his already impressive data set.

A pedigree combination that we have been after for some time now. We had purchased Main Events full brother, TJ Center Stage, in 2013 but lost him before any semen could be collected. Main Event is almost an identical replica of his older brother and we are quite excited for his progeny coming in 2016. He is one of our most stylish herd sires with plenty of length and muscle. His EPD profile is hard to pick apart and he even has a chance at being a bull suitable for heifers.

There are many Shear Force sons that continue to have breed changing impact on the breed. We purchased Fortified as our replacement for Shear Force. He is a deep bodied with plenty of heart girth, heavy boned, yet still calves easy and has a trouble-free foot and excellent rear leg set. He is also homozygous black.
