Welcome to the Dikemans’ and Randy Huninghake’s 6th annual Simmental, SimAngus, Angus and Red Angus Bull Sale! This is the sixth year of holding our sale at Kansas Bull Development on the Onaga Road Northeast of Wamego, KS, on Saturday, March 13 at 1:00 p.m. Our philosophy is that “The ‘quality’ goes in before the brand goes on”. This means that we cull some bulls before and after weaning, some on pedigree, some on performance after weaning, and some on disposition.

The auction format will be casual, relaxed, and personal with Colonel Mike Williams as the auctioneer. We will be using DV Online Auction, so the bulls will not be run through the ring but will be shown on large TV screens. However, the bulls will be on display 50 yards from the sale ring. We think there are several bulls of high quality for use in registered seedstock operations. A video of the bulls will be linked to our Web sites at “dikemansimmentals.com” and “HuninghakeAngusRanch.com” as well as on DVAuction. The Dikeman bulls are located in the most Northwest pen and are available for viewing at any time. Look for the sign. There are bulls from another breeder in that same pen, but ours have a green ear tag and our freeze brand. The Huninghake Angus and Red Angus bulls are at their ranch near Frankfort and can be viewed at any time.

Our bulls have been tested for genetic defects. All bulls being sold have passed a breeding soundness exam and have had a ‘Federal ID tag’ placed in their ear making them ready for interstate movement. All yearling SimAngus bulls are non-carriers of genetic defects as well as all Angus and Red Angus bulls. Ultrasound data for carcass traits are included in the catalog as well. Nearly all bulls are either sired by Artificial Insemination or Embryo Transfer.

We developed the catalog with the bulls listed in sale order to allow you to more easily keep track of the cattle and their corresponding data during the sale. In appreciation for customers recommending our sale to friends and neighbors, we are offering a $50 cash discount to customers whose referrals purchase a bull. And, there is a $50 per bull discount for buyers who pay for their purchase(s) and take their bulls home on sale day or the next day.

We are committed to Performance, Excellence, and Integrity.

Thank you for your interest in Dikeman Simmentals and Randy Huninghake’s Angus and Red Angus bulls. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, March 13. Lunch will be served at 11:30.

Bulls/Fertility Guarantee

Accommodations

All bulls were fertility tested by Dr. Mark Spare (Simmentals) and Dr. Griffin (Angus and Red Angus) and sell guaranteed for 3 years. If any bull purchased from Dikeman or Huninghake proves to be structurally unsound (because of swollen hocks, bow legged, post-legged, or stifled not due to injury) or fails to pass a breeding soundness exam after the 1st year, provided that the bull’s incapacity was not caused by injury or disease or poor nutritional management, the value remaining is calculated by reducing 1/3 of the purchase price/year for the 2nd and 3rd years. This guarantee does not include loss due to abuse, neglect, illness and/or acts of God (lightning, flood, getting hit on a public road, etc.) or death. This guarantee only applies if a bull is in a single pasture, unless another bull(s) was purchased in the same year and managed together from the same breeder. If a bull is turned out with one or more bulls from a different breeder or with an older bull, we will only provide 50% coverage for the 1st year for injury to penis or structure. If a bull develops foot rot, or disease, or has a penile cut or break, or testicle injury, or freeze damage, or punctured hooves, the guarantee will not apply. In the event that a bull is not a breeder, he will be replaced if one is available, or credit will be given on another bull in next year’s sale. We strongly recommend death insurance. If bulls are not going to be turned out for more than 60 days after our sale, we recommend that they be re-tested. We also recommend that buyers observe bulls at least twice a week for more than a month after turnout to make sure bulls are breeding cows.

Wamego Inn & Suites - Wamego, KS 888-978-1944 Please call if you need help with your travel arrangements.

Insurance

Insurance will be provided by Jensen Livestock Agency.

Shelia Jensen - 785-262-1116. We highly recommend purchasing insurance if you do not take your bull on sale day, as cattle become the property of the buyer at the end of the sale.

Each owner is retaining1/4 semen interest in all bulls. The owner of the bull would receive 3/4 of the income from semen sales minus expenses. For most commercial programs, this will not interfere with the natural service use of the bull. It means that the breeder may want to arrange with the buyer to collect semen on a bull. Or, in the case that the bull proves to be a superior sire, and the buyer and/or breeder market semen on a bull, the breeder would share in 1/4 of the profit and get semen at cost.

The Value of Performance

placements. Using Simmental and SimAngus bulls on Angus, Red Angus or Baldy cows; or Angus bulls on Simmental SimAngus, Hereford, or Baldy cows to create crossbred feeder calves and replacements is a great way to capitalize on heterosis. Research at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center shows that Simmental and Angus breeds rank first or second among Continental and British breeds, respectively, in nearly all traits studied.

Simmental and SimAngus bulls can easily add 30-50 lbs. to weaning weights in British based cowherds, and their progeny will perform well in the feed yard and on the rail if you retain ownership until harvest. In addition, females from Simmental and SimAngus sired calves would make great replacements, especially when the females are Simmental x British crosses. If a bull that sires an average of 25 calves per year for 4 years and adds 30 lbs. average weaning weight per calf at $160/100 lbs. would be worth at least $4,800 more than the price of a bull that adds no additional weight at weaning. You can do the math if they add more weaning weight than 30 lbs. and sell for a higher price than this example.

Get Paid for Looking

We will ‘pay’ you to look at our bulls prior to sale day!

If you meet with the seller of Dikeman or Huninghake bulls or heifers prior to sale day to look at the bulls or heifers, we will deduct $100 from the purchase per bull.

For producers who keep replacement females and retain ownership through the feedlot of all steers and heifers not kept for replacements, the American Simmental Association All Purpose Index (API) does a great job of identifying potential value differences among bulls. For example, a bull with an API of 140 would be worth $40 more per calf than a sire with an API of 100. Using these two example API values, if a bull produces 30 calves per year for 4 years, the value difference between these two bulls is $4,800!

Angus EPDs values above or below breed average

CED - Calving Ease Direct is expressed as the difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers.

BW – Actual birth weight taken at calving.

WW – Weaning weight adjusted to 205 day equivalent and adjusted for dam’s age.

YW – Yearling weight adjusted to 365 day equivalent.

SC – Scrotal circumference measured to the nearest 0.5 cm. and adjusted to 365 day equivalent.

CEM - Maternal CE - % unassisted births from calving daughters.

Milk - Maternal Milk - pounds of weaning weight due to dam’s milk.

CW - Carcass Weight - pounds of carcass weight.

Marbling - percent of marbling score or %IMF REA – The cross-sectional area of the ribeye muscle at a point between the 12th and 13th rib. Ribeye area is used in the calculation of yield grade.

Fat - Back Fat or Rib Fat - inches of carcass back fat thickness. $ Value Indexes $ Values are multi-trait selection indexes expressed in dollars per head, to assist commercial beef producers. Just as with EPD’s, variation in $ Values between animals indicates average expected differences in relative value of progeny if random mating is assumed and the calves are exposed to the same environment. $W: Weaned Calf Value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size. A larger number is favorable for selecting more cost effective females in most environments. $B: Beef Value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. The $B value combines the contributions of $F and $G. $C: Combined Value expressed in dollars per head, includes all 15 traits involved in $M and $B. $C aims for maximum profitability with cowherds that retain some heifers for replacements, but retain ownership on cull heifers and all steers through the feedlot and sell on a quality based carcass grid.

For Angus bulls, $Value Indexes are expressed in dollars per head to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.

Weaned Calf Value $W (an index value epressed in dollars per head) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk and mature cow size. For example, a bull with a $W value of $70 would be expected to produce calves worth $20 more per calf than a bull with a $W value of $50.

Benefits of Crossbreeding

Capitalizing on ’heterosis’ by crossbreeding is a very valuable tool in beef cattle production. Probably the most significant and long term study of heterosis was conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Nebraska. That study showed that 80 crossbred cows producing crossbred calves are as economical in life cycle production as 100 straight bred cows raising straight bred calves! This 20% bonus in efficiency starts with the increased fertility of crossbred cows, which is followed by increased vigor and hardiness of the newborn calves. Crossbred cows producing crossbred calves wean a higher percent- age of calf crop and the calves are heavier. This carries over to increased performance of the calves in the feedlot. Crossbred calves also usually sell for higher prices. In addition to all of these advantages, longevity of crossbred cows is also increased, which means that more heifers can be sold or finished in a feedlot rather than kept for re-

Ultrasound Measurements Explained

Fat Thickness - measured at the 12th-13th rib and reported in inches. Most of the fat thickness measurements on these bulls are in a very desirable range; which means they have some fat cover, but are not fat.

Ribeye Area - measure at the 12th-13th rib and reported in square inches. REA is an important component of the USDA yield grade determinations of beef carcasses. Larger ribeyes result in more desirable yield grade numbers and a higher percent of the carcass as trimmed retail product. Yearling bulls should have at least 1.1 square inches/100 lb. of live weight, and larger ribeye areas are generally more desirable. However, extremely large ribeyes (> 1.3 square inches/100 lb. of live weight) are not necessarily desirable. %Intramuscular Fat - percentage of Intramuscular Fat, (%IMF) measured in a longitudinal scan of the ribeye muscle from the 11th to the 13th rib. It is a measure of marbling, which is the primary factor that determines USDA quality grade of carcasses. %IMF values for yearling Simmental bulls generally fall in the range of 2.5% to 5.0%.

Yield Grade - EPDS for Yield Grade are calculated from ultrasound measurements. YG is the USDA grading system for determining % meat yield differences among carcasses. USDA yield grades are numbered 1-5, with 1 representing a very muscular, trim carcass with a high % meat yield; and a 5 representing a very fat, light-muscled carcass with a low % meat yield. Yield grades can be calculated to the nearest 10th, such as 2.5, 3.9, etc. The average range for Simmental sired progeny would be about 2.2-2.8.

Simmental EPDs values above or below breed average

CE - Calving Ease - % unassisted births from two-year old heifers. Example: For a CE EPD of 15, one would expect 10% more unassisted births than for a bull with an EPD of 5.

BW - Birth Weight - Actual birth weight taken at calving.

WW - Weaning Weight - pounds of weaning weight due to growth.

YW - Yearling Weight - pounds of yearling weight due to growth.

MCE - Maternal CE - % unassisted births from calving daughters.

Milk - Maternal Milk - pounds of weaning weight due to dam’s milk.

Docility EPDs - A measure of disposition. Breed average is 11.8. A higher value than 11.8 means that cattle are more docile than average.

CWT - Carcass Weight - pounds of carcass weight.

YG - Yield Grade - tenths of a yield grade.

MRB - Marbling - percent of marbling score or %IMF REA - Ribeye Area - square inches of ribeye SHR - Shear Force in pounds required to shear through 1/2 inch cores of cooked steaks. The more ‘negative’ a value is, the more tender the meat is. Simmental breed average is -0.33.

For example, a value of -0.55 means more tender meat than average.

API - All Purpose Index - $ per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario.

TI - Terminal Index - $ per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario.

WOW what a way to start our Angus offering. He has all the phenotype qualities we look for in an elite herd sire prospect. Rarely do you find a bull that possesses his added length and tremendous muscle dimension down his top and hip. For a power bull, he is still clean fronted and smooth sided. He is a bull that will help you attain your goals.

3-Year Guarantee

All bulls sell with a 3-year guarantee on feet & legs and semen. If a bull’s feet & legs go bad and he fails a semen check for the following seasons after purchased, a credit will be provided for those breeding seasons. Credit will equal the remaining years on the purchase price minus the salvage value. For example, if a bull fails a soundness or semen test the third year, a 33% credit will apply. Illness, foot rot, or injury to feet and legs will not be covered. A statement from a veterinarian must be provided for a claim for unsoundness or failure of a semen test.

9215 is an elite calving-ease prospect that should be considered by even the most particular cattle producers. Not many times will you find a true calving-ease prospect that has the base width and true muscle dimension down his top like lot 11 has. His maternal foundation is second to none and, therefore, we’d expect his impact to be long-term in producing fancy, productive daughters.

9214 has a commanding herd bull presence that cattle producers will certainly not have a difficult time seeing. He is one of our favorites – and for good reason. His unique blending of elite performance, phenotypic design, and backed by cow power is a rare find. His power and true dimension are blended tremendously well into a sound-structured, soft-middled package with added size and length. He ranks in the top 10% for WW and YW.

9210 is a very long bull with a little extra frame. He is the bull for the cowman that wants to sell pounds, no doubt he will put calves on the ground that grow. His dam is a clean made long bodied cow that milks very well. There is so much good no matter how you look at him.

He should add value and profit to your bottom line.

9246 is one of the younger individuals in the offering of angus bulls. However, you’d certainly never guess it appraising him in the same pen with bulls that are a month older than him. Truly a phenotype standout. He packs extra red meat and shape into a clean-fronted, smooth-sided package, and travels with fluency and authority. He ranks in the top 20% for WW and YW. He also ranks in the top 25% for RE and $B and top 35% for Marb.

This bull is deep sided, thick made, and stout from end to end. His most valuable attribute may only be realized in a couple years when his daughters come into production. He is out of a cow that seems to always raise a top calf. From day one this bull was a standout that shined.

His dam is sound footed with picture-perfect udder. Don’t let his birthdate scare you, he is a younger bull that has performed very well.

During Breeding Season

CW Marb RE Fat $W $B 37 .83 .79 .008 61 150 65 20 20 45 40 20

1. Run your bull with a manageable number of head. It is recommended that your bull runs with 1 cow per month of age.

15 months old = 15 cows or heifers.

2. Duration of breeding season should be managed. Running a yearling bull out over 60 days will cause a bull’s body score to go down.

It is hard on a yearling bull.

3. Check your bull daily to make sure all appears well and cows don’t seem to be recycling.

This Denver bull carries the thickness down to his top and throughout his profile to make a well-balanced individual. If you need to add some eye appeal to your calf crop this bull can do it. He ranks in the top 20% if WW, YW, Marb, RE and $B.
