Welcome to the Dikemans’ and Randy Huninghake’s 1st annual Simmental, SimAngus, and Angus Bull Sale!

This is the first year of holding our own sale at Kansas Bull Development on the Onaga Road Northeast of Wamego, KS, March 11 at 3:30 p.m. This is the first year for Dikemans’ new brand that is on the left hip. We use the philosophy 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 at Kansas Bull Development, and some on disposition.

The auction format will be casual, relaxed, and personal with Andrew Sylvester 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.

But, the bulls will be on display close by. We think there are a few bulls of high quality for use in registered seedstock operations. A video of the bulls will be linked to our Web site at “dikemansimmentals.org” or huninghakeangusranch.com. The Simmental bulls are located in the most Northeast pen at KBD and are available for viewing at any time. There are bulls from another breeder in that same pen, but ours have a green ear tag and our freeze brand. Huninghake Angus bulls can be viewed before the sale at their farm.

Our bulls will have been tested for PI-BVD, Leukosis, Brucellosis, and genetic defects. All bulls being sold passed a breeding soundness exam, and were vaccinated for Lepto-Vibrio. All SimAngus bulls are non-carriers of genetic defects as well as Randy’s fall and yearling Angus bulls. Ultrasound data for carcass traits are included in the catalog as well. 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 bulls and their corresponding data during the sale. In appreciation for recommending our sale to friends and neighbors, we are offering a $50 cash discount to customers whose referral purchase a bull. We are committed to Performance, Excellence, and Integrity.

Thank you for your interest in Dikeman Simmentals and Randy Huninghake’s Angus bulls. We look forward to seeing you on Friday, March 11. Lunch will be served at 2:00.

Sale Terms and Conditions

All animals sell under the terms and conditions set forth by their representative breed association.

Health/Management

All bulls have received IBR, BVD, P13, BRSV, 7-way blackleg; and at least two rounds of Ivermectin or Dectomax (for internal and external parasites). In addition, the bulls were vaccinated with Spirovac VL5 (new Lepto-Hardjo + four other strains). All bulls were tested for brucellosis, and Leukosis.

Bulls/Fertility Guarantee

All bulls were fertility tested by Dr. Lee Penner, DVM, and Dr. Robert Griffin, DVM, and sell as guaranteed breeders for the first breeding season, through 8-15-16. This guarantee does not include loss due to abuse, neglect, illness and/ or acts of God (lightning, flood, etc.). We recommend retesting of bulls before pasture turn out. In the event a bull is not a breeder, he will be replaced or credit will be given on another bull. Note this does not cover death. We strongly recommend death insurance.

Semen Interest

Each owner is retaining1/4 semen interest in all bulls unless otherwise announced. 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.

Catalog Preparation

On Line Phone Bids

If you are unable to be at the sale it will be broadcast live on DV Auction.

The Value of Performance

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. Using current calf prices, a bull that sires an average of 25 calves per year for 4 years and adds 30 lbs. average weaning weight per calf at $200/100 lbs. would be worth at least $6,000 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.

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 130 would be worth $30 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 $3,600!

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, compard 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 percentage 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 replacements. Using Simmental and SimAngus bulls on Angus, Red Angus or Baldy cows; or Angus bulls on Simmental Angus, 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.

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 inchest/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 1.75 to 4.0%.

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 - pounds of birth weight 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.

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

MW - Maternal WW - pounds of weaning weight due to dam’s milk and growth.

CW - Carcass Weight - pounds of carcass weight.

YG - Yield Grade - tenths of a yield grade.

MB - Marbling - percent of marbling score or %IMF BF - Back Fat or Rib Fat - inches of carcass back fat thickness.

REA - Ribeye Area - square inches of ribeye API - All Purpose Index - $ per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario.

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

Angus EPDs - values

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.

He was a standout all summer alongside his dam that was a first calf heifer. We believe that his flawless pedigree and remarkable phenotype makes him a front end herd bull contender.

This thick topped individual will transmit extra size and performance into his progeny which in return earns profit for those who sell their calves by the pound. Adjusted WW was 840 pounds with a ratio of 105. He also earned an ADJ YW of 1,328 pounds with a ratio of 110.

5104 is another long bodied bull that is really taking off. He should work good on heifers. He has great calving ease traits with a BW EPD of -0.7 and a CED of 12. Could be a sleeper, if you are breeding heifers. You will like the way the Stingray calves are made. They have a lot of style. If you are keeping replacements 5104 should leave some good daughters and the steers should sell themselves.

He is a little younger but he is really coming on strong. 5107 is a bull that could be used as a combination bull for someone just wanting to use one bull on all their cows and heifers.

The Stingray bulls should make females that calve easy and grow really fast. We like the profile of this Stingray bull.
