Welcome to the Dikemans’ and Randy Huninghake’s 4th annual Simmental, SimAngus, Angus and Red Angus Bull and Female Sale! This is the fourth year of holding our sale at Kansas Bull Development on the Onaga Road Northeast of Wamego, KS, on Tuesday, March 5 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 and heifers before and after weaning, some on pedigree, some on performance after weaning, and some on disposition. Some of the Angus heifers are bred to calve in September. 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 and heifers will not be run through the ring but will be shown on large TV screens. However, the bulls and heifers 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. The heifers were selected for performance and would work great in either seedstock or commercial herds; several of them would make very good Jr. show heifers. A video of the bulls and heifers will be linked to our Web sites at “dikemansimmentals.org” and “HuninghakeAngusRanch.com” as well as on DVAuction. The Dikeman bulls are located in the middle pen on the North of 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. The Simmental/SimAngus heifers are located at the Heifer Development facility West of Onaga, KS North on Major Jenkins road. The Huninghake bulls and heifers (5 bred Angus and 10 open Angus and Red Angus) 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 SimAngus bulls and heifers are non-carriers of genetic defects as well as all Angus and Red Angus bulls and heifers. Ultrasound data for carcass traits are included in the catalog as well. Nearly all bulls and heifers are either sired by Artificial Insemination or Embryo Transfer. We developed the catalog with the bulls and heifers 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 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 and heifers. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, March 5. Lunch will be served at 11:30.

Bulls/Fertility Guarantee

All bulls were fertility tested by Dr. Vincent Traffas, (Simmentals and Dr. Griffin (Angus) and sell as guaranteed breeders for the first breeding season, through 2018. This guarantee does not include loss due to abuse, neglect, injury, illness and/or acts of God (lightning, flood, getting hit on a public road, etc.). We recommend retesting of bulls if bulls will not be used for 90 days after the sale. In the event 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. Note this does not cover death. We strongly recommend death insurance. 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.

Accommodations

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.

Sale Terms and Conditions

Semen Interest

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

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.

Pick-Up Discount/Volume Discounts/After Sale/Delivery

A $50 per bull discount is available to buyers who pay for their purchase(s) and take their bull(s) and/or heifers home on sale day or the next day. We will feed all other bulls and heifers free until April 1, and then $3.00 (bulls) or $2.50 (heifers) per day up to May 1, 2019 at which time bulls and heifers must leave KBD. Bulls and heifers will be delivered free up to 200 miles from KBD. We will work with you on economical delivery beyond that point. Cattle will not be delivered free after May 1. You will receive a $50 discount/bull or heifer if you purchase 2 or more bulls and/or heifers. ALL credits must be redeemed wtih the breeder they were purchased from.

On Line Phone Bids

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

Catalog Preparation

Catalog prepared by: Peverley Productions Cell - (785) 456-4428

Health/Management

The Value of Performance

Angus EPDs values above or below breed average

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 $180/100 lbs. would be worth at least $5,400 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Benefits of Crossbreeding

$ 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.

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 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.

$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.

Ultrasound Measurements Explained

Simmental EPDs values above or below breed average

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.

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. 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. DOC - A measure of disposition, breed average is 10.7. A higher value than 10.7 means that cattle are more docile than average. CW - Carcass Weight - pounds of carcass weight. YG - Yield Grade - tenths of a yield grade. MB - 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. Docility EPDs - A measure of disposition. Breed average is 10.8. A higher value than 10.7 means that cattle are more docile than average. SHR - Shear Force in pounds requried to shear through cores of cooked steaks. The more ‘negative’ a value is, the more tender meat is. Simmental breed average is -0.33. For example, a value of -.55 means more tender meat than average.

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.

Tips for Caring for a Yearling Bull Before Turning out 1. Your bull is still growing, make sure he is still getting energy in his diet before turnout.

2. Make sure your bull has something to run with when you get him home, do not pen him up alone. 3. Semen Check and pour and deworm before turnout.

During Breeding Season

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.

5 After Breeding Season

1. Your Bull needs energy in his diet, the best hay, and should be on a mineral program.

This is another wide based yearling bull that has the design to thrive in almost any climate and management system. If you run under tough conditions and ask extra from your bulls take a close look here. His dam is a super easy fleshing female with a great udder.

8510 is a really complete New Direction son that covers all the bases extremely well. He boosts a lot of performance and in fine toon package and will continue to develop quickly these next few months. He ranks in the top 9% for REA.

Here is a sound made bull that is very correct in his design. He is athletic and gets out on the move really well with a good strong hip, and extra performance. Should be the female making type.

8503 has a neat profile that balances out very well. With a square rump and an attractive make to him you won’t go wrong with this one. This bull should work great on a set of heifers with his 65-pound birth weight.

program. I have enjoyed showing cattle and have had champions at the Kansas State Fair and the Kansas Beef Expo, but raising show cattle is not my goal. My objective is to raise cattle that are polled, solid colored, and very functional for use in the commercial market with a strong emphasis on carcass quality. Ralph Brooks

The Dikeman Family!

We began using Simmental semen in 1971 and our herd has grown from 4 cows to about 55 breeding age females. Our children, Mark and Becca, showed Simmental heifers in state, regional, and national Junior Classics; and both were on the KJSA and National AJSA Boards. Michael served two terms on the ASA Board and led efforts to initiate ASA’s Total Herd Enrollment, the Simmental ID system, and the Performance Advocate program.

females that calve easily are selected as replacement heifers. EPDs are used in selection and carcass quality is stressed. Only AI sire having sound EPDs and correct structure are selected. Both red and black cows comprise the herd of about 40 head. This is one of the earliest Simmental herds established in America still in continuous operation. Calvin is a retired professor of Animal Science at Kansas State University and spent several years in the cattle feeding industry.

The Huninghake Family!

The Schaake’s have been breeding Simmental cattle since 1974, after an introduction to the breed when Scott showed the Grand Champion steer (Simmental x Hereford) at the county fair. Artificially breeding our black cows to Simmental bulls gave us our start in black-factored Simmental genetics in 1975. In fact, many of our leading cow families Huninghake Angus Ranch is located in the Northeast KansasSheinremained Marshall trace back to “Chipper N726”, who defined word “longevity” a County.

Attention to structural correctness, fleshing ability and marketing appeal has been a priority since day one.

We are striving to provide cattle that will work for our customers by raising them in a similar working environment. Our bulls go to the good commercial cattlemen selecting profitable genetics for their operations.

Shane, Shilo, Scott & Kandi

Randy & Melissa

Our cattle will make a positive contribution and will improve every sector of the beef cattle industry. These Angus cattle will meet the current and future needs of the beef industry. They have the quality to be used in purebred and commercial operations. This includes raising elite Angus bulls that grow fast and efficiently, be easy to handle, will calve easy, and will produce excellent steers and replacement heifers. We continually place particular emphasis on dispositions, structural correctness, performance and udder quality. We put a strong emphasis on genetic selection and performance data. We strive to produce outstanding cows with extreme longevity. Please feel free to contact or visit. We would enjoy the opportunity to discuss our herd with you. We appreciate the interest of those who are looking into our bulls.

Thank you for coming!
