Welcome to the Dikemans’ and Randy Huninghake’s 2nd annual Simmental, SimAngus, and Angus Fall and Spring Bull Sale! This is the second year of holding our own sale at Kansas Bull Development on the Onaga Road Northeast of Wamego, KS, March 10 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 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 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”. The Dikeman 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. The Huninghake bulls are at their ranch near Frankfort and can be viewed at any time.

Our bulls have been tested for 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 all 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 referrals 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 10. Lunch will be served at 11:30.

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).

Bulls/Fertility Guarantee

All bulls were fertility tested by Dr. Benson Traffas, DVM from Smith Center, KS. (Simmentals) and Dr. Robert Griffin, DVM, (Angus)and sell as guaranteed breeders for the first breeding season, through 2017. 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.). 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 or credit will be given on another bull. 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 to make sure bulls are breeding cows.

Semen Interest

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

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 $170/100 lbs. would be worth at least $5,100 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Randy Bollum near Calgary, Canada bought the 7 year old bull in our sale last year and sent this message:

Double Down is doing fine and still has his unbeatable nice disposition. We put him out in a very scenic pasture in the Rocky Mountain foothills west of Calgary late Summer and Fall where he ran with all my Simmental cows plus some of my Angus-based Limousin cows (about 35 head). Up till breeding season he continued to do well, putting on more weight and looked fantastic. He slimmed down during breeding, and I have him on a bit of a leaner ration through the winter now - he will put some weight back on when grass time comes; we won’t be using him until late August to get our June 1st calves.

5218 is a stout profiling Counselor son that offers unbelievable squareness and rib shape. His Rib Eye at .94 ranks in the top 10%. Nice Ribeye. His dam has a perfect udder and great disposition. This should translate into his offspring. If his calves, look as good as this bull they should demand top dollar when sold.

I really like the way this bull is put together. He has the thickness in all the right places.

This bull has a lot of thickness through his mid-section and really expresses his muscling. One look at him and you will know you will like seeing him with your cows. He should leave a great set of females that are worth keeping.

Dakota is out of one of my favorite cows. He is thick, balanced, and correct and attractive. His daughters should milk well. A great commercial bull.

We purchased our first Dikeman bull four years ago, a Stetson son. He worked very well on our older herd and first calvers. Second bull was a Legacy son out of a Gambler daughter, with good EPDs that fit our program. We’re keeping replacement heifers and selling bull prospects, and calves off wheat pasture. Michael’s bulls have great dispositions, are easy travelers, and fully functional to get the job done. Last year, one set of weaned calves averaged 724 lb for steers and 690 for heifers with no creep. These bulls work!

Daniel is out of a very thick, deep bodied cow. He is also exceptionally deep ribbed, thick, and moderate sized. He excels in both MB and REA. He is ‘easy going’ and will make a great commercial bull.

Powerful is the best way to describe this bull. Few yearling Simmental bulls are as thick, deep and stout as Durango. He has a long stride but is a little sickle hocked. Two of his full brothers were purchased by a registered Angus breeder to make SimAngus bulls.

Daringer is out of a 12 year old cow and she has produced several full brothers to Daringer, two of which are in registered seed-stock herds. Daringer’s daughters will make good cows and stay in the herd a long time. A full sister is one of my favorite cows.

Powerful is the only way to describe this bull. Despite his 111 lb. BW, his CE EPD is a little better than breed average. He was long bodied at birth and still is, and has a relatively narrow head. His adj. WW was 922 lb. (no creep) and his adj. YW was 1467. That puts his WW and YW EPDs in the top 2% of the breed.

His dam catches peoples’ eyes and she would be competitive in the show ring. I am very confident that Dusty would not cause calving problems when mated to mature cows. He will add lots of pounds to your calves.

Dagwood is out of a very good, thick cow with a great udder. He too is thick and has a lot of body capacity. He ranks above breed average for 9 EPDS/Indexes and excels in MB (top 4%). A great commercial bull.

Daxon is an attractive bull that is very good for WW and YW and excels in REA EPD (top 1%). He is out of one of our best cows. You will like this bull.

Dorian excels in CE and BW EPDS and could be used on heifers. He excels in Stayability and Docility and ranks in the top 1% of Simmentals for API. He is out of an especially nice young cow. Take a look at him.

Durant was born about 12 hours before his twin sister who was in an abnormal presentation and was dead. Durant’s dam was 14 years old and the dam and grand-dam of two bulls in AI studs. She produced 26 embryos on a flush while nursing Durant. He is younger than all of our bulls.

Brooks Simmentals was started in 1986 when I purchased two black Simmental cows and today that has grown to 70. Cattle and land are owned together with my parents, John and Wilma Brooks. AI has been used from the beginning and ET was started in 1997. Today, most calves are produced through ET and it has become a major factor in upgrading my 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.

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.

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.
