It is with much anticipation and excitement that we welcome you back to the Ranch for our 11th Annual C Diamond Production Sale! We thoroughly enjoyed hosting the Sale at the Ranch last year and appreciated the ease of the video auction format. We hope you did as well! Despite the ups and downs of the current market cycle, we are enthusiastic about the future of the beef industry and continue to invest in and move forward with the best Simmental genetics that we can find. We feel the future of the industry will reward those that seek to breed well balanced, high performance cattle with superior carcass traits. We love the Simmental breed for the versatility and functionality it offers. They really can do it all! The 2017 seed stock offering is powerful in phenotype, sound structured and backed by an exceptional EPD profile! We have a large group to select from and many new outcross matings! New sire groups include WS Prime Time B6, TJ Main Event, and W/C Executive Order! 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. We’ve also decided to offer an elite group of bred Registered heifers. Whether you are looking for your next donor prospect or just adding productive females with leading pedigrees to your operation, these females will not disappoint! Fifty red and black open heifers out of the heart of our commercial herd will also be sold! The commercial heifers are sired by C Diamond bulls. The sale format will again be a video auction with the bulls being penned right outside for convenient viewing. You will have the option to bid in person or online through DV Auction. We have a wonderful team of reputable sale reps available to assist you if you are unable to attend. We invite you to visit the ranch, located just 10 miles south of I-94, exit 208 on Hwy 3, to become familiar with the sale offering. Allow a little extra time to inspect the dams and other related bloodlines. We offer a $100 sale day credit good towards the purchase of a bull to anyone visiting the ranch between January 1 and February 20. Videos of all the bulls will be available online early in February on dvauction.com. We will post a link on Facebook and on our website as soon as they are available. We hope to see you on February 22! The bulls will be on display by 9:30am and coffee, donuts and breakfast snacks will be available. A complimentary lunch will be served from 11:00am to 12:45pm! 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.

ADG & Feed Ration

Terms of the sale are cash/check. Every animal will be sold to the highest bidder. Announced changes in the catalog information on sale day take precedence over printed material in this catalog. All animals listed in catalog having Homozygous Black or Homozygous Polled are done so to the best of our knowledge. We are not liable for any inaccuracies. All cattle sell under the terms and conditions of the American Simmental Association.

The average daily gains were figured on a 121 day test. We work with PNC Feeds of Hebron, ND for balancing the ration.

Delivery:

The fall bulls will be delivered shortly after the sale. Yearling bulls will be fed for free, semen tested and delivered after April 1st. Bulls will be delivered free of charge up to 250 miles from the ranch. We will work with the buyer to arrange the most economical delivery for distances beyond 250 miles.

Liability:

Any person attending the sale does so at his/her own risk. Neither the sale management, owners, nor any person connected with this sale, assumes any liability, legal or otherwise.

**All heifers need to be hauled home sale day

Insurance:

Any cattle selling to Canada will be delivered to the nearest ND/CAN border crossing facility. Buyers will be responsible for any costs associated with testing/clearance for export.

We will not be responsible for death or injury. We highly recommend that you insure your bulls. Insurance will be available sale day.

Semen Interest:

C Diamond Simmentals reserves 1/3 semen interest and the right to collect semen on any bull sold in this sale (for in-herd use only). This would be done at seller’s expense and buyer’s convenience.

Docility Scores (Doc): Please note the 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 2017 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.

CDI OUTCAST // LOT 1

Genomic Enhanced EPDs pending. Outcast is a very unique lot for a Simmental sale. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the result of a very small, but hopefully elite, Angus program. His dam, 6566 is a full sister to SAV Blackcap May 4136, the most well known and highest income producing cow at SAV. Sired by Pioneer, Outcast is a full brother in blood to the $725,000 SAV Pedigree. As his picture portrays, Outcast has super front end extension and style, plenty of depth and quarter, and strides out on a nice Angus foot. Take advantage of being able to purchase a royally bred Angus herd sire in a sale where no one else is looking!!!

The first Prime Time calf crop has solidified his producing ability as a true “spread” bull. He works well both on heifers and cows, siring well above average muscle and power. Red Simmental bulls with his EPD profile are few and far between. The cow family backing Prime Time only adds value to his impressive data set. Semen is available from C Diamond and Wilkinson Farms Simmentals. CE

Genomic Enhanced EPDs. The man among the boys in the 2017 calf crop. 310D has blown through every hurdle we set before him. He’s one of the most massive middled, big topped, and muscular herd sire prospects you’ll find this spring. His cow family is phenomenal. Dam is an outlier for phenotype and “spread” EPD profiles, Grandam has been admired by everyone that sees her for her moderate, stylish profile and perfect udder and foot. Prime Time has done a great job in our program, but 310D might have even raised the bar a little higher.

Genomic Enhanced EPDs. An ET brother to Lot 2. 297D is following closely behind his big brother in the rankings of Prime Time sons. His data set and EPD projections are extremely impressive, combine that with his balanced, muscular profile, and you’ve got a bull that should be on your short list. High percentage Sim bulls with that kind of birth to yearlings spreads are hard to find.

All of these brothers scanned great for marbling, buy the group and have the most consistent group of calves out of your 1st calvers as you could from natural service. Also raised by a first calf heifer recip.

Genomic Enhanced EPDs pending. This Maverick son is a great heifer bull or young cow prospect. He’s been a favorite all summer long. His Red Coat mother is a promising young cow out of Mika. His data is extremely solid and EPD profile impressive. You will see more Maverick cattle in the future as they have been very well received and he has had great customer success to those who have used him AI. Would be a great option to cross on Red Angus cows to add a bit extra stretch and muscle to them.

W/C Executive Order was the 2015 Werning high seller, topping out at $71,000. He’s one of the most impressive 3/4 bulls that has surfaced in some time. An added bonus is that he is carrying the red gene and offers a fresh new pedigree to incorporate into our red genetics. Evaluate his sons and you’ll be impressed by their very complete, soft, stylish look, with great length, muscle and thickness.

Main Event’s first calf crop has been one of the most impressive and consistent sire groups of 2016. The depth of quality in both bulls and heifers is what we look for in herd sires. He transmits his exceptional “look” with plenty of length and muscle, all in a moderate structurally correct frame. He has seen heavy use in both spring and fall here. His combination of calving ease and performance is almost unheard of. Semen available through C Diamond, Triangle J Ranch, and Allied Genetic Resources. CE

327D comes from the same cow family as CDI Abundance and 400D. He has that same Makers Mark look to him. Expect him to be an all around bull that has no holes. 73U has been one of those cows that just gets her job done quietly every year, no glamour and noise, just all around solid producing cow.

Genomic Enhanced EPDs. The only Wide Range son in this years offering, but is a really good one at that! Wide Range has seen heavy usage and is respected for his ability to add tremendous depth of body and softness to his progeny. 287D is a stylish son with that depth and quality. 71Z is a super uddered Sharper Image cow that we’ve done a bit of ET work with and will have more progeny out of in the future.

DJF FORTIFIED A357 // SIRE TO LOT 66

BELOW IS A QUICK REFERENCE TO AN EXPLANATION OF EPD’S: 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)

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.

HOOKS APOLLO 21A SIRE TO LOTS 67-69

Apollo is one of our choices to move forward with the W/C United bloodline. He adds extra length of body, style and frame. His progeny have explosive performance as his EPDs project. He’s a must use if you’re wanting to add pounds, frame, and carcass value. We will calve his first daughters in 2017. Semen available through C Diamond.

AGE ADVANTAGE DIVISION

Once again, we are excited to offer 18 month old “Age Advantage” bulls for your consideration. 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. 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. 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. When Doug Bichler and I purchased WS Mother Lode W21, we suspected that she was something really special. The very next year WS Prime Time came on the scene (her grandson) and this past year BCLR Wide Load a direct W21 son sold for $25,000 to Genex. This year we have something just as special for your consideration…..CDI Witness 541C. A purebred bull that possesses all the best of his mother- super sound, deep bodied, bold sprung with great feet and muscle expression. Otis is an outlier for extreme calving ease coupled with breed leading growth, and we expect Witness to be one of his very best sons to date. His EPD profile is second to none, with his birth to yearling spread exactly where you’d like it and top 10 percent MCE and MM. His pedigree is just enough different to get really excited, but still a proven pedigree. We look far and wide for this type of breeding animal and will use him heavily in our program. To top it off he is Homo Black and extra aged, ready to cover a big group of cows and freeze semen.

Genomic Enhanced EPDS. One of the biggest and powerful bulls in this fall group. He will add a big of extra stretch and pop to his calves. His daughters also need to be retained as replacements given the maternal genetics that are built into this bull. He’s the ideal type of bull for selling your steers right off the cow.

The Power Grid x High Roller cross has been a very good one. A top choice for breed leading growth and maternal traits.

We have many daughters retained in our herd and her 5 sons in our 2016 Sale averaged $11,300. 68U does great in IVF, averaging 16 transferable embryos per flush. If you’ve been looking for a proven red donor, 68U just may be your best bet of 2017. She is due to calve April 8th to WS Prime Time B6. The resulting bull calf will have the potential of paying for his dam, all in the first year!

Pasture bred to IR/CDI Collaboration (2934748). Due approx. 4-1-17 with a bull calf.

AI bred to WS Prime Time on 5-30-16. Safe to AI, due 3-9-17 with a heifer calf.

This high horsepower Apollo female combines breed leading growth with impressive carcass data ratios. The Apollo cattle have that little extra frame, style, and performance.

101C offers top 1 percent marbling and API in a Purebred package! A female that we wish we were keeping given her unique pedigree and off the charts carcass data. The Xclusive females will be just like the Xpectations, super udder structure and calf raising machines.

TAKING GENETICS AND SERVICE TO THE NEXT LEVEL...

Allied Genetic Resources is entering its seventh year of service to our member owners and their commercial customers. Genetic consulting, feeder cattle and replacement female marketing, professional genetic procurement, sales management and a growing semen business are just a few of the customer focused services offered daily by the growing Allied staff. Genetic improvement and value adding service are what separates great seedstock producers from the rest. As the US beef business becomes more competitive and information based, the strength and reputation of your genetic provider will provide the competitive edge you need to stay to the front of the profit race. Allied Genetics members now number more than 80 in total and in 2017 will market nearly 9000 profit bred bulls. Chosen for commitment to both their commercial customers and the beef business, these independent producers are absolutely industry leaders when it comes to providing value and focusing on the long term. Do the math, the genetics you purchase in 2017 will have substantial profit impacts on your herd well into the early 2030’s. Make sure your genetics provider has that kind of impact in mind when they are building seedstock for you. If they reject technology, talk more about philosophy than substance and or don’t stand behind their product the way you wish they would, talk to us or any Allied herd about better genetics purchasing for your future. To be confident in consistency and value just look for the Allied logo when you choose a genetics source. Allied by reputation focused on service.

NON-DILUTER RED, HOMO POLLED Ambition is one of the most exciting young red bulls to surface last year and was the 2016 high-seller, selling to Bichler Simmentals of Linton, ND. He has the most bone, frame, muscle, and overall power of the Xpectation sons that we have produced. He’s backed by the powerfull 33R donor that has a tremendous production record and total outcross pedigree. His pedigree is stacked for super sound, quality footed, perfect uddered females, and we expect him to produce the same. Watch for his upcoming progeny in 2017.

NON-DILUTER RED, HOMO POLLED Abundance was the second high seller in 2016, selling to Nine Mile Red Angus and 5L Red Angus and currently is Hometown’s most popular son. When evaluating EPD projections combined with individual data and phenotype, Abundance will be hard to top. His young dam has now produced two Hometown sons that easily propelled to the top of their respective years. We’ve used Abundance extensively both AI and ET program and highly anticipate his first calves in 2017.
