Welcome to the 2019 Divas and Donors Elite partnership collection! A set that we are extremely excited about and eagerly anticipate hitting the tan bark! We feel like the purebreds are extremely deep this year with a wide variety of powerful cow families backing them up and show ring quality second to none. As always, our percentage cattle represent the nation’s elite foundation show stock from some of the country’s most popular donor dams and cow families. We concentrated hard this spring and summer on assembling some powerhouse Angus and Maine cattle as well, and what we put together is definitely fitting of the term “Elite”. And again, they too are backed by timetested, high revenue generating, proven cow families. To say we are pumped about this set of cattle would definitely be an understatement. They are special!

In reflection this year, as much as I’d like to dwell on the terrible weather for the second year in a row, I’m not because of all the great positive things that came in 2019. Customer success was amazing again with continued success from both new and returning families. And I’d be lying if I didn’t say how much Kinnick’s first year in 4-H meant to our family this year. Truly a special journey we had with his Limmy heifer that I will never forget.

With all that being said, I now need to thank the special people that make this work on a daily basis. First has got to be Caden. His dedication and hard work is the backbone of our business, and his friendship cannot be replaced. Thank you buddy. To Brent and Dustin for coming to help dial in the divas. To all the guys that help at the shows, with pictures and getting the cattle ready to sell, and to our customers – you guys are irreplaceable! To my boys, my amazing wife and my parents for all of their love and continued support and making me smile. Thanks for keeping me sane! And for sure to my partners and friends, Jamie and Jackie Campbell – truly amazing people who have always helped support this dream and shared in the pursuit of a common goal. Thank you!

Welcome...

As I said, we are beyond excited for this set and can’t wait to see what 2020 brings!

Sincerely, Jeff Paulsen and the Divas and Donors Partnership

DAM | KLS Diamond W516

The legacy of KLS Diamond W516 is one for the Simmental history books with national champions, AI promotional sires, and progeny already raising sale topping prospects! And if this lady is indicative of what’s yet to come in the future, Diamond’s legacy just went from bright to blinding! 4 purple Denver banners are stacked in this diva’s pedigree, and I’m willing to bet this one will add some purple to the pile. 549G combines elegance and athleticism with sublime maternal attributes. She’s captivating on the side profile and so pleasing on the stroll. Females like this don’t come by chance or luck. She’s the result of stacking champions on champions and bred for consistency. You know what they say about sure things... death... taxes... and 549G!

DAM | M12X (Rendition)

Heart attack on a halter!! We have been lucky enough to either be a part of or sell some very special females over the past decade, and every one of those females have had one thing in common – their first impression. Females like this are like that high school girl you get a crush on the first day of junior high. You can’t look away. You can’t stop thinking about ther. And you definitely talk about her nonstop! She’s a full sister in blood to a past Kansas City Grand and an absolute freak of nature herself. You can’t build purebreds like this folks. That freak on a leash look with power, foot, and bone – and she can straight up move! She’s the one you’ll spot from 3 pens away. A stone cold stunner. You have to see this one in person to understand. Do yourself a favor and be in Dixon on Dec. 1st to witness a part of history.
