Wilson is a Homozygous Black/Homozygous Polled ET calf that is a full brother to JOB DANELL A.J. 12A, a last year’s bull we kept ½ possession to be a Herdsire here at Danell Diamond Six. Another bull with TOP Performance, Carcass Traits, Growth, & Calving Ease! Wilson’s dam was a Dam of Distinction with a beautiful udder and great disposition! A super thick, long bull with a great disposition! His picture does not capture his length, maybe because of his depth of rib! Another bull I feel would work in anyone’s herd, Commercial or Purebred! “Wow!” 75 pound Birth Weight, 820 pound 205 day Weight, a 1350 pound 365 day Weight, and a 4.40 IMF! What a Bull!

Our daughter, Teale, presents this Homozygous Black/Homozygous Polled Purebred Gelbvieh Bull that ranks up there as one of the best unproven young bulls in the breed! Phenotypically flawless, incredibly easygoing disposition with a great EPD package! My Fortune comes with an AI permit and will be collected before he leaves the ranch. He comes from a beautifully uddered 8 year old female that is a proven AI Sire/Herdsire producing dam!

This is the third bull she has produced – the other 2 are JOB DANELL TD Chico Loco 28Y (an AI Sire owned by BAR IV Livestock in Kentucky) and JOB DANELL TD My Man 3Z (a Herdsire owned by Auch Gelbvieh in North Dakota.) She was kept open to flush the year before. My Fortune has a 786 pound Weaning Weight (102 ratio), a 1261 pound Yearling Weight (100 ratio), and scanned our largest Ribeye at 15.20 (115 ratio)! He is a moderate framed bull (5¾ to 6 frame) and he comes with an AI permit, parent verification, and great potential with a rare 7 for Tenderness in a Purebred!

Shoud be an amazing heifer bull that will also work on producing great Weaning Weights from your cows’ calves! Comes from a dam that has a beautiful udder, great disposition, and is a “never-miss” mama cow! We have retained all of her natural and ET heifer calves (9 total!) Although our intention with this flush was to get more Angus females for producing great Balancer calves, the ET bulls will be an exciting addition to our bull battery! If you are looking for a superb heifer bull that will also work as a cow bull, Daigger is your Angus bull! He should give you great easy-fleshing heifer replacements with great udders! Daigger’s dam just had her 2015 natural calf, JOB DANELL Pride 2C – another 84 pound bull and a full sib to Daigger!

Man Up is Homozygous Black/Homozygous Polled! We have never kept a bull calf to put in our sale that weighed over 100 pounds at birth, but Man Up is the exception to that rule! The recipient cow that carried this ET calf to term was moved to the recipient program because of the heavy birth weights of her natural calves, with an average BW ratio of 108. His donor dam, JOB DANELL P.J. 15S, has had 6 natural calves ranging from 74 to 88 pounds (ratio 98), one of which is a full sib to Man Up and weighed 81 pounds! P.J. is one of our TOP Donors and has produced many of the Top females in our herd! This is why Man Up will have an AI permit and be collected before he leaves! Man Up is one of the longest, stoutest ¾ Gelbvieh bulls you will find!

This bull is also one of our Top bulls for IMF (marbling) scanning a 4.45 (136 ratio) with a .20 for Fat Thickness (ratio 79) and a 13.17 Ribeye! It’s hard to find a bull that scans so well for marbling and so little back fat! This 85 pound BW, heavy muscled bull will catch your eye in the pen!

She has a BW ratio of 98 on 5 calves, WW ratio of 105 on 5 calves, and YW ratio of 101 on 5 calves! She has put many other progeny in the bull sale or heifer replacement pen! We liked Rave so well as a calf that we bred mama back the same way! Rave scanned a 14.24 Ribeye (107 ratio) and a 3.39 IMF (102 ratio)! His Weaning Weight was 785 (102 ratio) and his Yearling Weight was 1307 (102 ratio). If you are looking for that Balancer bull that comes from a proven cow family, a proven sire, and has proven himself, Rave should be that Herdsire! Rave is long sided, smooth made, tight sheathed, clean fronted , with a smaller head. If I needed a Balancer Bull in my program this year, Rave would be the one!

In fact, her bull calf last year is a bull we kept half possession rights and is one of our herd sires. This bull is raised by a co-op breeder that runs a few registered Angus cows with us. If we were to throw birth weight and calving ease EPDS out the window and look at the make-up of this bull, he is a true heifer bull...soooth shouldered, narrow fronted and lond necked. His 84# BW, 753# 205 WW and 1251# YW make him one heck of a good cow bull or heifer bull. To add to this, he is our top ratioing marbling bull with a 4.496 IMF and 136 ratio.

Angus

Balancer®

Homozygous polled. DNA testing for homozygous black is pending but will be available by sale date. He is one good-looking bull!

31% Gelbvieh and 69% Angus. Just as his name relates, Hustl’n is a fantastic heifer bull that will service your heifers well and produce strong calves with calving ease and good maternal instincts. Great carcass EPDs with an adjusted IMF of 6.05 and a 14.15 rib eye should produce choice feeder stock.

Gelbvieh EPDs Defined Maternal traits Calving ease direct (CE): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.

Milk (Milk): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers.

Heifer pregnancy (HP): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant as first-calf heifers in a regular breeding season, expressed as a percent. A higher value of this EPD is favorable, meaning that a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters get pregnant as first calf heifers compared to other sires in his contemporary group.

30-month pregnancy (Pg30): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant and calve at three years of age, given that they calved as first-calf heifers. This EPD is expressed as a percent, again, with a higher number being more favorable meaning a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters will calve at three years of age, given they calved as first-calf heifers.

Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.

Growth traits Birth weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

Weaning weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age).

This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.

Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. *Mature weight EPD (MW): Predicts the average difference in pounds of mature weight of a sire’s progeny compared to their contemporaries.

Carcass traits Yield grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.

Carcass weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint.

Ribeye area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.

Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield drade.

Efficiency traits Dry matter intake (DMI): Represents the average daily dry matter intake per day consumed in pounds. A negative or lesser value is more favorable. For example, Bull A has a DMI EPD of .15 and Bull B has a DMI EPD of -.20, so the progeny of Bull B consume, on average, .35 pound less dry matter per day than progeny from Bull A. *Average daily gain (ADG): Difference in average daily gain in pounds based on an animal’s performance during a feed intake test period. *Residual feed intake (RFI): Defined as the difference between an animal’s actual daily feed intake and its predicted daily intake based on growth rate and body size. Animals with a positive RFI value are deemed more inefficient because they consume more than expected while animals with a negative RFI value are considered more efficient because they consume less than expected.

Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + 1⁄2 WW EPD. INDEXES $Cow: Represents the genetic value in dollars of profit of an animal when retained as a replacement female relative to other animals in the herd. A higher number represents more profitable genetics for maternal productivity. $Cow will serve producers in selecting bulls that will sire daughters with stayability and reproductive efficiency as well as other traits that lead to profitability in a production system, such as milk, calving ease, moderate mature weight and the ability of calves to gain. A female’s genetics also influence the performance of her calves in the feedlot and at slaughter, so traits such as feed efficiency and carcass value are also included in $Cow. Efficiency profit index (EPI): An economic selection index developed to aid producers in selecting for more feed efficient cattle that still have acceptable amounts of gain. The EPI provides slight negative pressure on intake, while keeping gain at a constant value. By selecting on this index, producers will be able to find those animals that gain the same amount as their contemporaries while eating less.

Feeder profit index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries.

As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.

This is our surprise baby. He has has a little tougher life as he was born to a fabulous producer who was unfortunately crippled. She still did a great job with him though and can go on the records as having two calves in 2013! We did the math on her and she was bred back at 3 weeks after calving. This is one cow that can really produce! A half brother sold in 2011 for $8000 to Sour Dough Gelbvieh of Geyser and another half brother sold in 2013 for $6500 to Thom Farms of Moore.

His dam is a consistent producer that comes from highly maternal cow family. This bull will produce those heifers that you will want to keep in your herd for years to come.

His young dam is a very pretty daughter of our herd bull who is really making her mark on the herd. A full brother to this bull was shown as a registered steer (due to injury) and when sent to the rail, he cut a spectacular 13.2” ribeye. Definate powerful genetics here!

Volume, capacity and growth are the three words that will pop into your minds when you see this bull. He has been that one that has caught our eye since birth. Out of a powerful Net Worth daughter, this bull has tremendous carcass traits stemming from both sides of his pedigree. The calves from this bull should tip the scales in the fall and the females from this Final Product/Net Worth combination should be definate keepers.

This is a long bodied, thick made bull by Sitz Dash. This bull is a definate calving ease candidate. Due to a mix up at calving, this bull was grafted out and raised in a commercial herd. His adoptive momma did a bang up job though! When we got him home, it was too late to put him in the feedlot so he has been fed out at the ranch all winter. Therefore he is ratioed by himself and he is not as heavy as the bulls on test. Do not hold it against him! He is a from a powerful cow who has had numerous high sellers in the past years.

Here is our true, sleep through the night, calving ease bull of the offering.

His sire, Final Answer, is the breed leader in calving ease and daughters of Final Answer are known for their extremely strong maternal traits. This bull is out of a two year old daughter of the high growth sire, Upward. The combination of the extreme calving ease and added growth should make this younger bull one to look at sale day.

A sure fire eye catcher with tremendous thicknes, volume and capacity.

This bull has been a standout since the day he was born. His dam is a really powerful Freedom daughter who throws pounds into her calves. A full brother topped the sale last year at $7500 to the Don Jenni Ranch of Lewistown.

A super nice made son of the up and coming Black Granite bull. This bull is long bodied, thick topped and stylish made. He has the volume and thickness to sire calves that will top the scales in the fall. The young Upward cow that this bull is out of is fast becoming a top producer in our herd. Half brothers to this bull are working at the Stilson Ranch and Gary Jenni Ranch.

ANGUS EPDS defined - (ONLY THOSE SHOWN IN CATALOG ARE IN THIS EXPLANATION)

Angus

GROWTH Birth Weight EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.

CARCASS Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

MATERNAL Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering

ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.

$VALUE INDEXES, are multi-trait selection indexes to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. $Values are reported in dollars per head, where a higher value is more favorable.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 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.

Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.

First breedinG season Guarantee If any bull, valued at $2000 or more, is disabled (confirmed by a veterinarian) during the first breeding season, it will be guaranteed according to the following schedule: Purchase price - $2000 to $2950 – covered at 50% less 1/2 salvage value Purchase price - $3000 to $3950 – covered at 60% less 1/2 salvage value Purchase price - $4000 or more – covered at 70% less 1/2 salvage value Ex. – loss of $2000 bull would give you $1000 credit, less 1/2 salvage loss of $5000 bull would give you $3500 credit, less 1/2 salvage Bulls kept isolated and used in single sire breeding pasture will be guaranteed at 80% of purchase price less salvage value.

Ex. – loss of $2000 bull, single sire pasture – $1600 credit, less salvage loss of $5000 bull, single sire pasture – $4000 credit, less salvage Breeding season is defined as a 60 day period following the first turnout of bulls. The guarantee will be offered as a credit by the breeder on one bull in a future Central Montana Genetics Bulls Sale or toward a replacement bull if that breeder has one available. (This will apply only to bulls offered by the same breeder that you purchased the original bull from.)

Should the bull you purchase cost more that your credit, you pay the difference. If the cost is less, no further credit is due.

Mortality insuranCe (

death loss is the buyer’s risk)

The breeder agrees to pay 1/2 the insurance premium at time of purchase. Insurance will be available on sale day at the rate of 6.5% of the purchase price for 1 year. (Your cost would be 3.25% of purchase price.)
