◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ BEGGER’S DIAMOND V RANCH

Welcome, This has been quite a year. We have witnessed some of the best cattle and grain prices that we have seen in sometime. If we could only lock these markets in, we would definitely see some good times ahead. We all know that with Ag we never know when the rises and falls may occur, but we all know that all the reports say that this is the lowest the cattle inventory has been for quite some time. The world is growing in population and all these people will need to be fed. I feel that the ranchers and farmers could be in for a very good and profitable future. We have been in the seed stock producing business since 1975, that is over 3 1/2 decades. We have seen many changes in those years, some were exciting and some not so, but all have reflected on our profits and losses. At Begger’s Diamond V Ranch we also know something’s do not change, sound functional efficient cattle that are adaptable to our climates and environments that meet our customer’s needs, are what will keep you and ourselves solvent and successful in the tough times. We feel that it is our duty as seed stock suppliers to supply our customers with herd changing genetics that are able to move your programs in a profitable direction. There are many suppliers and breeders of cattle for your consideration. We feel that there are breeders that stay abreast and stay informed in what is happening in the industry, whether it be scientific, genetic, or just plain old common sense of how to get the most out of their cattle. For the past year, the genetic defects that come to the attention of the industry have been very concerning and discouraging. I want to touch base on this a little. The Angus breed has 3 genetic defects that could cost you a lot of money, time, and heartache. Your seed stock suppliers need to be addressing the curly calf, hydro, or fawn calf defects. There are producers that are ignoring these defects and are not testing cattle that could be carriers. They know it could cost them a lot of money, time and cut into some of their profits and cow herd. We have taken a hard stand on this issue, and have spent thousands of dollars testing cattle that could be carriers. We have been fortunate and most of our cattle passed the test. We did have one bull come back a carrier for fawn calf, so we have tested his progeny and have had to eliminate a few cows from our herd. The cattle we are offering are to the best of our knowledge, clean from all 3 genetic defects. Whether you buy from us, or from whomever, do yourself a favor and ask them if they have researched or addresses these problems, if they haven’t, buyer beware, their genetics could cost you. You may want to consider another source to acquire yoiur seedstock. As for our program, we run a fall and spring calving program. We do not transfer our opens back and forth between them. If a cow tests open, she goes to town, no excuses. We are one of only a few that choose to run a fall herd in the northwest. We often get asked how cattle take the winter or isn’t it more expensive to winter these cattle? They take the winter fine, the only thing is we do need to creep feed the calves, because they don’t have grass to eat and will not do as well by competing with the cows at the

feed line. We wean early March and at that time we rough the cows on minimal feed stuff. We feel by doing this it evens out cow costs. Most ranches that fall calve, wean and at that time confine the bull calves in a feed yard all summer, and keep them there until they sell them. This makes the cattle look good, but I do not believe it is in the best interest of the bull. We turn our bulls out to develop on grass from May 15 to Nov 1, with no supplemental feed , except a lick tub for their mineral source. At that time we will bring them in and developed them on a high roughage diet. These bulls will be nicely conditioned, but will not be overly fat. They will be athletic, sound, and should be ready to be used in heavy service. I feel that they should provide years of service. Our spring program is also unique in the fact that we do not creep feed the bulls, they are developed on grass and mother’s milk. Oh we could make them weigh another 50 to 100 lbs by creep feeding, but I don’t think it makes better cattle, it just makes them look better on paper. I feel that way to many outfits think it is a race to see how big and fat you can make a calf. We would much rather try to provide cattle that are conditioned to show their potential, but not pushed to the limit, I feel that they will stay sound longer. We want to extend this as our invitation to come attend our sale. Come look our program over, have dinner with us with no obligation to buy. If you do decide to purchase seed stock from us, you can be confident that these cattle are backed with a satisfaction guarantee. We will make things right if you have problems that need to be addressed. We do appreciate our present and past customers. I wish time allowed for me to visit each and everyone’s ranch, but unfortunately I just can’t get away as much as I would like. If you purchase a bull, we offer a discount if you haul them home sale day. For bulls selling over $2,000.00, we offer free keep until April 1st. At that time we will fertility test them and deliver them free of charge up to the first 500 miles. For cattle selling over 500 miles away, we will make arrangements to get them delivered to central points as reasonable as possible. In most cases we will have more animals headed your way, so the cost will be minimal. Again I want to thank you, our past customers, and welcome any new customers to our sale, it means a lot knowing that you trust us with your seed stock needs. Don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions.

Thanks so much,

Begger’s Diamond V Ranch Bill and Darlene Bob and Virginia Harry and Elaine

What a way to start out this sale, it is hard to pick this big stout bull apart. He is chucked full of meat and muscle. This bull is very deep bodied with lots of spring of rib. There is no doubt he offers a lot of potential as a breeder’s bull. His EPD profile is excellent and his own performance is among the best. His actual weaning wt of 810 lbs without creep is exceptional. We call him Bob because of his short tail, he was born with a long tail, but somehow he lost some of it. Bob was born a twin. This bull should be on every serious breeder’s list to check out. He certainly deserves your consideration. He is a true beef bull in every way. His DNA profile is very promising. Docility and feed effieciency is very good. His marbling, percent choice and ribeye is very high.

In our 35 years of producing breeding stock, we have never produced a calf that adjusted out at 897 lbs at 205 days of age. No, he was not creep fed, he did it on grass and mother‘s milk. He is one of the youngest and still he makes it to the lead off bull pens. This guy is no fluke, his dam consistently produces at the top. I know that if all cattle had this bulls performance, it would be easy to sell cattle that net top dollar. This bull is elite in his performance and certainly could be the one to sire the extra punch we desire in our calf crop.

The scrotal measurements were adjusted to yearling, and sometimes will vary one way or another as actual yearlings. We guarantee our bulls 100% for fertility, unless damage is induced at your ranch, and then it’s out of our control. Recommendations for Scrotal Circumference: Months of Age Scrotal cm 35 30-35 30

Suggested Guidelines for using Yearling Bulls: We are firm believers in the use of yearling bulls and feel it is one of the best years of their lives. It is a time when they are easy to manage and their only concern is breeding cows. We have found that yearling bulls that are managed carefully during the second year of their lives, not only do well, but they will perform better, over time. Below are some suggested guidelines for the care of yearling bulls. Upon delivery to your ranch, keep yearling bulls separate from older bulls and feed them a maintenance ration of 5-8 pounds per head of grain and free choice hay. Reduce the amount of grain fed gradually, so that bulls are on straight hay or grass 2-4 weeks prior to the breeding season. Where possible, try to limit the bulls to 45-60 days of pasture service the first year. At this time or as soon as possible, remove the bulls and put them in separate pastures with plenty of good quality grass. It is best to feed yearling bulls separate from older bulls until after their second breeding season. This allows them to achieve the growth and strength to compete with older bulls for feed and space. You will see the benefit of a little added cost and care of feeding a yearling bull by probably two or three more years of service from a well managed and healthy bull.

This bull has been coming on from day one, he is a true performance bull that just keeps performing day in and day out. He comes by it honestly as his dam seems to always put a good one in the weaning pen. It doesn’t stop there, his older sister sold a bred heifer a year ago in the North Dakota State Sale. She sold to Gary Sys, he said her calf was one of his best. This bull needs to be on your list of bulls to check out. He is one you will want to put in your pasture.

This bull is a twin. There is probably a lot more horse power in this bull than meets the eye. He is out of a cow that has topped our bull sale in her first 2 calves. This bull is her third, along with his twin heifer. This bull could be a sleeper, don’t overlook him. He is very easy to be around. The Sweet Meat calves are some of our heaviest calves, so if you demand high growth cattle, here is one to check out.

This is a bull that performed right at the top at 205 days. This bull will put some style and stoutness in his calves. This guy should work very well on a set of Angus or baldy cows. He is out of a nice cow that weighs about 1200 pounds.

Here is a bull that should put a little extra punch in his calves. He was born a twin so this held him back some, but he is doing very well on test. His older brother was one of the very high sellers last year. I think he will add some frame to smaller cows but not a lot to big framed cows. He will work on British bred cows very well.

I am confident that if he was older, he would have been in the leadoff pen. I highly recommend this bull. If you are looking for a red herd sire, it will be worth your time to check him out.

Fall Calving 18 Month Old Bulls This set of fall born bull calves have been an excellent group of bulls to work with. They were all born unassisted on the range.As the grass got covered with snow they got fed supplemental creep fed. We weaned them in March and did a short bull test on them. By May 15 they went to grass and were raised strictly on grass with a Crystalix tub for a mineral supplement. We brought them back around November 1 and fed them a high roughage diet to get them ready for the sale.These bulls are nicely grown out but not fat, they are ready to service cows and should be ready for heavy service. If you have a need for older bulls, these may be the ones for you. This is the nicest dispositioned group of fall bulls we have ever produced. They are very easy to be around.

This bull is all bull, I don’t think you can make them any thicker. Look, a 850 lb 205 wt., he is one of the younger Fall born bulls, but he don’t look it. Use this bull on Angus or baldy cows and watch your calf wts soar. His grand dam raised Lot 101, you can see he is out of a top producing cow family. Another bonus is this cow family has a great udder design.

This bull is one deep sided wide based bull. He probably has a little more bone then average, so he will add some stoutness to his calves. Put him on a stout set of cows and expect the best, he will sire performance. Udder quality will be the best.

Just look at this guy, he is loaded from end to end. He is out of one of the oldest cows on the ranch and she still produced the heaviest calf. He has a nice light birth weight because his dam is known to produce less birth weight.

We thought that this would be a great way to lead off this powerful pen of 18 month old bulls. He is an excellent performing bull that posts an 805 pound 205 weight. He is loaded with a powerful genetic lineup. His young 2 year old dam looks like she will be a solid contributor to our program.

This is a big strapping bull with plenty of length. Light at birth and heavy at weaning. His 2 year old dam takes no backseat to any. These Invasion cattle calve easy, grow well, and have a very good set of EPD’s.

This bull’s 2 year old dam is a very fancy cow; she is long bodied and clean in her design with a great udder. Only 78 pounds at birth and weaning 744, not bad for a cow’s maiden voyage. This bull will work great on a young set of cows that need a calving ease bull.

ANGUS GENETICS

This set of Angus bulls are certainly Cutting Edge genetics. Most of them are AI sired out of the breeds most highly respected sires. Bulls like upward, Thunder, 6I6, Matrix, and 4 Seasons lead off a proven well respected lineup. There may not be a big number of these bulls, but they are very stout and the quality runs deep. Most are several generations AI sired. Most of these bulls will work on heifers. Look at the outstanding 205 weights, and remember the spring born bulls did it on mother’s milk and grass, no creep.

His cow family is second to none. His 2 year old dam is the result of embryo transplant. His granddam is the only Angus cow we have ever flushed.

This is a very nice bull, he is out of a 10 yr old cow that always puts a good one in the weaning pen. This bull is a calving ease calf that you could use on heifers, yet he has the power to sire calves that weigh heavy at weaning. His daughters will be heavy milking sensible sized cows

Here is one of the youngest Angus bulls in the offering, only an April baby. This bull is out of a big volume cow with extra capacity and style. I expect this bull to sire these fancy easy fleshing cattle

W e’d like to welcome John Lynn to our operation! John is a great young man that works with us, he is a great hand both on machinery and working cattle. He is a fast learner whom I feel will know these cattle after he helps calve the cows. By next year I’ll bet he will be ready to consult and answer questions. Take the time to meet him.

Without a doubt, sleep at night heifer bull deluxe. This bull is just that, a heifer bull that should make calving heifers as easy as it gets. He is out of a Thunder son and a good young cow
