by Dr. Lee in Oct. 2018.
My father always said that we judge a bull by the daughters he leaves in our herd.
That usually takes 10 or more years to know for sure. If you would like to increase
your odds on purchasing a good bull, it is a necessity that you buy bulls that have
many good bulls and good dams in their ancestral pedigree, sires and dams that
have proven over time that they will produce functional, trouble free cattle. The
fuller the pedigree is with these type, the odds increase dramatically on getting the
results you need. This is nothing new, people have known this for generations. It is
only in modern history that it has become popular to breed on numbers. It is to no
surprise that those types of cattle have lost the functional traits needed in order to
keep them in production.

The Diamond D Advantage:
 More fertile and will cover more cows.
 Will continue to gain weight through first breeding season.
 No bulls’ feet or legs ruined due to hot feed.
 More years service from forage bulls.
 Less injuries and breeding problems.
 Bulls are more conditioned to the environment.
 Bulls have been put through a rigid test.
What will Diamond D Angus Genetics do for you?
Diamond D Angus would like to thank all of our past and future customers for believing in and
supporting our program. Some might say we are out of the main stream. We have chosen to
put a lot more emphases on functional and economic traits rather than EPD’s. During the 1980’s,
cattle were being bred to look like race horses – all legs and no guts. Many of the functional traits
were left behind in the race for big numbers. We did not follow this trend; instead, choosing
to breed for just classic Angus traits. While we have not bred cattle for carcass numbers, our
ultrasound numbers are very good. This is an indication that just good basic Angus have
always had good meat quality. Our commercial industry needs great cattle, not cattle with great
numbers. Breeding cattle with great numbers is easy. Breeding great cattle is a challenging task.
 Consistency—Diamond D Angus genetics will breed more true due to the many
years of intensive line breeding.
 Calving ease—We have always put emphases on good calving ease. We typically
will not use a bull on cows that we would not also use on first calf heifers.
 Carcass—Ultrasound has proven that DDA cattle excel in the grass fed beef industry,
and as always, are still suitable for the feed lot. Diamond D Angus cattle have proven to be
consistently superior in tenderness.
 Efficiency—For many years, the cows and calves have been weighed at weaning
and condition scores are given. Typically our cows are weaning calves weighing 50% of their
own weight or greater. We prefer a 4-frame cow weighing 1200 to 1300 pounds in good flesh.
 Longevity—Most traits can be compared to a chapter in a book, but longevity is the
entire book. Diamond D Angus has numerous cows that are still in the herd at the age of fifteen
and beyond.
 Experience—We have the benefit of sixty-seven years in the cattle business and
forty-eight years in the registered Angus business.

♦ I am very sad to report that we lost the 202 bull this summer due to an injury. He was an amazing athlete and a very
aggressive breeder. The 202 bull passed on to his offspring, eye appeal, depth of body, very easy fleshing on forage only,
calving ease, masculinity in his sons, and femininity in his daughters. His offspring have topped our sale every year that we
have offered them. The feet on the 202 bull were as good as we have ever seen. The average birthweight here at Diamond D
Angus on his 115 bull calves is 76 and the average on his 117 heifer calves is 72. The 202 bull was 6 years old. To say he was
a breeding machine would be an understatement. As a two-year-old he bred 75 out of 77 three-year-olds. At the age of 3 he
bred 77 out of 80 three-year-olds. On the first jump at the semen collection center, he produced just under 500 straws of very
concentrated semen. If you want fertile replacement females, you need to use very fertile bulls. Diamond D Angus has always
bred cattle with longevity and fertility.
♦ Josh Freiberger, owner of Hague Angus Ranch, bought our DDA Stella 443 cow for a foundation for his registered herd. She
is the mother of the 202 bull. She is a beautiful cow at the age of 14.

♦ Our DDA B&T 18K has proven to be a very valuable herd sire for us. His sons look like herd bulls and his daughters are
very feminine mother cows with good udder structure. His offspring are very soft on temperament and phenotypically, are very
correct. He is long bodied with great depth and thickness.
♦ The average birth weight on his 77 sons has been 78 pounds, all falling between 69 and 85 pounds. He has sired 91 heifer
calves here at Diamond D Angus with an average birthweight of 75 pounds. He is double bred Banjo of Wye. The end of a
very successful road for our great 031 cow has come. She was the mother to 18K and one of our favorite cows in the herd. In
2016 during a bad snow storm, we found her not able to stand. She was just shy of her 17th birthday.
♦ Diamond D Angus will be using this great sire very heavily in the upcoming years.

♦ Bar Lad 4218 traces back many times to the great Southolm Bar Lad 50D. He is a great example of why we have chosen
not to select on EPD numbers. If you breed for EPD numbers, I am sure you would not even stop to take a second look at
this bull. Some of the best maternal bulls we have used in the past have EPD numbers in the toilet. If you look over history of
what has and is still happening in the Angus breed, the cattle that have been bred for EPD numbers do not have the capability
of staying in production for long enough to be profitable in a cow/calf operation. It is my job, as a seed stock producer, to use
genetics that help keep cow/calf producers in business. We believe if you do not have decent longevity, it is impossible to stay
profitable in an average price range like we are in now.
♦ Fairview Bar Lad 4218 has some of the great foundation genetics that my grandfather and father started with. We are still
lining up some of the great old cow families that trace to these same reliable genetics today. In fact our old 368 cow lineage
has some of the very same time tested names in her pedigree. We have a daughter of the 368 still in production at 18 years
old and our vet called breed again this winter. I told him how old she was and he could hardly believe it. We also had another
daughter to the 368, 580, stay in production until she was 20. The 368 stayed in production until she was 22.

♦ My Father always said that we judge a bull by the daughters he leaves in our herd. That usually takes about 10 or more
years to know for sure. I see the 0668 bull was born in 06. I can now see that the 0668 bull was one of the good ones. If you

♦ The temperament of his offspring is second to none. If you are looking for a sire to use on your first calf heifers and would
like to sleep at night, this is your bull. We have sold thousands of straws on this great bull for use on heifers. We have never
had a complaint. Calving ease supreme Guaranteed. You will also want to use him on your cows and save every daughter he
produces. His semen is in high demand and has been used all across the U.S. and Canada with outstanding satisfaction.

♦ Sons selling: 94U, 121U, 129U, 156U.
♦ One of the significant breeding strategies of the late Larry Leonhardt was to use linebreeding and inbreeding to create
genetics that enhanced the odds of making his preferred maternal kind. Bulls like John Dockweiler’s Fremont were bred with
the Shoshone tradition of concentrating the influence of the good cows in mind. Fremont’s female lineage includes Shoshone
Ester 3116 six times, Shoshone Ester 3128 twice, Shoshone Prudence 6157 three times, Shoshone Prudence 6144 once,
Blackcap Forever 485 three times as well as Shoshone Frances 6357, the dam of Diamond D herd sire Shoshone 130-6357.
♦ Larry selected his herd sires imagining their female ancestry as a pen of females. John Dockweiler commented, ”It takes
time to concentrate genetically superior cows into every slot of an animal’s recent recorded ancestry.” Fremont’s first
daughters are exemplifying the qualities that Larry Leonhardt and all who appreciate maternal genetics are breeding for.
Expect soft temperaments, great maternal instinct, moderate size, exceptional udders and the trouble free characteristics
of Shoshone genetics. Here is an opportunity for any producer looking for a reliable maternal sire who will produce a high
percentage of front pasture quality cows.
