Here at the Diamond H, we take pride in our genetic selection. While the data is helpful and always improving, we look at the phenotype and various traits of the animal as well. If they are great on paper, but are structurally unsound…chances are their calves will be that way as well.

Maverick was the high selling bull in the 2015 C Diamond/Wilkinson Bull Sale. His unique pedigree provides a very proven maternal line in the Simmental breed and has just the right amount of performance to keep cattle efficient and relatively moderate. His disposition is five star and his offspring express this as well. His grand dam is arguably one of the best red Simmental cows in the country…look to his progeny to increase maternal genetics and maintain performance. Semen is available through Allied Genetic Resources.

Rambler is an F1 son that we raised in 2016. His sire (CDI Maverick 335B) does not need an introduction, but his dam (HRAA Romo 733) is our top donor cow. She raised this calf and to say the least, he was never offered for sale. He is as well balanced as his sire and he comes from a female who carries an MPPA of 116…his offspring are the kind to build a herd with! He keeps birth weight in check and the cattle express strong growth and maternal traits. We do not see many holes in this sire; his disposition and phenotype are top notch.

Amigo (pictured as a yearling) is a bull we raised in 2018 out of a promising young female, DHCC Maverick D610. This dam is passing on a lineage with very popular names here at the Diamond H. Peltons Miss Ashlyn combined with Maverick made D610 a standout from the get go and Amigo was the first calf she ever raised. If you look at his performance data you can see that she didn’t take a day off and raised the top calf out the 2018 calf crop.

Merlin has become one of the most popular sires in the Red Angus breed. He is truly a spread bull and has some outstanding carcass genetics. We have just recently tested some of his first daughters and we really like what we see. His sons always rise to the top of the bull pen year after year. Along with performance, he sires docile cattle that have great depth of body and eye appeal.

This is Frank (progeny to WFL Merlin 018A) as a two-year-old during breeding season. We purchased him in 2018 and he was the second high seller at the Leland Red Angus sale that year. We have used him in a number of scenarios from crossbreeding to heifers and he always did a great job.

Stakeholder was the second high selling bull in the 2016 Leland Red Angus Bull Sale (he sat second to his half brother that year). We have been very pleased with his first calf crop. This sire has a considerable amount of performance and maternal traits in his pedigree being that he excels well above average in over 50% of the EPD categories. His calves will bring a positive movement upward in growth, carcass and maternal traits. Overall, he is a very well balanced sire.

Atomic is a sire that we have used in both our AI and ET programs. After we saw the first calves, we were really glad we had extra embryos with him on the topside of the pedigree. The cattle calve very easy and grow. Although he is not a growth curve bender, you will see that his progeny display a lot of depth and red meat. Almost all of his calves are born in the 65-75lb range. Look for this sire to add depth of body and hip to your Red Angus cattle, along with strong maternal and carcass genetics.
