3 FRIENDS AND FELLOW CATTLEMEN Welcome to the Diamond H Ranch Annual Production Sale! First and foremost, we cannot express our gratitude enough to our past customers who have supported our program over the years and allowed us to do something that we truly love and enjoy! The relationships we have made (and continue to make) will always be priority number one for us. When our customers are successful, it only makes this job that much more rewarding! Since the last sale, something very exciting has happened at the Diamond H other than a major deduction in the drought conditions. WE HAD A BOY!! Stockton Gerard blessed us with his presence on May 25th and our lives have been forever changed for the fourth time! Having a boy has been quite an adventure so far and we enjoy being a family of six. Aly, Graycee and Brynn still run the operation on a day-to-day basis, always keeping an eye out for when mama and daddy forget something. Overall, the last 12 months has been very good to us and abundant moisture has helped us replenish our water sources, fields and pastures. The cowherd has enjoyed the rains as well (hitting 97% conception) and as you will see in the upcoming pages, better than average growth on and off the cow. As always, we are constantly measuring and collecting as much data as possible to evaluate our herd and move in positive directions. There are some new sire groups that will likely get your attention and some older sire groups that we have continued to use. Maverick, Stakeholder and Rebel have continued to produce well-balanced cattle. Even though their time is coming to an end here at the ranch, their mark will be seen in many years to come as we have retained a good number of females from these sires (many of their daughters have raised the best lots in this offering). In addition to these sires, we have several new sire groups that show some very positive movement going forward. When analyzing these sire groups, please reference the comments under the sire listed to see a more in depth description. We still hold the Red Angus and Red SimAngus females in high regard and many quality replacement females are in this offering. The previous sales have been very positive as the purchaser s are enjoying the natural maternal abilities of these females. Our replacement heifers hit 100% conception last summer, and of that 82% conceived AI. The optimum environment helped this happen and with the abundant moisture in place throughout the region, here is a set of registered and commercial females that could be a nice start for someone looking to expand, replenish or start a cowherd. Again, we would like to thank all of you for taking an interest in our program. If at any time you have questions or would like to take a look at our cattle, please feel free to call. One of the most rewarding things about this business are the phone calls and visits from past customers. On sale day it s all about the cattle, but in life it s those relationships made with like-minded people that you cannot replace. We would also like to thank our family who is always there to help and support us and to those who have guided and helped us over the years we send out the most heartfelt appreciation to you all as we would not be where we are today without you! God Bless, Justin and Jade

9 $ INDEXES WHAT ARE API AND TI? $ Indexes Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That s where $ Indexes come in. Through well conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ Indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ Indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Using API and TI First, determine which index to use; if you re keeping replacements, use API...if not, then use TI. Just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls (as described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed). The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ Indexes visit UNDERSTANDING EPDs Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) The difference in expected performance of future progeny of an individual, compared with expected performance of future prog- eny of an individual of average genetic merit in the base time frame for the genetic evaluation. EPDs are estimated from phenotypic merit of an individual and all of its relatives and are estimates of one-half the breeding values. EPDs are generally reported in units of measurement for the trait. Average Daily Gain (ADG) Measurement of daily body weight change over a specified period of time of an animal on a feed test. Back Fat Thickness (BF) Estimates the average differences that are expected in fat thickness at the 12th and 13th rib between progeny of different animals. Birth Weight (BW) The weight of a calf taken within 24 hours after birth (reported in pounds). The EPD value predicts the difference in average birth weight of a bull s progeny compared to progeny of all other bulls evaluated. A positive value indicates heavier-than-average birth weights while a negative value indicates lighter-than-average birth weights. Calving Ease (CE) The ease with which a bull s calves are born to first calf heifers. When comparing calving ease EPDs of two sires, the larger EPD indicates a higher percent of unassisted births for calves sired by this bull. Carcass Weight (CW) The EPD predicts the difference in average carcass weight of a bull s progeny compared to progeny of all other bulls evaluated. A positive number indicates heavier-than-aveage carcass weights while a negative value indicates lower-than-average carcass weights. Frame Score (FRAME) A score based on subjective evaluation of height or actual measurement of hip height. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE) Percent of unassisted births in first calving daughters. Marbling Score (MARB) A subjective evaluation of the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat. The EPD value predicts the difference in average marbling score of a bull s progeny compared to progeny of all other evaluated bulls. A positive value indicates higher-than-average marbling scores while a negative value indicates lower-than-average marbling scores. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW) The weaning weight of a bull s daughters calves. The EPD value predicts the difference in average 205-day weight of a bull s daughters calves compared to daughters of all other bulls evaluated. A positive value indicates heavier-than-average weaning weights while a negative value indicates lighter-than-average weaning weights. Milk (MILK) The milking ability of a bull s daughter. The EPD value predicts the difference (due to milking ability) in average 205-day weight of a bull s daughters calves compared to calves of all other bulls evaluated. Positive values indicate above average milking ability of daughters while negative values indicate below average milking ability. Most Probable Producing Ability (MPPA) An estimate of a cow s future productivity for a trait (such as progeny weaning weight ratio) based on her past productivity. For example, a cow s MPPA for weaning ratio is calculated from the cow s average progeny weaning ratio, the number of her progeny with weaning record, and the repeatability of weaning weight. Ribeye Area (REA) The average difference in ribeye area in an animal s progeny when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Scrotal Circumference (SCROTAL) A measure of testes size obtained by measuring the distance around the testicles in the scrotum with a circular tape. Stayability (STAY) The expected difference, in percentage probability, that a bull s daughters will remain in the herd until at least six years of age. Weaning Weight (WW) Calf weight taken between 160 and 250 days of age and adjusted to 205 days of age and a mature dam equivalent (reported in pounds). The EPD value predicts the difference in average 205-day weight of a bull s progeny compared to progeny of all other bulls evaluated. A positive value indicates heavier-than-average weaning weights while a negative value indicates lighter-than-average weaning weights. Yield Grade (YG) Predicts differences in USDA Yield Grade score. This EPD is calculated using the genetic predictions of CW, REA, and BF EPDs. Yearling Weight (YW) Weight taken between 330 and 440 days of age and adjusted to 365 days of age and a mature dam equivalent (reported in pounds). The EPD value predicts the difference in average 365-day weight of a bull s progeny compared to progeny of all other bull s evaluated. A positive value indicates heavier-than-average yearling weights while a negative value indicates lighter-than-average yearling weights.

From the beginning, we knew that Red Angus would be the foundation of our herd, but we also knew that breed complementarity was something we could not ignore.

Inside our own ranch, the crossbred female continually proves herself and we have the data to back it up. Increased fertility, efficiency and longevity are just a few of the things we love about these cattle and we will continue to combine the best genetics out there to create them Diamond H Ranch Production Sale March 27, :30pm

42 MULTI-BREED GENETIC EVALUATION Powered By BOLT International Genetic Solutions (IGS) is an unprecedented collaboration between progressive breed associations fervently committed to enhancing commercial profitability. The collaboration has yielded the world s largest genetic evaluation of beef cattle with over 17 million animals and 120,000+ genotypes. In keeping with our commitment to the cattle industry, IGS is pleased to announce the IGS Multi-breed Genetic Evaluation powered by BOLT. The new genetic evaluation provides more predictive EPDs, better use of genomics, more accurate accuracy reported with EPDs, all with weekly evaluations. The announcement ushers in a new era in genetic evaluation an era made possible by a genetic evaluation system dubbed BOLT (Biometric Open Language Tools, owned by Theta Solutions, LLC). The concept for BOLT started in 2014 as a research endeavor between the American Simmental Association and Drs. Bruce Golden and Dorian Garrick. BOLT is, quite simply, the most revolutionary and powerful genetic evaluation system in existence. Its power allows IGS to leverage genetic evaluation methodology that was once thought to be untenable on large databases methodology that significantly improves genetic prediction. In December 2016, IGS published a multi-breed stayability, the industry s first EPD using BOLT and the first single-step methodology applied to a large beef cattle database. Since that time, the IGS genetic evaluation team has worked toward fully implementing BOLT with an automated system that enables weekly evaluations for an entire suite of EPDs. As of May 5th, 2018, ASA is the first of the IGS partners to publish a full suite of EPDs generated by the IGS Multi-breed Genetic Evaluation powered by BOLT. Here are the notable changes in the evaluation: Movement of EPDs and reranking. EPDs and indexes will change. These changes will be more dramatic for younger, lower accuracy cattle. The IGS team has tested the changes and proven the new EPDs result in superior predictions of genetic merit. Shrinking of EPD range. You will notice a reduction in the range of EPDs for most traits. The IGS evaluation team tested the statistical veracity of the reduction and it has proven to be in line with expectations based on the genetic variation in the population. Improved use of genomics. With the switch to the BOLT software, IGS will use single-step genomic evaluation on all EPDs. Single-step uses DNA markers, pedigree information and phenotypic data simultaneously in the prediction of EPDs. Previously, molecular breeding values (MBVs) were calculated from the genomic information and those MBVs were blended in a separate procedure into the EPD predictions. The single-step method squeezes more information from the DNA markers than the previous approach allowed. Additionally, with single-step, the genomic information will not only enhance each EPD for the genotyped animals but also will be used in the EPD estimates of relatives. It is well established that DNA markers vary greatly in their effect on traits ranging from large to virtually no impact. To leverage this biological fact in a statistically advantageous manner, the BOLT single-step method only uses markers that have a meaningful impact on the traits of interest, while ignoring those that have little to no effect. Research has shown that by using this approach, BOLT reduces statistical noise and thereby increases the accuracy of the EPD prediction compared to other single-step methods. It is important to note, continued collection of phenotypic records remains a vital part of genetic predictions. DNA testing will never replace the need to record and submit phenotypes. More accurate accuracy. In the previous IGS evaluation platform and all others in existence other than BOLT, the calculation of the accuracy associated with each EPD is achieved through approximation methods. It has long been known these methods are a less than optimal approach to the calculation of accuracy tending to overestimate accuracy. By employing unique computing strategies that leverage both software and hardware efficiencies, BOLT performs what was previously unthinkable utilizing a sampling methodology to calculate what is essentially true accuracy. Unlike approximated accuracies, BOLT-derived accuracies will result in predicted movements associated with possible change holding true over time. This is not the case with the previous IGS software or any other system currently in existence. While the IGS evaluation team and partners are excited to release this new chapter in genetic evaluation, the new genetic evaluation system will only realize its true potential if the selection is made using its EPD and index values. Hands down, there is no better (more accurate) way to select for quantitative traits than an EPD. Economic indexes predict net profit by weighing the EPD for economically relevant traits coupled with economic estimates. To compete with other protein sources, it is imperative that the beef industry adopts the best science and technology to make better breeding selection decisions Diamond H Ranch Production Sale March 27, :30pm

C&W Ranch is a Commercial Red Angus and Red SimAngus operation located in Smolan, KS. These heifers represent the top 60% of their 2018 calf crop. Many of these heifers carry Simmental in their pedigrees, but nothing past 1/2 AR x 1/2 SM. The use of cross bred females in the commercial cow/calf operation can be a very profitable scenario as we see continued longevity and reproductive efficiencies from these cattle. They do not miss on the performance side of things either. These heifers have been grouped by weight and frame scores, which were taken on 1/30/2019. They will be sold as groups of five. If buyers take all five, they can purchase the next group of five for the same price. Buyer will not be allowed to sort through the group; they must take all five.

Exchange of animal(s) must be made within two weeks of the day of the sale. Insurance of purchase(s) is not provided, but is recommended as transportation is at the risk of the buyer. Options and Privileges of Return or Adjustments All claims for adjustment or refund must be made in writing within six months of the sale date or no later than six months after the animal reaches 12 months of age. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the animal may be returned to the seller if in good condition and complying with the health requirements of the seller s stats. The seller shall be entitled to six months of trial after the animal is returned to prove that the animal is a breeder. If at the end of six months the seller is unable to prove that the animal is a breeder, the seller shall, at the option of the buyer, replace the animal with another of equal value or refund the purchase price. The return of the full purchase price shall in any case be deemed full satisfaction and settlement. Any expenses incurred shall be the seller s responsibility if the animal is found to be a non-breeder. Trucking Transportation will be free within 100 miles of the ranch. Any distance over 100 miles shall be the responsibility of the buyer. Identification Seller offers each animal with a readable tattoo corresponding to its registration. Health Health assesments have taken place prior to the sale and the necessary health information will be provided based on the buyer s needs and location. Breeding Soundness All buyers will receive a Breeding Soundness Evaluation for each bull purchased. Certificate of Registry All cattle have registration papers (unless otherwise stated) and these will be sent to the Association offices for transfer of ownership to take place. Seller s Semen Rights Diamond H Ranch reserves the right to retain 50% semen interest in bulls specifically identified as such in this catalog. This allows Diamond H Ranch to collect, use, and market semen from the bull and does not restrict the purchaser from doing the same. Any collection will be done at Diamond H Ranch s expense and at the purchaser s convenience. Rights and Obligations The above terms and conditions of sale shall constitute a contract between the buyer and seller of each animal and shall be equally binding on both. Animals resold following purchase in this sale shall constitute a separate transaction and the rights and obligations of the parties connected there are not covered by the above terms and conditions of this sale. Neither the owners, auctioneers, nor any other person connected with the management or conduct of this sale assumes any liability, legal or otherwise, except as set forth.
