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 conditions 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.
What DDA Forage Developed coming
two year old bulls will offer:
♦ More fertile and will cover more cows.
♦ Will continue to gain weight through first breeding season.
♦ No bull’s feet or legs ruined due to hot feed.
♦ More years of service; fewer injuries and breeding problems.
♦ Bulls are more conditioned to the real world.
The emphases here on the ranch have been placed on efficiency, moderate frame
and high maternal mothers. We like a 4-frame cow that will weigh 1200 to 1300
pounds in good flesh. These are the cows that will last in the herd. This is not a new
direction or philosophy for Diamond D Angus. We have been on a consistent course
with very little variation for over forty-six years.

Mother to 27C and E5H
♦ We are happy to announce DDA Emblazon 27C has been put to the test
all across the U.S., Canada, Australia and South America. He may be the
thickest easiest fleshing bull we have ever seen, and he does it on 100%
forage. A large part of our market on semen is to cow/calf operations. The
times that registered breeders have chosen to use this great sire. The bulls
top their sales.
♦ The mother of 27C is now 17 years old and still in production. Both her and
27C landed spots in the Angus Legends books.
♦ This great sire should be in every registered herd in the country. I know he
will not be, because he was not bred for the EPD numbers game. DDA Emblazon 27C is a five frame bull weighing 2300 lbs. after the breeding season.
He is an udder-fixer due to Shoshone 130, Bear and Fahren of Wye on the
dam side and OCC Emblazon on the sire side. He traces to the same cow
family as DDA Fahren 21X. Phenotypically, this bull is very correct with great
feet and legs.

Daughter
 DDA Fahren 21X is a line bred Fahren of Wye. The Fahren
daughters we have are some of the best cows we have
ever owned. They are deep, thick and very functional with
almost perfect udder quality. We have Fahren daughters that
are very sound at 19 years of age. 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.

deep, long and thick. He has a great temperament and very
good feet and legs. He is a maternal brother to 27C. His sire is
Lodge of Wye. Lodge is one of twelve bulls in the entire breed
that has been proven genetic defect free. We have four full
sisters to E5H in production and they are phenotypically very
correct. The E5H daughters are beautiful young cows. They are
very feminine, fertile cows that will stay in production for a very
long time. Udder quality is nearly perfect. The E5H sons have
sold very well at our sale.

 When we saw this great pedigree, we thought what an
opportunity to continue lining up the same goodness that
Fahren came from. His dam is line bred good old Wye and
Rito 707. She is truly a great maternal cow. His sire, Lodge of
Wye, is one of the very few sires that has been proven genetic
defect free. Lodge also ranks #2 in the entire breed for $EN.

on his sons has been 75 pounds, all falling between 69 and 80
pounds. He is double bred Banjo of Wye. His mother is 15 years

 This is a bull that was sold in our 2008 sale to the
Ole Farms in Athabasca, Alberta Canada. I had
the opportunity to attend the Ole Farms sale in
February. The 50H bull is now 8 years old and looks
fantastic. His sons have topped their sale for two
15980176 years in a row. I feel strong enough
about this great
sire, that I bought a son at their sale. Look for his
progeny in the future. We will also be using the 50H
semen here at Diamond D Angus. Travis Olson
from the Ole Farms reports to me that the 50H
daughters are among some of their very favorite
females. This is really worth a lot, because they are
running over 1000 head. They are the largest seed
stock producer in Canada. This is what the Ole
Farms wrote in their sale catalog. 50H is one of the deepest bodied, smoothest moving bulls to
have ever walked at Ole Farms. Use of him will improve feet quality, add fleshing ability, and
reduce frame score and birth weight. 50H will leave you some of the most attractive and functional females in the industry.  Co-owned with the Ole Farms.

 This pedigree combines some of the very best Shoshone maternal genetics. The Great Grandmother is
also the mother to our Shoshone 130 bull. The Shoshone 130 is the maternal Grand sire to some of our great
sires we are using today, like DDA Emblazon 27C, DDA Lodge E5H. Due to the fact that I could not say it
any better, this is what John Dockweiler writes about this great sire. ”It takes time to concentrate genetically
superior cows into every slot of an animal’s recent recorded ancestry. Once that has been done, it provides
a certain stability and predictability.”  Co Owned

 This is a ¾ brother to the 50H. We used him natural service on 77 two year old
heifers after their first calf. After pregnancy checking in December we had 2 out of
the 77 open. This group of 77 heifers was not AI bred prior to turning the 202 bull. I
am very excited to get 75 calves out of this great young sire. Bulls with this kind of
fertility and drive will sire fertile feminine females. This bull is very correct with great
feet.  Co- owned with Hague Angus Ranch.

The Diamond D Angus Story
I am the third generation DeBoo raising functional Angus cows. It all started with
my grandfather and grandmother (Charlie and Mary) in the 1950’s. At that time,
Charles was the only registered Angus breeder in the Golden Triangle area of
Montana. In the early days, he owned a bull called Pattern of Wye. Pattern of Wye
was instrumental in shaping the future for DDA.
In 1972, my grandfather’s life was cut short after hip replacement surgery. He died
less than 24 hours later.
My dad and mom (Don and Janet) were married in 1957 and started raising cows
on shares with my grandparents, on a small ranch 10 miles southwest of Valier.
My Mom and Dad raised 7 kids on this small operation. Needless to say, everyone
needed to learn how to work and be very thrifty and efficient. That also included
the cows.
In 1962, my Mom and Dad bought their first registered Angus heifers. They
continued raising commercial cattle at that time. Due to the influence from
Pattern of Wye, my Dad learned that all cows were not created equally. In the
1960’s, most cattle were very short and blocky; they would have been a frame
score of 1 or maybe in the negative figures. The Wye cattle were the larger framed
cattle for the time period. The industry trend changed in the late 60’s and early
70’s to larger framed cattle and the Wye cattle became very popular. There were
a lot of very functional cattle at that time. The trend continued to go larger and
larger framed in the late 70’s and 80’s. My parents tried to follow the trend until the
early 1980’s.
I am very thankful that at that time my parents knew what a really good functional
Angus cow was like. It did not take them long to understand the direction the
industry was headed and this was not the path they wanted to be on. Due to the
influence of the Pattern of Wye bull in the early 70’s and the direction the whole
industry was headed, Diamond D Angus knew they didn’t want to follow this route.
They decided with the knowledge of the old Pattern Bull, they would once again
go to the Wye herd for their genetics. My parents spent many years selling bulls
private treaty to repeat commercial buyers.
After working 6 years as a mechanic for John Deere, I (Mark) moved back to the
ranch in 1988. We had our 1st production sale in the spring of 1989 in an old barn.
Looking at it today, I still wonder how we did it. At that time, we were selling about
50 bulls at the sale. Perhaps our competition was averaging more per bull than we
were, for it was the start of the big EPD race.
We continued to line breed for functional, maternal and efficient traits. This was
not a popular or easy path to be on at the time. I am 100% convinced it was the
proper path to take.
In 2006, we had our first fall production sale where we sold long yearling forage
developed bulls. I would challenge any registered breeder to forage test your bulls
if you really want to know what they are made of. This has proven to be a very
good change for DDA. In recent years, we are selling our genetics all over the US,
Canada and Argentina.
We now sell about 130 bulls every fall and about 100 bred females at our
production sale. This is our 10th annual Sire Directory where we offer our timetested line bred genetics.

As founder and President of Thousand Hills Cattle Company, I have examined over five
thousand 100% grass fed cattle over the past five years. The fat open 24 month old heifers
Mark ships me every spring are consistently the best cattle I kill each year; excellent
marbling and backfat, large ribeyes, calm dispositions, great tenderness and fine muscle
texture. My only complaint is that there aren’t enough of them and they make the rest of
the fat cattle look bad! In addition to the desirable carcass qualities, because of the tight breeding and ruthless
culling over the years, I like all the DDA cattle I’ve seen at their sales - they would all work
perfectly in my program. Please consider using DDA bulls, especially if you are in MN or
the Dakotas, because I want to purchase more DDA bred fats and yearlings. Todd Churchill ♦ Thousand Hills Cattle Company
