Page 3 - Gustin's Diamond D Gelbvieh Annual Production Sale – Feb. 15, 2025

WELCOME

Welcome cattlemen and cattlewomen,
We would like to welcome everyone to our Annual Production sale and say thank you to our customers for the past years of support.
We also look forward to building relationships with those of you who may be new to our program and helping you with your genetic
needs.
For added buyer confidence in our program every animal in the catalog has been sire verified and DNA tested to provide genomically
enhanced EPDs. Similar to most producers in our area, weaning weights were 40 to 50 pounds lower in comparison to recent years
due to a variety of environmental factors. We continue to focus on cattle with great dispositions, strong maternal traits, and high
performance. We also continue to focus on calving ease and carcass traits to provide our customers with the best-balanced trait
selection we can provide.
They are fed a total mixed ration designed to provide gains from 3-3.5 pounds per day. Our goal is to provide bulls that can maintain
their soundness and longevity. Again, the bulls are being developed on a 15-acre pasture to keep them sound and athletic.
We feel that by not creep feeding, we have identified the bloodlines in our herd that produce big calves without supplemental feed.
Whether our customers are buying bulls or females, these maternal traits will add payweight and profitability to their calf crops in
the long run. In 2023 our herd was recognized as #3 in the nation for Dams of Dominance Bred. These are females that breed early,
maintain their calving interval, produce above average calves and stay in the herd-cows that are profitable.
Once again, this year the sale format will be a video sale, with animals penned outside and being sold on a video screen without
them entering the barn. If you would like to come prior to sale day to evaluate the animals and visit about your program, feel free to
contact us so we can be available. As always, DV Auction will be broadcasting the sale and phone bidding is available.
We appreciate the chance to show you the offering, visit about your program and look forward to serving your cattle needs.
