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
Mark & Cathy DeBoo breeding.
4092 Valier-Dupuyer Road  Calving ease—We have always put emphases
1-406-279-3633 on good calving ease. We typically will not use a bull on
cows that we would not also use on first calf heifers.
1-406-799-3480 cell
[email protected]  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-
five years in the cattle business and forty-six years in the
Pat Mullen
registered Angus business.

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.

This bull should be used in every herd across the country. He would correct many of the problems that the Angus breed is faced with. Due to the fact that most
are still chasing numbers, this good bull will be overlooked. Phenotypically, he is very correct. He is long bodied with great depth and thickness. Very good
temperament. He is double bred Banjo of Wye. His mother is 15 years old and still in production. Diamond D Angus will be using this young bull very heavily in
the upcoming years. His 50 bull calfs at DDA had an average birth weight of 77 pounds each and his 68 heifers averaged 75 pounds each.

When we saw this great pedigree, we thought what an opportunity to continue lining up the same goodness 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 proven genetic defect free. Lodge also ranks #2 in
the entire breed for $EN. His daughters in production look great. Co-owned with Hyland Angus. As a yearling, we used him as clean up at DDA. Across the
board his ultrasound numbers looked great, including tenderness at a 26 and all other categories in the blue. The average birthweight on his 108 bull calves at

The 30K is that homely bull that produces beautiful daughters. He has cauliflower ears from fighting. His daughters have great udder quality and have good
temperament. They are very feminine, fertile cows that will last for many years. My goal in using the old Emulation 5522 son was to introduce good proven
maternal genetics that was an out cross to everything in the herd. The only down side would be possible loss on temperament. I have not seen that happen in
the 30K sons and daughters. There is excellent calving ease in the 30K. The 30K sons that we are offering this year may be our favorite sire group. There are
many to choose from. His 47 bull calves at DDA averaged 76 pounds at birth and his 53 heifers averaged 74 pounds.

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.
Sad to say the 50H bull got sick and died at 8 years old. We had planned getting semen collected and shipped back to the US. We were too late. His sons
have topped their sale for two 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. His 16 bull calves here at DDA averaged 78 pounds at birth and he had 8 Heifers at 73 pounds. Sons Selling: 44P and 75P.

DDA Freedom 17L has developed in to a very attractive young bull. He has depth, length, fleshing ability and a great temperament. Excellent calving ease. His
mother is 15 years old and still in great condition with a calf at her side again this summer. The 404 cow was sold as a donor in 07 and as of last spring at the
age of 20 she was still in production. The average birthweight on his 17 bull calves at DDA is 75 pounds and his 23 heifer calves averaged 73 pounds.
