D248 and D012 – Here are 2 full sibs out of our 248Y donor. D248(Homo black) is the natural calf and d012 (Hetro Black) is the et. These are both really impressive long bodied stout made bulls that can work in many situations. Making replacements or making feeder steers these bulls can do both. Buy the pair and turn them out together to create a uniform calf crop. Once again another set of bulls that trace back to the great 245S cow. Both bulls are Homo Polled

We have sent sons and daughters of Sierra to some of the most prominent Simmental breeders across the United States and Canada. D014 could continue that path. There won’t be many more sons due to her age and we are making lots of daughters. Homo Polled

If you have a set of Angus cows registered or commercial and are thinking about cross breeding buy this bull. We can only image this SimAngus calves by this bull. You would be able to sell Bulls, Females, steers and be instant competition for all breeders. The Blackstone sire group will become a house hold name in the next few bull sales. He saw light duty in this crop but is in heavy use now. He is producing lots of good calves and the majority are baldies. Homo Polled and Homo Black

Doug likes to talk about the 240J line and that is the granddam of 245A but we believe the torch has been passed to 245A. She is a flat awesome cow and starting to show thru in her calves. Evolution is a small sample of what she can do. Another one of the bulls that by phenotype we would use but due to his parentage will not work for us. Possibly 50% of our herd carry some of his genetics. Homo Polled

Everybody loves a baldy and D246 has that perfect blaze we all want. Along with that pretty face come a scale mashing set of data. 2nd high yearling weight bull for us. Top 1 % in YW, ADG, and TI. Top 2% in WW and top 15% for API. And with all that data he is still impressive to look at Thick topped, long bodied and really fancy fronted. I can just imagine the calves out of this bull topping the market. Homo Polled and Hetro Black.

Disclaimer: Don’t discount this bull for not being in extra condition. He spent the fall breeding commercial cows. We pulled the best purebred and percentage bulls to put in the showbarn last summer. D753 was the purebred choice. No holes/faults in this bull. We practice what we preach and put the best bull on our commercial cows. In the end it may hurt his sale value but we will make it up in the value he puts in the calf crop. Buy this guy with confidence he knows what to do.

Performance bull deluxe here. D372 has been a standout since hitting the ground. 2nd heaviest weaning and 1st in his yearling contemporaries. This bull is super long bodied, massive made and yet sound is his structure. Ranks in the top 1% for all performance traits while being in the top 15% for calving ease. I hadn’t really studied his paper work until this footnote and its exciting. A full brother was the 2nd high selling bull last year. This cow does it every time. D372 fits that mold again.

We love the look and performance of D242. Dr. Allen was not really wanting to turn 242Y out with the A007 bull looks like it worked out Ok. 242Y is one of our lead donors and has done it again. She milks great, breeds on time and flushes great. I don’t know if we could expect more out of a cow. She does it all. This is the type of bull we should keep but his pedigree is to prevalent in our herd. Homo Polled and Hetro Black.

I would like to take this time to invite you to the 20 th Annual Bulls of the Bluegrass bull sale in Lexington, Kentucky on Saturday, April 7th at the Bluegrass Market Place. This is the 50th Anniversary of the Simmental breed and it is fitting that this group of dedicated breeders celebrate their 20th Annual. In the decision to start a bull sale 19 years ago there was no Simmental bull sale in the state other than a UK performance tested bull sale and there was some uncertainty in all the process however Dr Henry Allen and Fred Swain made the decision to start and become bull suppliers for there customers whomever they be. Over the years the group has sold bulls to 28 states and Canada. As in past sales again the breeders involved are offering a great and consistent set of bulls . Whether you are a Simmental breeder, Angus breeder, club calf producer or a commercial beef producer you will have a great selection of bulls for your operation. The bull selection is probably the best set ever with a wide range of pedigrees and just a plain good group of impressive bulls. Many past customers have bulls working in their operations across Kentucky and the United States. Just think how many Simmental bulls are working across the state of Kentucky and the genetic merit that has been added to cow herds. In visiting with many customers the genetics are definitely improving their end product and bottom line. This is one of the later bull sales in Kentucky and you as a producer can rest assured you can find the right bull for your program. Buy the correct herd sire and take him home and put him to work. This group is committed to the seed stock industry and the Simmental breed and that’s the reason for their 20 th bull sale.

The cattle numbers across the country are low as they have been since 1959 however the prices are backed off somewhat however the group still offers a top group of bulls. There is no better time so select a Simmental bull that offers efficiency and that high hybrid vigor which results to pounds and profit in your cow herd. If you haven’t used a Simmental in the past I encourage you to visit with the consignors or and learn more about the advantages of using a Simmental or SimAngus™ bull. The bull group continues to select and produce cattle to meet the industry needs and the needs of the commercial producer. I encourage you to visit with the producers regarding their bulls. This year the offering consists of purebred Simmentals, and SimAngus™ bulls.

The bulls will be ready for viewing on Friday so please stop by anytime especially if you cannot attend on Saturday. The Bluegrass new facility is second to none and it is pleasure to be at a fine facility. Also, Multi Min will be sponsoring a meal and educational session on Friday night as well. Also, visit with the fine veterinarians of Dr Henry Allen and Dr Dawn Crouch. Come visit and take it all in and look at great sets of Simmental and Sim Angus bulls. We will be glad to assist you on any of your bull needs. On behalf of DP Sales Management we always enjoy working and promoting Simmentals with a great group of breeders. If anyone has any questions regarding the sale offering contact the consignors, Dalton Lundy, Drew Hatmaker, or myself. Again we look forward to visiting with you sale weekend. I guarantee on your inspection that there will be a great selection of bulls. These committed breeders made sure of the quality issue. Also, don’t forget that trucking is available if needed. See you sale day.

For our bull customers across the country the sale will be on DV Auctions so please utilize that service however call DP Sales or any other breeders for info about your possible selections. Watch for updates, sale order and the schedule on our website and at Bluegrass Marketplace as well.

This is a big, stout, two-year-old bull who has a little more stretch and growth. He is extremely attractive to look at and is long and extended with a little white streak on his face. His foot and leg structure is impeccable and indicates he will stay sound for a long time. This is one that will add a lot of growth and pounds to a calf crop. Homozygous Black and Homozygous Polled

We have had huge success with Steel Force progeny out of 403P. The Sloup and Hilltop programs partnered a couple of years ago to make one the $12,500 top seller in the Belle’s of the Bluegrass and this bull is a solid black version that is also intriguing. This tried and true mating always produces cattle that are easy doing and very functional. 632D represents this mating very well and is one that will produce saleable cattle in many settings.

This is a fall version of 611D who has a blaze face and is perhaps a bit more conventional in his design. This well designed, moderate framed bull is really very good.

This is a very unique individual. It’s unusual to find one that has this much look and style and that still has so much muscle and power. He is a balanced numbered bull that can be used across a wide variety of situations. He is an outcross and his donor dam by the Duff bull Basic Instinct is our headline donor because of her ability to create cattle like this. This is a truly interesting individual that can work in a high end setting. Homozygous Black and Homozygous Polled.

This is a bull that just looks great from every angle. He is deep, thick and sound and puts it together in a package that is smooth as a ribbon. I would be happy if every one of our bulls looked just like this one, we like this one a lot! We have several flush mate sisters to him and they are going to be fantastic! From a genetic standpoint, we like his overall balance and that he remains more than 105 on API. He is a balanced numbered bull that can be used across a wide variety of situations. 705E is an outcross and his donor dam by Duff bull Basic Instinct is our headline donor because of her ability to create cattle like this.

Here is a special individual that has loads of quality. 63D will be a top notch herd bull and loads to offer a breeding program. 63D is sired by the past high seller many years ago, Welsh Dew It Right. Dew It Right continues to excel with program of both sexes. Many years ago we would have never dreamed this would have happened in our small program. On the bottom side is even more special with 63D’s dam being Roxie which produced the Ky Beef Expo champion, Scarlett which now a donor for Gerdes Show Cattle. Scarlett is the dam of several big time heifers that claimed banners and were high sellers. On the bull end Scarlett produced both Dew North the Reserve bull and GSC Saughatchee the % Champion at the North American. What a feat that hardly ever happens. 63D is deep bodied with a lot of rib shape and thickness. 63D is homozygous polled. This bull can along add to the equation and offer tons of genetic merit just all the rest of his proven family members.
