• 5 eggs by Capitalist daughter x Sonic.
• Dam of these embryos was selected as a donor because of her excellent phenotype
and her dam’s success. Her dam recorded 4 BR 92 and 4 NR 107.
• Donor of these embryos is only daughter from flush. Her five full brothers were featured
and displayed right at the front door at the Stevenson’s Diamond Dot Sale. They
were used in natural service and were highlighted by Diamond Capitalist B011 that
sold for $9,500 to Connelly Angus, Valier, MT and Diamond Capitalist B013 that sold
for $10,000 to Currant Creek Angus, Roundup, MT. Both these sires have many calves
being weaned at Diamond Dot and are definitely keeping up with AI calves.
• The dam of this donor is now deceased and was thought to be the top cow to ever graze
the pastures of the Diamond Dot. She was the high selling cow in the 2014 production
sale selling for $32,000. She is the dam of Diamond In The Rough that has been the
lead sire in recent Stevenson’s Diamond Dot sales. In 2015 his 23 sons averages
$11,163 and included the $35,000 Diamond In the Rough 0C94 to Spear U Angus and
Joseph Angus of South Dakota and the $35,000 Diamond In the Rough 797B that sold
to Jensen Angus of Wyoming. Other sons of this Donor include Diamond Republic
2432 to Frank Angus, Hobson, MT and Diamond Vance 3695 to Green Mountain
Angus, Ryegate, MT. Another son Diamond Denver 72B6 sold for $20,000 in 2015
Stevenson’s Diamond Dot sale to Jerry Duckworth for export to Canada. Also her embryos
selling in 2014 NILE topped the sale, selling to Sydenstricker Genetics.
• Sire of these embryos was DL Sonic 444, the record setting bull sold in the 2015 Lewis
Brothers Angus Bull Sale in South Dakota. His calves come easy with a number of herds
reporting top weaning weights this fall. Sonic features outstanding EPDs with a +15 CED
backed by BW -1.4, WW 75, YW 130, $W top 1%, $F top 2% and $B top 5%. Sonic is
owned with Ravellette Cattle Philip, SD and Grandview Angus, Rapid City, SD.
