Diamond Z 2026 Catalog

Welcome

Welcome to the 2026 Diamond Z Private Treaty Bull Sale! We are excited to present this offering of bulls.

Our first calves sired by BNC Mr Hojer L335, a son of DDGR Baller 429G, arrived in the spring of 2025. His calves exhibit nice muscle and have good growth. BNC L335 was used more heavily in the breeding pasture last summer. JLSL Ledgerwood Mission Statement 491M, a son of LRSF Pacesetter J124, was added to our sire line-up in the spring of 2025. We are anxiously waiting for the arrival of his first calves as this catalogue goes to print.

We were once again a partner in the Function and Finesse Female Sale hosted by Twin View Livestock at Parkbeg SK. Aaron and Joe toured our herd in early July and selected two females for the October Sale. We are pleased to be a sale partner and appreciate the commitment Aaron and Joe have for this Sale, to their herd and to the Gelbvieh breed. We have additional females for sale private treaty off the farm.

We continued to showcase our yearling bulls with a display in The Yards at Canadian Western Agribition. Ryan and Kaci attended the People’s Choice Bull Futurity in Stettler, AB with two bull calves. Both events provide a great opportunity to network with purebred and commercial beef producers. The current optimism in the beef industry is wonderful to see. With strong cattle prices, there’s no better time than now to invest in your herd by bringing in new genetics or perhaps replacing aging bulls with young sires while getting good money for your culls.

Our bulls have been developed responsibly with soundness and longevity in mind. Temperament is a trait that we value in our animals and we are confident that the quiet disposition of our herd will be evident when viewing our stock. If you’re in need of a calving ease specialist or your next herd sire, we have numerous options in both categories. The bulls featured are picked from our top cow families and we are confident you will be pleased with the resulting calf crop.

Please note that weaning weights and yearling weights are reported as adjusted weights. Bulls offered for sale will undergo a Breeding Soundness Evaluation and be given their first shot of Fusoguard footrot vaccine. Diamond Z Livestock has a complete herd health program and is a certified Verified Beef Production Plus operation.

Video links are available for the bulls offered for sale. Give us a call to chat about your program and we welcome you to come for a visit to view the bulls on offer. Thank you for your interest in our breeding program!

AWB 92J is the maternal granddam of ZAL Numero Uno 1N, the yearling bull also catalogued. Mauney is stout built with a wide top and deep body. He excels in WW, YW, Milk and Marbling traits.

No Brainer is a Balancer 75 from a strong cow family. His dam, Diamond Z Fantasy 23F, has two beautiful daughters in our herd and a bull calf sold to a commercial cattle operation. The granddam is a powerful Angus cow that was purchased to use in our Balancer program. Females in this cow family have a nice udder and good feet. This young bull struts his stuff and loves the ladies. No Brainer has good feet and is a confdent mover ready to cover ground. No Brainer will add pounds to your calf crop and produce some nice females to retain as replacements.

Reference Sires

Fully Loaded was our resident calving ease specialist for numerous years. He holds the number one spot in the Calving Ease Direct Trait listing report published by CGA. Fully Loaded is sired by Franchise F806 who has not been widely used in Canada. Fully Loaded offspring have a lower birthweight without sacrifcing weaning weight.

Bullseye is a bull that we believe lives up to his name! Coming from the Gustin program out of North Dakota, this CTR Jackpot 8660F ET son has lots of volume and a big hip in a moderate frame size. Bullseye sons have patterned very similar and the frst females are impressing us with the tremendous udder quality and suspension.

We brought this bull up from South Dakota to add Baller genetics into our herd. Mr Hojer was used primarily on second calvers in his frst breeding season. His calves are well muscled with good weaning weights. The replacement heifers we have retained are looking great as we approach the 2026 breeding season.
