Welcome
Fellow Simmental Enthusiasts,
It is with great pleasure that we welcome
you to the Land Of Lincoln 18th Annual
Production sale! Time-tested, honest,
and reliable genetics from some of the
Nation’s top outfits can be identified
throughout this sale catalog. There is no
denying the quality of cattle that have
cross through the ring in Altamont, IL
and the impact that they have left on the
breed! Progressive breedersmake up this
sale group, and there is no denying the
quality of cattle that they have brought
forth yet again for your inspection! This
sale has produced National Champion
females, foundation females, and donors
that have been profitable for their new
owners.
No matter what your program’s focus
is, we are confident that in this set of
females there will be something for
everyone. Quality cattle that are sound
structured, easy fleshing, well balanced
phenotypically and numerically that
come from firms that stand behind the
product that they produce!
We are excited to announce that this
year we will be transforming the sale to a
video auction for your viewing pleasure.
The cattle will be on display the days
leading up to the sale and on sale
day. DVauction.com will provide a live
broadcast for those of you who cannot
make this year’s event.
Consider this your invitation to join us
on November 4th in Altamont, IL at
the Diamond A Farms sale facility. We
couldn’t be more excited about this
offering and we think you will agree!
Videos of the offering will be available
the week prior to the sale. If you have
any questions, we welcome all calls and
inquiries about this impressive offering.
Enjoy the cattle!
Marketing Team
