Georgia Santa Gertrudis Association

The Diamond Dollar Ranch is located at 2285 Mountain Rd. In Alpharetta, Georgia in the Furthest most portion of Fulton County approx. 25 miles north of Atlanta. The Ranch property was originally purchased by the late Judge William Daniel and his wife Jean Daniel. It was to be used as place away from the city that the Judge could keep a few horses, ride, and some day retire to. Little did they know that later would become sooner and they built a home on the property and moved out of the city to enjoy the country life. Soon after moving to the ranch the Judge bought a few Santa Gertrudis cattle from Texas and he was hooked. Not knowing very much about these cattle Mrs. Jean was soon hooked by the deep red rich color. It was hard to tell who loved these cattle more! Some additional land was purchased in Calhoun , Ga. And a few more cattle were purchased from around the nation providing a genetic basis for several of the cattle that still remain top producers on the ranch today.

At the Diamond Dollar Ranch our motto is Quality not Quantity. We are using all the tools available today including Ultrasound data and Carcass information as well as Gene Star testing for Marbling and Tenderness in our Sale Bulls. We use very strict visual evaluation and hard facts, including disposition to select for the most favorable traits in all of our cattle. We will continue to use artificial breeding as a tool to improve our seed stock and replacements. We are proud to be Santa Gertrudis Breeders and will continue to work hard to develop " The Cattleman's Kind". If you are in need of show heifers, replacement females or your next herd sire please feel free to call the ranch manager Dan Davis at 678 852 7301 or just come by the ranch we would love to show you around. Please have a look below at some of our cattle below and if you have any questions just give us a call. See Ya down the road!

Maximum Momentum our Sr. Herd Sire. He is an AI son of MC Momentum, A very strong past herd sire at MC Ranch. "Max" sets all the myths to rest in regards to a polled bull not having the Meat and muscle to pass on to there offspring. Max goes back to the Great "Scarlet" on top and on his dam side he is a grandson of the awesome polled bull " Polled Sam". We have been extremely pleased with Max as he passes the traits that we look for in our cattle. His calves are dark, clean, packed full of meat and mature early. Most of all these calves are Gentle! Max is a low birth weight bull and his calves grow quickly. Have a look at some of Max's offspring below and you be the judge.

	Here is a photo of Diamond Dollar Star 705. Now this is our kind of cow ! Pictured here just off winter and having weaned her first calf at 645 lbs! Star exhibits length , style ,correctness, and depth all in a moderate "easy keeping" package. She is a daughter of DDR Belle Y9/99 who is an AI daughter of Lazy E Ranch Bullet 6119. If your into numbers look at 6119's epd's. Stars sire is MC 155 Performer who is a grandson of Scarlett 24/9. She is now bred back to "Max" for her second calf that will be line bred CP 740. It should be a good one!

	Houchens 4/4 is the Grand Dam of our herd . She consistently produces High Quality offspring year after year . She is now 14 years old and had a natural heifer calf in Feb. pictured out of "Brother", a full brother to the Reserve National Champion Bull "Tonka", owned by Grandview Farms. This calf is her 12th calf! We have bred her to many Bulls such as MC Momentum, DDR Maximum Momentum, Polled Sam, and Lazy E Bullet 6119 and they have ALL Worked on her. We have retained several of her daughters back into our herd and her sons have been consistently at the top of the group at several sales. Her calves are all dark, Long, clean, and have plenty of muscle with a fantastic disposition. Diamond Dollar Ranch will be offering a 4/4 daughter out of MC Momentum bred back with calf at side . This will be a very solid offering and one you should consider seriously. This will be the first 4/4 daughter that has left our place and we know she will work for you! Oh by the way the 4/4 cow is currently bred back to DDR MAX for her 13th calf! ( and she picked up 30 days )

	"Diamond Dollar Belle" Belle is another very strong polled female in our herd. She consistently produces strong clean calves with tons of breed character. Belle is an AI daughter of Lazy E Bullet 6119. Take a look at 6119's e.p.d.'s and you will see the production built right in to the pedigree. Belle is a 99' model and she is for sure in the prime of her calving years. We have kept several of her daughters in our herd and the cross back to the CP 740 x Bullet 6119 has worked again and again. Belles July o6' calf is now a Jr. Herd Sire at Kersey Colley Farms in Metter, Ga. We know he will do them a good job!

They are definitely two peas in a pod ! They are getting ready to take the trip to Louisville KY. this June for there first National Jr. Heifer Show . Carson Davis will be at the stick on Holly and Zach Bull will be at the halter on Molly.
