Flying Diamond Longhorns
Flying Diamond Longhorns was established in 2024 as a hobby and something to do to take my mind off real work. We are located in Newcastle OK, a small town on the southside of Oklahoma City.
As a kid growing up farming and running commercial cattle, I hated the hard work and left the farm as soon as I could but I've always loved longhorns and my father allowed me to run a couple of longhorn cows with his commercial herds. I bought them at the annual wildlife refuge auction for nothing more than to produce calves for the meat. I liked how lean the longhorn beef is compared to other breeds. When my father decided to retire and sell everything, I had to step up and keep the beef coming in for my family so I decided to make it fun and start my own registered Texas longhorn business as a hobby. I never thought it would've become so addictive and man do they make great yard ornaments and conversation pieces. I bought a few registered cows and a bull to get started and then I really started nerding out on blood lines and pedigrees.
My goal is to keep the herd small and manageable but build a strong foundation with some of the best bloodlines in the industry through AI and embryo transfer.
