We have recently had our herd graded. Grading is scored on structural correctness, feet, udders, muscle, bone, and condition. The score range is from 1 - 10 , with 1 being extremely bad, 5 being good, and 10 being extremely good. Check out the grading scores listed with the other information for our animals. Welcome to H Diamond Cattle Co. and Eagle Rock Murray Greys. Combined, we are one of America's largest producers of registered Murray Grey cattle. We are commercially focused, striving to produce cattle that will make a profit in all areas of the cattle industry and under any conditions. We believe that as seedstock breeders we have the responsibility to produce cattle that are of the highest quality to ensure that only the best genetics continue to be passed on to our clients, and on to theirs. We have a very strict set of standards that every animal we produce must pass before it is advanced as a breeding animal. Any animals that don't pass our criteria are sold as butcher beef or show steers. Goal Our goal is to produce moderately framed, structurally correct cattle that are highly fertile, have efficient growth, and yield quality carcasses. Calving ease and a good disposition are a must have! Ranch History
The Holloway's farm is located 16 miles north of Idaho Falls, in Roberts, ID, where we raise cattle, horses, dogs, and rabbits on this irrigated pasture land. We are lucky enough to get frequent visits from wildlife such as moose, deer, Trumpeter Swans, pheasants, Gray Wolves, Red Tailed Hawks, and many forms of water foul. We started into beef cattle with a herd of commercial cattle and registered Black Angus. After trying many different breeds, we began raising Murray Greys in 2000. We started with two cows, a calf, a bull and a lot of guidance from other Murray Grey breeders. We now have more than fifty registered Murray Grey cows. Our bloodlines come from some of the top herds in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. We also have some registered Black Angus, Red Angus, Simmental, and some commercial cattle. The Christensens have been involved in education for many years. The Holloways are self-employed in cattle hoof trimming and artificial insemination in the Upper Snake River Valley area. They also raise some registered Quarter Horses and Australian Shepherd dogs. |
The Christensen's farm was homesteaded nearly one hundred years ago where Indians, trappers, and freight wagons had traveled the trail to Southwestern Montana. Our family purchased it in 1944. Many changes and improvements have occurred since it was sagebrush, and we now raise hay, grain, and cattle on this irrigated farm located about five miles North of Idaho Falls, in beautiful Southeastern Idaho.
