Welcome
Welcome to the 2nd annual Diamond Creek Cattle Co online Sale.Let me introduce our family who owns and operates Diamond Creek. Diamond Creek is a mixed farming operation owned by Todd, Debbie, Rylan, Austin and Jenna Knupp, which is located near Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
We started out with a commercial herd of cows and we purchased our first Shorthorn bull in 2008. We were impressed with how this Shorthorn bull worked in our commercial herd, so we started to pay more attention to the Shorthorn breed. This led to us purchasing our first purebred Shorthorn female in 2011 and just like eating potato chips we could not stop at just one, since then we have built up to now having over 100 breeding age females in 2025. Our first consignments to the Sun Country sale was in 2018. We have studied everything and anything, in regards to Shorthorns and we are in this breed for the long haul. We have selected the best sires we could find and afford, that would bring improvement to our herd. We have also selected the best AI sires available to us, and you will see several sons of these sires in this sale. We are starting to use ET genetics and you will see some in this sale.
Our cattle are developed on grass and homegrown feeds. We do not creep feed our calves. Our bulls and heifers are developed on an oat ration supplemented by good quality hay. These cattle are grown out and not fattened and harmed. Soundness is something we strive for and for this reason, we walk out pens every day and cull any animals we see with structural issues.
We are very pleased with the offering in this sale, and we invite you to watch the videos or come to the farm and see them yourself. Our sales consultants will have seen the cattle well in advance of the sale. They will give you their honest opinions on the cattle. Contact any of the owners and or the sale consultants at any time. We truly believe that there are breeding stock offered here that can work most anywhere.
