Diamond K Shorthorns raises Heritage shorthorn cattle in Twin Bridges, MT, in Madison County and southwestern Montana near Bozeman. The farm is run by Wally Klose, who has bred shorthorn cattle for several years, following registry standards and conducting routine health testing. Calves are raised on open pastures with rotational grazing to support natural growth and social interaction among the herd.

The operation focuses on maternal traits and gentle temperament, qualities appreciated by local families and small-scale farmers. Calves receive daily human interaction and access to shelter built from reclaimed materials, reflecting the farm’s commitment to both animal well being and resourcefulness. The family-owned ranch was established on land passed down through generations, fostering a sense of stewardship and continuity in the cattle program. The farm often participates in local agricultural events, sharing best practices with neighbors and supporting regional livestock initiatives.
