Diamond S Cattle Co

Diamond S Cattle Co raises Chianina on rolling pastures in Bastrop, TX, in Central Texas near Austin. It is a member of the American Chianina registry and follows recommended health screenings for fertility, structural soundness, and genetic traits at every stage. Sammy and Shawn Slover draw on decades of combined experience and three generations of ranching heritage to steward the land and herd.

The breeding program uses locally sourced hay and mineral supplements to support healthy growth, while breeding decisions prioritize longevity and maternal traits. The cattle graze on native pastures with regular pasture rotation, supplemented by trace minerals, and receive daily handling for early socialization and ease of management. On this family-run ranch, calves are born and raised in open fields with ample shelter, fresh water, clean bedding, and regular farm visits to promote trust.

Visitors often note the calm temperament, robust health, and consistent conformation of the herd. Sustainability guides land management and animal welfare practices year-round, with cover cropping and water conservation plans in place.
