Diamond W Enterprises

Diamond W Enterprises is a breeder of heritage shorthorn cattle in Holstein, IA, northwest Iowa near Sioux City. Sterling Weeda has devoted numerous seasons to developing a closed herd, emphasizing genetic health and longevity through routine veterinary screening and selective breeding. They follow breed association guidelines for registration and testing, including evaluations for calving ease and disease markers.

Their cattle graze on fertile pastures surrounded by sheltering timber, with calves socialized from birth to gentle handling and low-stress environments. Attention to temperament ensures offspring that adapt smoothly to both pasture-based herds and community livestock shows. Sterling works with neighboring farmers to exchange insights on soil fertility and rotational grazing, fostering a collaborative approach across the region.

Offspring exhibit steady growth rates and sound structure, making them well suited for small-scale farms or larger production systems. The farm layout includes sturdy fencing and clean water sources at every pasture.
