Celebrating 74 Years of
Breeding Black Angus Genetics

Loy Glause and his brothers, Black Diamond Ranch, purchased their first registered Angus heifer in 1951.  Later, Loy branched off on his own and continued breeding black Angus cattle as Lazy Black Diamond Ranch (LBDR).  Loy's sons, Kevin, Galen, Brian, & Clayton continued LBDR as the second generation.  In 2010, Galen's son, Morgan invested in the herd and is now the third generation involved with the operation.  2025 marks the 74th year the Glause Family has been selling registered Angus cattle. 

Our cow herd continues to be the corner stone of our program.  We strive to focus on maternal genetics that yield problem-free, productive cattle that can thrive with the resources available to us.  Decades of selection has helped us build a cow herd with consistent, predictable genetics, all while fulfilling the end market expectations of our consumers.
