"Mine your Diamonds Every Day"

Diamonds in the Rough Cattle Company, Blakley Family Farm Meats, Creekside Plants & Produce, three names known far and near, are one and the same.

The ten great-great-great grandchildren pictured in the family photo are the 6th generation of the Blakley family to farm and ranch in Oklahoma. Some of the descendents still farm and ranch, as well as live on the home place Great-great-great grandpa Blakley staked in the Oklahoma Land Run in 1889 when the Cherokee Strip was opened. This property is in Garfield County, south of Waukomis, on Skeleton Creek. Other great grandparents came from Missouri, Arkansas and West Virginia to settle and farm in eastern Oklahoma. It is easy to see why the owners and operators of these two parts of the beef cattle industry, Diamonds in the Rough Cattle Company and Blakley Family Farms, strive every day to care for the animals and produce the very best products for you and your family.

Diamonds in the Rough Cattle Company raises and sells Maine-Anjou and Shorthorn purebred cattle known from coast to coast for their quality seed stock. These magnificent cattle have won champions in every major state fair and livestock show in the US and are sought after by breeders all across America.

Blakley Family Farm Meats, the finished product, is the very best meat; bred, born and raised near Oologah, Oklahoma. In addition, Creekside Plants and Produce, located on the bend, south of Oologah, is one of the largest herb and vegetable nurseries in Oklahoma.
