May your troubles be less,
And your blessings be more.
May nothing but happiness
Come through your door!
Thanks for tuning into this St. Patrick’s Day edition of Ranch Raised!
We may not get to go out on the town and do fancy things for holidays, especially when they fall right during calving season, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t have a little fun here on the ranch! I am sure today will be record consumption day for cornbeef and cabbage, but I have another festive and fizzy recipe to share to chase down that favorite Irish meal!
So, raise your glass today or heck, party all weekend and fill ‘er up with a good ole Shamrock float! It’s simple. A couple of scoops of lime sherbet and pour a citrus flavored soda over the top. Now, you could always use plain ole vanilla ice cream and jazz it up with a drop of green food coloring. It won’t really matter around here; my family has never met a flavor of ice cream that they didn’t like. Sometimes we just have to break away from the chores and have a little refreshing treat.
This recipe and others are posted on the Your Ag Network website and app, as well as the Ranch Raised Facebook page! Cheers to you, cheers to me, enjoy a Shamrock float and be happy! And as always, be safe and responsible when celebrating.
Happy St Patrick’s Day from this great American radio station and all of us at Your Ag Network!

Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 3 daughters near Broken Bow, NE. She grew up in western NE, with roots also in southwest SD. The cattle industry and raising kids is her passion.
Watching the cattle industry go the path that it has gone, she could no longer sit quietly at home checking cows, fixing fence, and doing all the everyday tasks wondering when some else was going to make it all better. As she became more active and outspoken on industry issues, she was asked to join the R-CALF USA staff in September 2020 as the Checkoff Petition Campaign manager. That position transcended into her current role as full time Field Director for R-CALF USA.
You can hear her almost every Friday on Your Ag Network’s Hot Barn Report that is broadcast on 60 radio stations with coverage in 9 states, where she deep dives into cattle industry issues and highlights R-CALF’s work on industry reforms. Listen to Ranch Raised on a Your Ag Network hometown station or www.youragnetwork.com where she talks about her daily life on the ranch.
Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
