Karina Jones is a real-life ranch wife in the Nebraska Sandhills and one of the most highly sought-after speakers in the cattle industry nationwide!
The seasons are changing! Thanks for starting your week with me right here on Ranch Raised.
Anyone else feel like we are caught in that awkward stage with Mother Nature? The days kiss your skin with warmth and have you hanging on to those summer time feelings. But, the evenings are cooling way off. When you study the landscape you can see the green turning to golden hues. We are caught in between that iced coffee and hot coffee stage of summer and fall.
I found this perfect poem, posted on social media by Rick Christman, from Mobridge, SD. Check out his Rick’s Salt and his café! Great stuff!

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.
