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!


For those of you who are not livestock owners, I wanted to give you a look into what we are thinking on days like today! It is gonna be a doozy today on Ranch Raised.

As we are faced with this completely miserable weather situation, here is a look inside the minds of many livestock producers on days like today.

“Ope, better get my day started. I pray everything cranks right off.”

“One more cup of coffee while the tractor or pick up warms up. Yeah, that’s what I need to warm my spirits. I wonder how many bales I should feed those cows up north.”

“Maybe the weather man will be completely wrong. It’s happened before like when we were supposed to get an inch of rain last July and we got 10 drops. I would be so happy if we only got down to 0. Hear my prayer sweet baby Jesus!”

As I’m trying to start the tractor and it is cranking over and over and over, “Please Lord, come on, come on, come on. There we go! Fired up and you’re gonna stay running all day feeding cows.”

“I can’t wait to be best friends with my axe all day going around and chopping ice. If I wanted to be lumberjack, I would have moved to Canada!”

“Oh goodie, this hydrant is frozen. I should have known. Well, at least I can warm up a little next to the propane torch.”

“Oh the thermostat decided to go out in the feeding pick up today of all days!!!! Can this day possibly get any better!”

“I eat challenge for breakfast and I live for replacing block heaters on days like today! Will this day ever end!”

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.
