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!
Welcome to June and thanks for starting this new month with me right here on Ranch Raised!
Wow, we are whizzing through 2023! We flip the calendar to the new month of June and I think that any of our outdoor lovers are excited to see us here. Green grass, growing crops, and brightly colored floors dot the landscape both urban and rural. Warmer days and summer evenings make for the perfect combination of sharing time with those around you.
Monthly observances in June include Great Outdoors Month, Family Month, Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, National Milk Month, National Beef Steak Month and Zoo and Aquarium Month. Hey, I can get on board with all of those! Looks like some great reasons to be active and enjoy the beautiful days that this month brings.
June’s birth flower is the rose and honeysuckle.
June’s birthstone is the pearl which is known for purity, honesty, and calmness.
June is the month where we say good bye to spring.
We wave Hello to summer
And fly a kite on a string.
The weather is getting hotter as the school year starts to end.
I’m really so excited to spend summer with my friends!
Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 4 children 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, where she deep dives into cattle industry issues and 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 Jones Ranch.
Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
