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!

Who is ready for a beach vacation? Welcome to a new, warmer week on Ranch Raised! 

Who did chores this morning and said, “wow, this is great!” I don’t even know if it was 20 degrees yet, but this morning felt like a heat wave. As I was pitching hay to the goats I was thinking, “this is what a beach vacation must feel like!” Which seemed odd since I was doing manual labor while still wearing snow pants and full winter weather gear, but oh well, that is where my mind was wandering. 

So, my plan is to soak up every heat unit Mother Nature sends our way this week! This is our week people, rejoice and be glad in it! The ice on tanks will be a little thinner. Diesel engines should roar. A certain little boy in our house will be able to enjoy many more hours outside in his happy place. I bet I have some girls who grab some sleds and hit some hills. For a bit, I feel like the warm up this week will allow us some normal winter vibes.  

The last few weeks have been incredibly hard on the livestock production community. Please know that you are not alone. The losses that occurred, the challenges that were endured, can weigh very heavy on a person’s shoulders. There are numerous farm stress resources waiting to listen including 1-800-FARM-AID. Don’t carry the weight alone.

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 former 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.
