It Is the great fall debate! Thanks for turning your dial to Ranch Raised.
We know as the leaves turn and the landscape burns with hues of golden colors, one of the most polarizing debates will resurface. The stakes are high. Friendships are tested. The line in the sand is drawn, which side are you on?
Are you team Apple Cider or Pumpkin Spice? What did you think I was talking about? Politics?
I’m really not sure how we got here as a nation. Apple cider is as iconic as apple pie and a part of American history, but then a few years back the new kid on the block, pumpkin spice, showed up and has been trying to steal the spotlight ever since.
For those who hate conflict, there is still another option: apple cider with pumpkin spice. Yes, someone decided that rather than choose between the two contenders, a tie was the best option. Pumpkin Spiced Apple Cider, Apple Cider and Pumpkin Pie, Spiced Apple and Pumpkin Latte, and more variations have appeared for the fall enthusiast who will never deem one fall flavor superior to the other.
When it comes to beverages, if only given these two options, I am going to stick with the ole standby, apple cider. What can I say, I don’t want to break up with an old friend.
Who wins favorite fall flavor in your book? We won’t have too much longer to debate and then it will be my favorite time of year Peppermint Mocha season!
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.
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.
