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!
Thanks for winding through your windy week right here on Ranch Raised!
We are starring in to a busy weekend with lots of activities right here in our little community. It looks like there are a lot of community Easter Egg hunts all around us this weekend, and our little town is no different. I encourage families to get out and about with your neighbors and enjoy these activities. Don’t forget to give a lot of friendly thank you’s to those who have worked to organize these events and if available maybe drop them a few dollars so you can make sure these events keep happening in your community.
If you don’t have kids that are hunting age. Reach out and volunteer! Extra hands and eyes are always welcome to make the events for these little ones safer and run smoother.
So, I am giving a shout out to all of the communities and volunteers that are hosting and holding spring activities for families like mine to take part in. You are appreciated!
You can still grab by Taco Salad recipe on the Ranch Raised Facebook page and the Your Ag Network app and website. Whip it together if you are having your ranch branding this weekend.
Join me right back here tomorrow for Fun Fact Friday. Where I will pick and item from the grocery store and tell you the facts about the farming sector that put it in there. It is my pleasure to give American agriculture the attention that it deserves.
Have a great day from all of us at this great American radio station!

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.
