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 week with us, right here on this great American radio station. As I look around our communities, they are abuzz with spring activities. And while I am a master homebody, ranch hermit, having kids active in these activities forces me to step up.
This weekend our girls are showing cattle at our local prospect show, hosted by a great bunch of volunteers. I sent a quick message just saying I would be happy to help with the free meal they provide contestants and their families the night of check in. I received a reply back that cookies or brownies would gladly be accepted.
Now I do have my Buckaroo Brownie recipe that you can find on the Your Ag Network app or website or on the RR FB page. Infact, we just whipped them up this weekend. But for this event I knew I would be feeding a big crowd and there is always one recipe I pull for when that is the case. It is time to share my big batch of chocolate chip cookie recipe! It takes like 6 cups of flour so, start with a BIG bowl!
This is a perfect recipe to have on hand to feed those cattle working and field crews this spring or to take to a big gathering. So come back tomorrow and I will spill the beans, I mean the chocolate chips for my never fail, American classic!

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.
