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!
Speaking of spring to do list, I want to talk about a product that is always a part of our spring calf vaccination protocol and also the exclusive sponsor of Ranch Raised during the month of May. Which is pretty fitting during “Beef Month”!
With times of such tight, to non-existent margins in the cow/calf sector, we take it very seriously that every momma on this ranch has to bring home a live calf in the fall to wean and sell and she herself has to be bred back to do it again. As herdsman, we look for those tools that will increase the odds of that happening.
My husband and I introduced MultiMin 90 as a standard herd practice on our ranch over 10 years ago. At our place every calf gets it at birth when they are tagged. Now we virtually have zero issue with spring respiratory issues or illness. In learning more about this product, it is actually advised to work it into your protocol at branding time.
Our cow factory is the foundation to our future! When we run heifers through to insert CIDRS, we also give them a MultiMin shot. I am hearing of more and more feedlots giving MultiMin 90 when they intake calves in the fall.
So talk to your local vet or learn more at multiminusa.com!

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.
