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 tuning in to Fun, Fact Friday! May has been widely known as “Beef Month.” I can think of no better whole food to highlight during this month than my favorite protein!
As the head cook in the house, this also means that I am basically the family nutritionist. I know that I need to place the majority of my focus on whole foods that pack a nutritional punch. I can always count on beef to be that powerful protein source that is amazing for the growing brains and bodies around my table! I know that beef is most notable known for that protein punch that it packs but consider all of its other nutritional benefits. Beef is a rich source of Vitamin B-6 & B-12, Zinc, Niacin, Iron, and Phosphorus. Beef contains all of the amino acids and helps maintain healthy muscle mass!
Beef is the star of the show at most of our meals because I know it provides my family with the nutrition that their bodies need. I trust the American cattle producers that are meeting the most stringent cattle health and safety protocols. And now, more than ever, there are more opportunities to source your beef locally and really connect with a cattle producer in your area.

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.
