Nothing beats the peaceful sounds of a barn on a perfect weather day in Kansas! ☀️

Invest with confidence.

Just this week, the American Black Hereford Association released the list of cows who achieved Dam of Supremacy honors for 2026.

Of the 27 Dams recognized, 14 are from J&N Ranch.

That’s the kind of confidence in our genetics that carries through our entire herd. Proven females, proven genetics and decades of selecting for the traits that matter.

So, as you make your selections for Saturday’s sale, know you’re selecting from some of the best genetics in the breed.

We’re proud of what these genetics have proven, and we’re excited to see where they go from here.

Woke up in Nashville this morning, and was in the Flint Hills by 1pm gathering cows for preg checking. What a world we live in.

We pregged 81 today, we’ll do another 84 tomorrow, which will wrap up the cows on the south side of the ranch.
