Tell us about yourself.
"Together with my husband, Nick, we work alongside with family the day-to-day responsibilities of farming, ranching, and the chaos of a growing family with our three children, Carrie (5), Emma (4), and Cole (2). Jindra Angus is a fifth-generation farming family located near Clarkson, Neb., where we focus on producing high-quality Angus cattle. Our goal is to produce functional cattle that work well in varying environments and continue to create a superior product for the consumer. Customer satisfaction from our commercial cattlemen all the way to the consumer is very important to us. Our upcoming bull sale is on February 12, 2025, featuring a premier offering of stout yearling and older bulls along with a fancy set of registered yearling heifers. We are excited about this year’s sale offering as it marks the 25th Annual Production Sale for Jindra Angus and it is truly a testament to a productive and efficient cow herd, a vertically integrated program, and exceptional customers. It has been an awesome experience to get to know and work with so many great cattlemen and women across the country! We greatly appreciate the support of family, so many friends, and customers that have been with us along the way!"
What is your favorite cooking tip/trick?
"Double your casseroles, cookie recipes, and any other dessert. The additional can go in the freezer or be shared with a neighbor or friend."
What is your most requested dish or what is your favorite thing to make?
"Cinnamon rolls have become a community favorite; they really are a labor of love. However, I believe it doesn’t get any easier or more delicious than a classic rib eye or New York strip steak, grilled medium-rare of course."
What is your least favorite job in the kitchen?
"It’s a toss-up between washing dishes and deciding what to make for supper (that my young kids will sit down and eat). This last year they have gotten involved more with meal planning and cooking “their meal”; it has made this chore much more fun!"
Where did you learn to cook?
"Although all my family knows how to cook, no one does it better than Mom. She started teaching me how to make 4-H cookies and biscuits and graduated to helping with weekday suppers. I have been fortunate into my adult life to be surrounded by other women who enjoy bonding with ‘girl dinners,’ and now I enjoy swapping recipes with my sister-in-laws."
