Manage episode 406041759 series 3410959
“Sometimes when things feel like it’s the worst day, it may turn out to be one of the best experiences in your interest.”
In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Nikki Callison of Callison Ranch. Nikki shared about how she got back into agriculture after being a teacher for ten years. Nikki and her husband, Roger started their direct to consumer beef operation and Nikki talked about her family history in the selling of beef business. Nikki also shared her experience raising three kids on the ranch and noted some of the lasting memories she has. Nikki explained the importance of marketing, not just for her business, but for agriculture as a whole. She likes using Instagram to educate people on agriculture and show some behind the scenes stuff to help people see where their food comes from and just how important agriculture is.
About our guest: Nikki Callison, Callison Ranch- Oklahoma
Nikki Callison and her family have raised beef cattle for generations. Nikki and her four brothers grew up helping their parents on their ranch, caring for cattle and horses. Nikki taught school for 10 years before realizing she missed the ranch and promptly moved back to Oklahoma and met her husband, Roger. They bought a home and acreage and adopted their three children.
Since then they have raised their kids on the ranch and jumped into selling and shipping beef direct to consumers.
