Welcome to another episode of the American Cattlemen Podcast and our Producer Profile. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, the Publisher of American Cattlemen, and Jon Caraway with Caraway Red Angus from Lexington, NE. John Carraway's journey in cattle ranching began in Minnesota, where his family transitioned from Herefords to Red Angus in 1995. After serving in the Marine Corps and National Guard for 18 years, John retired from military service and focused on expanding his family's cattle operation.  Caraway Red Angus is a family-run operation where John's children, aged six to eleven, actively participate in ranch activities. They maintain both registered and commercial herds, with an annual bull sale that has become a cornerstone of their business. The upcoming sale on March 15, 2025, will feature 40 bulls from carefully selected sire groups. The ranch focuses on producing high-quality Red Angus bulls with exceptional genetics. John emphasizes not just the physical attributes of their bulls, but also their temperament and performance. The bulls are ultrasound tested and selected for traits like marbling, ribeye area, and growth potential. Key sire lines include STR Relentless, Brunswick, a Letty Redemption son, and a bull nicknamed "Spud." What sets Caraway Red Angus apart is their commitment to customer service. John believes in building long-term relationships with buyers, offering support beyond the sale. He prides himself on bulls that are safe around families, perform well in commercial settings, and come with a guarantee of quality. The sale will be conducted via DV auction, with Matt Prince as the auctioneer. Bulls will be available for viewing before the sale, with detailed information and videos posted on their website. John's approach reflects his military background - hard work, reliability, and a dedication to helping others succeed. For commercial producers seeking reliable, well-bred Red Angus bulls, Caraway Red Angus offers a compelling option backed by years of careful breeding and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
