Author, Livestock Illustrator and Ranch Hand meet CJ Brown

Monday Mar 04, 2024
Recently we attended the Iowa Cattlemen's Beef Expo at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. We were there to visit with cattle producers and take in the trade show. One of the booths that caught our attention was filled with very detailed images of farm and ranch scenes. So fine that, at first we thought they were photographs. But, no...it is art work created by the very talented livestock illustrator CJ Brown. CJ not only creates these amazing portraits but she also writes books and loves to talk about beef production in the U.S. You can see her work here but first, listen to her story.
