\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I’m Debbie Lyons-Blythe. I am a cattle rancher in central Kansas, in the
\n heart of the Flint Hills. My husband and I both grew up raising
\ncattle. It is an excellent way of life, not just a way to make a living!<\/p>\n

We have been married for more than 29 years, and have five kids: Meghan, age 27<\/span>;
\n Allie, age 25; Trent, age
\n24; and Tyler and Eric, age 22 (yes, they
\n are twins!).<\/p>\n

We have about 250 <\/span>mama cows raising calves, and 350 <\/span>heifers
\n (cows that haven’t had a calf yet). We sell bulls and heifers and
\nsometimes feed out our steers at a feedyard. But usually our
\nproduct is the genetics that other ranchers use to produce beef.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

My job is to raise the cattle and kids. My husband works in town and
\nhelps on the ranch in the evenings and weekends. We love our ranch in
\nKansas. It is a beautiful place to raise cattle and a family.<\/p>\n

I post to this blog to share with people around the world what
\nlife is like in rural Kansas and how my family works every day to ensure
\n a safe, nutritious supply of beef to consumers.<\/p>\n

I am also on social media as DebbieLB most places. Look for me:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
