GET TO KNOW A YOUNG MEMBER:
CO M P I L E D BY A N GELA FARYAN & TYLER HAR RIS WITH OCA’S YO U NG CATTLEME N CO MMIT TEE The Young Cattlemen’s Committee is proud to introduce Jason & Kari Ott as our Young Rancher Spotlight for this month. Both Jason and Kari have been members of the Oregon Cattlemen’s association since January of 2019. As you read along, it’s easy to see why these two deserve our attention. We hope you are as inspired by their interview as we were! Most importantly, what is your favorite cut of beef? Rare, medium, or well done? Ribeye for both of us! Medium rare for Jason, medium for Kari. How did you get started? What is your background? We both grew up with (at least one) parent working on a ranch. Jason worked for different ranches and Kari went to college to become an accountant. We were married after Kari graduated from college and she moved to the Burns area. Jason continued to work for a couple different ranches. We started our cow herd when Jason earned ten cows as a bonus from a ranch he worked for.
