Bruce & Lynn started Rinkes Cattle Co. in 1980, with a single female. The operation has since grown into a cowherd of 275 cows, 1000 acres of row crop, 800 acres of hay, and over 3500 acres of pasture. Bruce handles a lot of the day-to-day operation, as well as checking cattle health during the summer months. Lynn keeps the paperwork up to date, as well as runs Holton Meat Processing where we get to see the end product of our genetics!

Before returning to the farm full time in 2010 Brandon attended Kansas State University and received a degree in food science.  Now Brandon is in charge of herd health & nutrition and assists in genetic decisions within the breeding program.

Justin has been a part of the operation his entire life. Upon completion of high school in the year 2000, he attended Dodge City Community College for one year before returning to the farm full time. Justin handles the day to day feeding, and is the crop production manager.
