John Lee Njos |
John Lee ranches with his wife, Ellen, and they have five children, Chad, Krista, Angela, Johanna and Ben. He was raised on a ranch just a few miles from his current ranch, which he purchased in 1973. He runs the ranch with his wife and daughter, Angela. |
The Njos family realized early they needed a change in management strategies to ensure the future of their ranch, and it was important to be good managers of natural resources and matching livestock to the resources. The benefits of the holistic management of the Njos Ranch include increased grass production, diversity of grass species, better water infiltration, less runoff, more litter, increased wildlife numbers and more pounds of beef per acre. The biggest improvement has been the net return through proper grass management. John Lee and Ellen strive for low input costs and working with nature to turn over a successful, sustainable ranch to the next generation. The Njos family enjoys seeing their grandkids excited about ranching, increased wildlife population and the future.
