Crystal Blin

JJB Cattle Company
Independence, IA

Crystal and her husband founded JJB Cattle Company, a purebred Hereford and crop farm. The couple raises cattle, marketing them mostly to kids in 4-H and FFA looking to get into the show cattle industry. This FarmHer also has a great passion for beauty products and shares with other women in agriculture through her beauty swap blog, which she launched a few years ago, CrystalCattle.blogspot.com. For Crystal, it’s her way of sharing her passion for beauty products and connecting with other women her age.

Crystal and Jon go back and forth about their cattle names, always keeping them unique. Jon loves Kanye West, so his names usually come from rap songs. Crystal loves lipstick, so her names usually stem from her favorite shades. But it’s clear they love what they do and have found a partnership that really works.
