Farm Family: The Jacksons
Who are the Jacksons?
Carman & Donna Jackson and their 5 daughters own and operate a diverse mixed farm at Inglis, MB.
Follow them:
What’s on your farm?
We have a cattle and grain farm. Our cattle operation involves 170 breeding females including Charolais – High Bluff Stock Farm and Simmental – EGC Simmental as well as a Simmental X Red Angus commercial herd.
We also grow wheat, oats, barley and canola. It’s a family affair. We farm with Carman’s parents as well as his brother.
Besides farming, what else do you like to do?
We enjoy as a family horseback riding, camping, downhill and cross country skiing, curling and dancing. Our kids all took Ukrainian dancing and participated in 4-H.
The girls are active 4th generation 4-Hers involved in beef. They are members of the Inglis 4-H Variety Club, where Carman is a beef leader.
What are you passionate about?
Family and farming. We love spending time with our daughters and sharing our love of the land, animals and the outdoors.
Be Well…Jenn
