Even after college and all three finding their own careers and starting their own families , Jack said his children continue to find a path to stay close to the ranch . Josh runs the AI program at the operation and Jace helps with the farming whenever he has a chance .
“ I knew I would find a way to make it back to the operation ,” Josh said . “ It ’ s been a long time coming in the fact that I knew I wanted to do that my whole life .”
Josh said since the moment he and his wife , Kayla , were married , he knew he wanted his own children to be raised in the same environment he was . Living less than a mile from the land where he was raised and Jack and Vicky still call home , Josh said this dream has become a reality .
While Jack enjoys each moment spent alongside his children , he said it ’ s the fourth generation of the family that really steals the show .
“ The most exciting part , besides watching my kids , is watching my grandkids ,” Jack explains . “ I think it ’ s important they learn that side of life and know they have that opportunity when they get older .”
Jack ’ s grandchildren are all under the age of three , but he said he is always in awe of the excitement they have for the agriculture industry .
Four generations of the Glendenning family have called J Bar J Ranch home , with Limousin being part of that equation since 1984 .
From time in the pasture to afternoons with him in the tractor , Jack never fails to enjoy the spark of excitement in his grandsons ’ eyes .
“ I wanted our boys to be involved in the ranch , and my dad has gone out of his way to keep them involved ,” Josh said . “ It reminds me of my grandpa and me when I was little .”
Since the time of those memories to now , Josh said he is proud of the changes the Limousin breed has undergone . When he was young , docility was a concern for the breed , but nowadays , both Jack and Josh express an immense trust in their livestock .
“ Now our cattle are all very calm ,” Jack explains . With an industry and personal focus on docility , Jack said he does not have to worry when his grandchildren are out with the cattle .
The view of his children walking alongside Jack in the pasture instills a sense of pride in Josh , and he said he is excited to watch what this generation will do for the ranch and the industry as a whole .
“ It ’ s cool to see it all come 360 ,” Josh adds . From the time when his own grandparents started J Bar J Ranch to now , Josh says the Glendenning ’ s family has truly come full circle .
