Jerry Adams: Shaping the Future of Cattle Production

Jerry Adams, a name synonymous with innovation, commitment, and cattle expertise, has been a driving force behind the remarkable growth and success of Adams Land & Cattle. Hailing from the picturesque town of Broken Bow, Nebraska, Jerry's journey in agriculture began early, and his unwavering passion for cattle became the cornerstone of his life's work.

Roots of Dedication

Growing up in Broken Bow, Jerry Adams was immersed in the world of agriculture from a young age. His love for cattle and a strong work ethic led him to learn the ropes of the trade, from milking cows to caring for calves. Little did he know that these early experiences would lay the foundation for a thriving career in the industry.

Building a Legacy

In 1972, the Adams' operation was a modest one, with just five employees, 5,000 calves, and 3,000 acres of farmland. However, Jerry, alongside his brother Bill, possessed a vision for growth that would transform their operation into what it is today.

Through their dedication and hard work, Adams Land & Cattle has emerged as an industry leader with a finishing capacity of 125,000 head and a backgrounding network that spans over 85 locations, totaling up to 100,000 head. Their journey didn't stop at scale; it extended into the realm of research and technology, making Adams a pioneer in data-driven cattle production.

He and his wife, Linda, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last year, a testament to the strength of their bond. Their family includes three children – Amy, Melissa, and Scott – and seven cherished grandchildren, who undoubtedly share in Jerry's passion for agriculture.
