From the Pasture with Hired Hand

From a Tim McGraw Concert to JT Longhorns: Janice & Travis Pell’s Michigan Story

Hired Hand Website Software Season 5 Episode 66

In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, we visit with Janice and Travis Pell of JT Longhorns in Fremont, Michigan. Hear how a Tim McGraw concert in Texas sparked an unforgettable idea that led them to start their own Longhorn herd—and how that single night reshaped their family’s future.

Janice and Travis share what it’s like to build a program as newer Longhorn breeders, balancing ranch life on their homestead with raising three daughters—Elsie, Averie, and Macie Lou. We talk about their focus on quality, sound livestock, the community they’ve found in the industry, and how they’ve expanded into selling Longhorn beef while growing a herd they truly love.

If you’re just getting started—or need a reminder that big dreams can come from unexpected places—this story from JT Longhorns will hit home.
