Background: Donn grew up on a family farm in west central MN. He started farming as a freshman in HS and soon purchased his first commercial Herefords. As a sophomore he then purchased his first registered polled Herefords. In time, Donn exhibited many champions at several state fairs and even at the major shows such as Denver National Stock Show, American Royal and NAILE in Louisville. During the 80’s the family farming operation eventually grew to 4,200 tillable acres plus pasture and hay land.
In 1988, Donn felt a strong calling in his heart to full time ministry and after a season of prayer new in his heart it was time to disperse his herd and sell off his childhood dream and go to Bible school. In Aug. of 1989 Donn dispersed his herd with cattle selling into 19 states. A few weeks later Donn loaded up his wife and three kinds and went off to Bible College in ND. His love and passion for cattle ranchers and exhibitors and for the livestock industry is still very strong in his heart to this day. He is extremely excited about his new vision from the Lord for “HOPE FOR THE RANCHER” OUTREACH. You can read his story at: jibbenpolledherefords.com.
