Our Story


 

Jeff Conrad

 Hey, My name is Jeff Conrad and I was born and raised in Corydon, IN by hardworking, supportive parents. I am the youngest of 4 brothers, loved to play basketball during my high school years and helped out on the family farm. I knew very early in life I had a passion for farming but couldn’t quite pin down exactly what kind of farming I loved yet. I stayed working for the family farm after high school and loved it but knew I wanted to work specifically with animals. After meeting Amanda and making regular trips to visit her at Purdue, she helped me see where my passion lies. I’m so glad she decided to move to Corydon, IN! After she moved here, it was her support that pushed me to pursue my passion in animal farming, and J&A Cattle was born. I am so grateful for the work I get to do everyday. It’s challenging, rewarding, and completely worth it. 

Amanda Conrad

Hey Guys! My name is Amanda Conrad! I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana with a brother and sister. I have always been active and interested in health. I played soccer in high school and traveled statewide for years with my parents. I decided to attend Purdue University Pharmacy School in 2009 and I was introduced to Jeff through a friend I met at school. We maintained a long distance relationship while I was in school and I made the tough decision to leave my hometown and move to Corydon, IN. Of course I miss my family, but I’m so glad I made the move. I absolutely love my pharmacy career here in southern IN and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I help out when I can with J&A Cattle company and I have learned SO MUCH about farming, livestock, and so much more!
