4B Farms and J&B Kennels

Who We Are

4B Farms consists of Dan, Carol, Wade and Shayna Buck, several dogs, a bunch horses, and too many cats to count.  Soon we hope to add a few calves and some Boar goats just to add to the fun!

We were fortunate enough to find this farm of 160 acres in Grinnell, Kansas in 2005 during Dan's travels delivering seed.  It was exactly what we had been trying to find for years.

We have lived our entire lives in Eastern Nebraska and it was a huge leap of faith to move so far from everyone and everything we have always known.  We were incredibly fortunate however to move into a community of people that have welcomed us with open arms and have become more than just friends, they have become like family to us.  We could not ask for better neighbors or a better community to become a part of.

For Dan, buying this farm was going back to his boyhood roots where he raised and sold feeder pigs and farmed.  I on the other hand grew up in town and always longed to be on the farm, so I am finally here.  At long last, we can have our horses on our own property instead of having to keep them on property owned by someone else.

Wade & Shayna are both involved in 4H and school activities as well as helping with chores.  Wade is busy training his 3 year old gelding and getting him prepared for show season.  He is an excellent horseman and has the makings of a true “horse whisperer”.  It is amazing how well he communicates with even the orneriest horse.

Shayna can usually be found with the kittens but she also enjoys taking the dogs on their daily run while she rides her bike.  She will soon be helping me train her 2 year old filly and preparing her for her first ride.  Shayna can’t wait to get Tiff ready to go roping; she throws a fine loop for a 7 year old!

Our Business

Dan and I are entrepreneurs and have owned our own businesses for 16 years.  We started Dan Buck Transportation in 1992 and we still own and operate one semi and a walking floor trailer hauling seed, feed, and wood byproducts.  We sold a car wash that we had purchased from my parents in order to buy the farm in Grinnell.  We were representatives for a communication company for several years and are currently distributors for Mia Bella Gourmet candles.  We keep busy with the trucking business, the candle business, the farm, and our horse operation, and raising our dogs, but we love every minute of it.

We hope to continue to build all of our businesses with the help of our fantastic customers.
