About Us

Here is our chance to do a short introduction to each on of us.  We are currently located in the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota.

Jacob & Kristine were married December 27, 2003.  We lived in Anchorage, Alaska on Elmendorf AFB until the Fall of 2005.  Jake then received orders to Scott AFB in Illinois.  We lived in IL on a small hobby farm of our own until August 2009 when we moved to North Dakota.  On September 11, 2006, we welcomed a new addition to our family, Abigail...and a second baby on April 22, 2008, Adam!...our 3rd addition on August 16, 2010, Katy!...and our 4th on July 2, 2012, Kyle!

Meet Jacob

Jacob enjoys motorcycling, horseback riding, hunting, trapping, fishing, skiing, biking, hiking, whitewater rafting, and a few other things. He is currently an E-6 (Tech Sergeant) in the United States Air Force.  While that is his day job, his enjoyment comes from all of the ranching activities at home - and that is where all of his spare time goes!

Meet Kristine

Kristine enjoys just about anything she can find time to do!  Hunting, fishing, hiking, riding/working horses, gardening, sewing, doing the 'homesteading' sort of thing...and most of all, being a Wife & Mom to her growing family!  Kristine does the paperwork side Ryun Livestock and does web design and maintenance - both of which she enjoys and both of which allow her to stay at home with the kids!  She is also a dac horse vitamin and mineral dealer.

 

         Meet Abigail

            Abigail was born September 11, 2006 at 0558 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital.  She weighed 8lbs 13oz and was 21 1/2" long!  Abby is such a busy girl - always asking questions and always bossing Adam around.  She is a great big sister to Adam and such a joy to the family.  She is as animal crazy as her mom and growing up way to fast.  Quite a little daredevil, too!  There isn't much, if anything that scares her.    She's a tomboy!

  Meet Adam

 

           Adam was born April 22, 2008 at 0944 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital.  He weighed 7lbs, 7oz and was 22" long.  Adam is in constant motion it seems.  He loves playing with his tractors and carries around about any animal he can get his hands on.  He is a huge fan of his big sister and they are typically partners in crime.  He is a very loving little boy, though, and always ready to give hugs and kisses...and sometimes head butts...but, he's a boy - what else would you expect?!

Meet Katy

 

Kaitlyn Ann Ryun arrived on August 16, 2010 weighing 7lbs 1.7oz and 19" long.  She is a very happy baby and loves to play and be in on the action.  I think she can't wait to be able to keep up with Abby and Adam - but I sure can!

Meet Kyle

Kyle Richard Ryun arrived on July 2, 2012 weighing 7lbs 15 oz and 21 3/4" long.  He has been a handful from day one...but such a fun kid.  There isn't anything he won't think of and is always busy.
