2021 Regenerate Speakers
Weaving Water, Land, and PeopleRichard Kingsbury
Rick has over thirty years’ experience in the beef industry, with much of that focused on the Organic and Grass fed and finished beef business. Growing up on a small beef and dairy farm, cattle handling and good animal husbandry skills have come naturally. Although working in the construction, transportation and various fields as needed to raise his family, Rick has always come back to ranching and the sustainable cattle industry.
In 2003 to 2010 he owned and operated Pecos Valley Grass Fed Beef. Raising and marketing his own product. As well as working in and with many Processing plants to cut and package the very best product possible.
2010 to 2015 he was hired by Panorama Meats as Production Manager for the Rocky Mtn States and East. During his tenure, he added over 20 small to large organic, grass-fed producers to the roster. Contracting their cattle, scheduling for processing dates and transportation to processing facility and working with the plant to ensure quality product.
In the past couple years Rick was hired to take on the project of getting High Plains Processing in Las Vegas, NM opened and operating. That being accomplished he has just recently retired and plans on slowing down a bit and continuing his consulting work.
