The Regenerative Revolution: How Raised Wild Texas is Redefining Ranching

In this episode of Everyday Ancestral, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Barron Kidd and Ricky Langer, the visionaries behind Raised Wild Texas. Barron took the helm of his family’s ranch in 2019, determined to transform a struggling conventional operation into a thriving regenerative farm. With Ricky’s hands-on expertise and a commitment to restoring natural systems, they’ve eliminated synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and hormones, letting the land guide their practices. The result? A balanced ecosystem, healthier cattle, and nutrient-dense beef with a flavor that’s second to none.

Barron and Ricky share their inspiring journey of embracing a holistic approach to ranching, from the financial realities that drove their shift to the deeper connection they’ve forged with the land. They explain why regenerative farming is about more than just cattle—it’s about reviving ecosystems, supporting communities, and rethinking our relationship with food. Whether you’re curious about sustainable agriculture or looking for ways to nourish your family more intentionally, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical wisdom.
