“The food we eat reveals how we are taking care of ourselves, and the food we choose to buy shows how we are taking care of our land, our farmers, and our future.”

Barron kidd - raised wild texas

Barron's mission is simple: “To raise cattle the way they did 200 years ago.”

Raised Wild Texas was born from a vision to provide beef like it was raised two centuries ago.

“Forage and water,” as Barron puts it.

Unlike other ranches that use quick-fix feeds or chemicals, Raised Wild Texas cattle get just what nature intended.

Their approach contrasts sharply with commercial operations: while many cattle ranches focus on speed, Raised Wild Texas lets the cattle—and nature—dictate the rhythm. It’s regenerative, sustainable, and, most importantly, it produces the kind of meat they believe cattle are supposed to give.

Barron jokes that ranch life is all about patience and grit. “It’s really hot, really cold, but always awesome,” he says, capturing the love-hate relationship that comes with working so closely with nature.

The ranch has seen its fair share of extreme weather—a record flood, a deep freeze, and a drought all within 18 months—but it’s still standing, and the team at Raised Wild wouldn’t trade the lifestyle for anything.

By choosing Raised Wild Texas, you’re becoming part of a story that values sustainability, nature, and, above all, relationships.
