Caitlin grew up on large-scale cow/calf ranches in west Texas and southeastern New Mexico before completing a bachelor’s degree from West Texas A&M University, followed by a master’s degree in ruminant nutrition from New Mexico State University. After graduation, Caitlin worked at Noble Research Institute for 6 years as a grazing livestock and regenerative ranching advisor. There, she consulted ranchers on livestock, grazing, and general ranch management through the lens of reducing reliance on inputs and creating resiliency within their operations. Caitlin attended the Ranching for Profit school for the first time in 2021 and was immediately captivated by the systems approach to management, and the way traditionally intimidating or convoluted concepts were simplified and made easy to both navigate and apply. She has a passion for both learning and teaching, having completed Understanding Ag, Soil Health Academy, HMI, and Savory trainings, in addition to completing the KRIRM Texas Farm Credit Advanced Ranch Management certificate. Caitlin and husband Kenny reside in south-central Oklahoma with their son, Lucas, and enjoy spending their free time hunting with their dogs, on the lake or the coast, or frequenting the show barn.
