Patricia Selbert on Regenerative Ranching

Santa Barbara local Patricia Selbert is something of a Renaissance woman: world citizen, internationally-competitive equestrian, award-winning author, PhD in somatics, and most recently - cattle rancher. Patricia co-founded and co-runs Las Cumbres Ranch in Santa Barbara County, a farm that upends almost all of our assumptions about what meat production and its connection to the greater environment can look like. Drawing from the same holistic management practices that Stacy uses, Patricia and her team raise a unique type of South African cattle - pedigree Bonsmara - particularly fit for dry grasslands. The goal is not only to sustain California’s environment amidst the climate crisis, but to restore it acre by acre, cow by cow. Tune in to hear more about Patricia’s global upbringing, the climate effects of corporate farming, and Patricia’s take on all the latest developments in ‘Big Beef.’
