Texas Slim: The Man Behind the Beef Initiative
The Beef Initiative
Twitter: @modernTman
Texas Slim, born and raised in Canyon, Texas, is a man on a mission to bring back the lifeblood to small towns and communities through his Beef Initiative. With the immense popularity of the television series "Yellowstone" and its spin-offs, Slim believes that now is the perfect time to educate people about beef and ranching.
Growing up in an area rich in history, Slim was exposed to West Texas culture and lore from a young age. After a career as a research analyst in telecommunications and a health crisis that led him to an animal protein diet, he set out on a mission to restore the lifeblood to small towns that have become hollow shells of once-vibrant communities.
Slim believes that the decline of small towns began in the 1970s when small beef processors were either bought out or eliminated through regulatory capture, creating a behemoth monopoly that suffocates ranching today. He founded the Beef Initiative to combat this issue, working with ranchers to build microprocessing plants that allow them to sell their produce locally.
Under the Beef Initiative, cattle are grown on regeneratively managed pasture and sold directly to consumers. The initiative also provides good jobs that support the local economy. Slim believes that the multinational food system will not change until the consumer changes their demand for pure, nutritional food.
Slim also helps to host food intelligence summits at various ranches around the world to promote the importance of sustainability and health in the beef industry. Through partnerships with ranches like K&C Cattle and Hometown Meats, Slim is working to bring the best beef in the world back to local communities. The Beef Initiative is the voice of the Great American Rancher, and Slim believes it's time for them to stand against the prohibition of their heritage, legacy, and proof of work.
Texas Slim is more than just a businessman; he's a man with a mission to save lives. He believes that the time is right to rebuild communities with the "source of the seed of the solution." With the Beef Initiative, Slim is paving the way for a new model based on the effectiveness of the old model, an alternative to Big Ag.
