A Working Ranch
To assist in the revegetation and reclamation effort, Rosemont Copper has established a 30,000 acre working cattle ranch about 30 miles south of Tucson, AZ. The ranching operation will be professionally managed by Tom Kay and he will oversee a herd of 500 to 550 beef cattle. The Rosemont ranch will have no dairy cows.
Rosemont will be using the latest in natural, non-confined ranching techniques . Rosemont cattle will be raised in enviromentally friendly conditions with no hormones, no antibiotics and they will be completely range fed.
TOM KAY, MANAGER OF RANCH OPERATIONS
Tom joined Rosemont Copper after operating his own ranch in the Four Corners region near Mesa Verde, Colorado for nearly 20 years. He is responsible for the daily operations of Rosemont, including property infrastructure care, ranch equipment maintenance and livestock oversight.
"You've got to love being a cowboy. You don't do it for the money. No day's the same when you're working with the cattle, fixing fences, fixing a truck, whatever needs to be done to keep the ranch running smoothly. I was involved back before a lot of the work that's been done in the region. We've got to have copper, so we might as well find ways for this to be a win-win for all involved. We need copper, but we don't need to tear everything up in the process. This is going to be a working ranch throughout. I respect their vision, their approach, their plans. I'm enthusiastic."
