- Episode 8 - A Conversation with David Kitner - June 22, 2023 - David Kitner has been involved in ranch management for over 40 years. Since his arrival at Killam Ranch in 2001, he has made many changes. What once was an over-stocked, over-grazed, over-hunted ranch has been transformed by his management. His strong work ethic and honest, principled business practices have earned him recognition around the state as an excellent ranch manager and individual. He has an extensive background in both wildlife and cattle management, as well as range management, which he has put to good use. The ranch was awarded the Lone Star Land Steward Award in 2010, and David was named the Outstanding Conservation Rancher in 2012 for San Patricio County.
