Alejandro Carrillo
Rancher
Alejandro Carrillo is a fourth-generation rancher who owns and operates The Las Damas Ranch in Aldama County, Chihuahua, Mexico. His ranch is located in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert, about 250 miles due south of El Paso, Texas, and he raises grass-fed cattle in an area where it rarely receives more than an average of 9 inches of rain per year. The ongoing drought conditions that Alejandro faced motivated him to look for better ways of managing arid landscapes and grazing operations. After 20 years into his journey of regenerative ranching practices, Alejandro's ranch now carries three times more cattle on a per-acre basis than other neighboring ranches, while also significantly lowering his input costs and increasing the biodiversity of plants, animals, and birds on his ranch. He also works closely with Mexican and U.S. organizations to protect migratory birds.
Alejandro's ranch has been part of multiple documentaries and studies focused on regenerative ranching such as Sacred Cow, To Which We Belong, Water in Plain Sight, and Common Ground.
Alejandro assists other ranchers and institutions on understanding and implementing regenerative ranching practices across the Western U.S and in South America. He also participates as a delegate to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in multiple countries.
