Less than a year after collecting his
#animalscience master’s degree from
#NCStateCALS, Kyle Mayberry (KJMayberry) is livestock director at the historic BiltmoreEstate, a top
#NorthCarolina tourist attraction and site of the largest private home in the
#UnitedStates.
.
Mayberry and his staff oversee about 600 head of
#cattle and about 250 purebred
#sheep on the estate’s 8,000 acres.
.
Mayberry’s commission is to guide the
#livestock operation into a sustainable future, but he also plays a key role in preserving its
#historic past. Where most operations have the luxury of demolishing and rebuilding aging structures, Mayberry and his crew must take a more creative path.
.
We find new ways of revitalizing and reusing original structures. I get to see these older structures come to life and evolve as the industry evolves. — Kyle Mayberry
