Stephen J. “Tio” Kleberg began working on the ranch when he was just nine years old. By the time he was 11, Kleberg was riding with the vaqueros. An aunt raised his ire when she told him he’d better learn to be more than “just a cowboy.” Tio took great offense, as he thought his aunt was disparaging his dream.

It took maturity and experience for Kleberg to recognize the intricate connection between the land, the cattle, the horses, the wildlife, the grasses, the water, the ecosystem and the business—and to understand what his wise aunt meant.

“She knew that managing a ranch well in the present—and for the future—took a lot more than riding horses and working cattle every day,” Kleberg said.

From his father, through legacy and by example, Kleberg learned what, perhaps, was his most important lesson: the land and the people who work it are an indivisible unit.

Upon his father’s death in 1979, Tio managed the King Ranch South Texas agricultural enterprises and later served as Vice President of King Ranch Agri-Business, managing all agricultural enterprises in Texas, Arizona and Florida, as well as the international operations in Brazil through 1998. Tio serves on the King Ranch Board of Directors and is past president of the American Quarter Horse Association. He currently serves as Chairman of the Caesar Kleberg Foundation for Wildlife Conservation and Vice-Chairman for TAMUK Foundation. Tio graduated from Texas Military Institute in 1964; received his B.S. in Animal Science from Texas Tech University in 1969, and received a U.S. Distinguished Service Medal from the United States Army in 1971.

Land is nothing but a piece of dirt. You—and the people who work alongside you—make the difference.
