Babbitt Ranches: Lighting a Match, Igniting a Passion with Billy Cordasco
Babbitt Ranches President and General Manager Billy Cordacso tells the story of how two of the original Arizona Babbitt brothers camped out on the San Francisco Peaks and awoke to a chilly spring morning as they were about to embark on an exciting future in cattle ranching. With only one match left to light a fire, Cordasco talks about the symbolism of lighting a match, igniting a passion and "letting it rip." He compared that moment of excitement, accountability and anticipation in 1886 with today's journey into renewable energy during an Oct. 10, 2023 meeting with the Western CO Bar Legacy Conservation Community.
