Our Story
Gerald and Mairead Mackle are seasoned entrepreneurs who have spent decades building impactful, values-driven businesses. Gerald, with a strong background in agricultural innovation and renewable energy, invested in a ranch in Kingsbury, Texas in the 1990s, envisioning a more sustainable future for farming. At the same time, Mairead established Tarasis Enterprises, leading transformative initiatives across housing, health, and social care. Together, they embody a belief that business can be a force for good, guided by family values and a spirit of innovation. Their latest venture—Kingsbury —reflects this ethos: developing the world’s best premium Irish beef, produced at net carbon zero through renewable energy and a circular model that repurposes agricultural waste. With carefully selected genetics and a strict feeding programme, Kingsbury beef is highly marbled, rich in healthy omega-3s, and a true example of innovation at its finest.
Through years of research, collaboration and practical experience, Gerald and Mairead have built a close-knit team committed to producing exceptional Wagyu beef.
Alongside the next generation of the family, including Luke, the business continues to combine innovation with traditional farming values, ensuring Kingsbury Farms continues to set the standard for quality, animal welfare and sustainability.
