YETI Co-Founder Linked to Border Wall

YETI co-founder Ryan Seiders is tangled in controversy after his West Texas ranch, the Moody Bennett Ranch, became a key site for the controversial 30-foot border wall in Big Bend. Despite YETI’s outdoor and conservation branding, the ranch is now being used by construction firm Barnard to source materials and house workers, sparking backlash from locals who fear irreversible damage to wildlife, night skies, and the local economy. Seiders, who owns part of the ranch through an LLC formed in 2023, has reportedly entered into voluntary agreements with Customs and Border Protection, as construction is set to begin this summer or fall. The ranch, listed for $5.7 million and rich in border frontage and water resources, highlights the clash between corporate image and real-world land use.
