The Thurston County Cattlewomen have been long-time supporters of the beef industry and youth in agriculture in Thurston County. 

I always look forward to the monthly meetings with this group of kind and generous women. Many of them know me from my days as a 4-H kid, spending summers with our Scatter Creek 4-H club at the Thurston County Fair. And I love catching up with other moms who have kids the same age as mine. We often see each other at all the same agriculture meetings, and I know that I can always get an answer to any question I might have because this group is just as generous with their time as they are with their expertise.

Much of the work the Thurston County Cattlewomen do is in support of youth in agriculture. Every year, the group pays for prizes for the kids who participate in beef 4-H events at the Thurston County Fair. The group also donates books about agriculture to local elementary schools to support agriculture literacy, and offers scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

Like many moms and women everywhere, the Thurston County Cattlewomen often work tirelessly and quietly behind the scenes to make the community better. I was lucky to be the recipient of their time and attention when I was a kid, so I know first-hand the difference it makes. 

If you would like to support the Thurston County Cattlewomen's charitable programs, you can do so by purchasing some of our specially-roasted coffee. All proceeds from our Moo Brew and Decalf (get it?) Blend Coffee will go towards food bank donations and youth scholarships. Order online and schedule your pickup at checkout.

A Conservation Legend

Over the past 20 years, we've worked closely with Marty Chaney, a pasture management specialist with NRCS, on the implementation of our grazing plans. I don't know whether it was by luck or chance that we ended up with Marty in our corner of the field, but it was certainly our good fortune.

Conservation Grazing At Violet Prairie

Since I was nine years old, I would look out my bedroom window every morning and dream about grazing cattle on the hill across from the ranch, on land that was originally part of our family's historic homestead in the 1850s. Today, that land is part of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Violet Prairie Unit, and I'm grateful to be working with them to help restore the native prairie here using conservation grazing with our cattle as a management tool.

Resources for Ranchers

If you're want to learn more about ranching in Southwest Washington, there are a lot of really great resources available to help. We have a pretty great ranching community here with people who care a lot about the work, and we'd love to see more folks get involved!
