Penny McPherson, Fremont County CattleWomen

Penny McPherson grew up in Cheyenne County in Eastern Colorado where her family raised Hereford cattle and Bison, so she is committed to the agriculture way of life. After retirement, Penny moved to Canon City and became a member of Fremont County Cattlewomen in 2019. She immediately became an active member in Fremont County’s efforts to promote and educate their community about beef. For example, Penny has stuffed and handed out to the public 100’s of beef bags with educational material at local grocery stores and farm stores. She has cooked and served countless meals at fundraising and support events such as the Sr. Mini College and 4-H Cleanup day prior to Fremont County Fair.

She currently serves as the treasurer and is always willing to participate in local and state functions. She has attended both Colorado Cattlewomen Region V and State CattleWomen Convention meetings.

Penny has a long history of community involvement that includes being on the Board of Directors of the Friends of Royal Gorge Regional Museum.

The Fremont County Cattlewomen wrote, “Penny can be counted on to complete any job she has taken on in a professional and timely manner. When Fremont County Cattlewomen are doing an event, everyone says who is going to do it? The stock answer is Penny. She is the type of member that every organization wants to have.”
