Only 36% of 3.4 million farmers in the U.S. are women. As small farm and livestock operations struggle to survive, there hasn’t always been a lot of space for women to forge careers in the male-dominated industry. But these girls want to change that.

“Anecdotally, we’ve seen more engaged females in leadership roles in particular,” said Taylor Szilagyi, spokesperson for the Colorado Farm Bureau. She pointed to Janie VanWinkle, past president of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, and Connie Hass, past winner of the Denver Business Journal’s Who’s Who in Agriculture Trailblazer Award, as examples.When VanWinkle filled that role in 2020 and 2021, she counted as the third woman in the 154 years of the organization to serve as president.

Around 40 years ago, VanWinkle and her husband built their business with 20 head of cattle and 20 sheep. Now, at VanWinkle Ranch, they’re managing about 550 head of cattle. The couple’s son recently returned to the ranch with his wife and 10-month-old daughter, who will be raised there. “I want her to know that, no matter where she goes, she can always come back.”
