ANCW Region IV

Hello, I’m Linda Thorman. I reside with my husband of 38 years, Glenn, in Archer County, Texas, which is south of Wichita Falls. I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity my entire life to be involved in the cattle industry. Growing up, I spent a tremendous amount of time with my grandparents on their farm where they had a commercial cow/calf operation along with harvesting wheat and hay. My parents had a grocery store and butcher shop, so as I got older, trained by my dad, I worked in the meat market, keeping the meat counter full of select cuts of beef. Then came love, marriage and raising a family with three children on the ranch where my husband grew up. I say he actually starting courting me when I was 8 and he was 12, giving me buggy rides pulled by his little pony which he won in a calf scramble. We raise registered black Angus cattle, selling heifers and bulls for breeding.

I’m involved with the Wichita Falls Area CattleWomen, having served as secretary, vice president and president. I have served Texas CattleWomen as secretary, vice president, president-elect, and presently serve as president. Over the past year, I have truly enjoyed serving ANCW as Region IV Director.

I have a Bachelor of Music Education Degree, with a concentration in organ and a minor in voice from Midwestern State University. I’m truly blessed to be serving as organist and choir director at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Wichita Falls, having just celebrated my 50th anniversary! I also serve the parish as Director of Christian Growth.

My pass time is spent enjoying time with my family, especially my grandchildren! A daily priority is watching the sun rise and set, enjoying the beauty of each one!
