2024 CattleWoman of the Year: Sue Krentz

^{Our CattleWoman of the Year for 2024, is Sue Krentz. She has actively served in many organizations promoting the cattle industry. These organizations include American National Cattle Women, Arizona State Cowbelles, The Cowbelles, Arizona Cattle Growers, and Cochise-Graham County Cattle Growers. Sue has held many leadership positions and is a past president of Arizona State Cowbelles.}

^{She brings passion, enthusiasm and motivation to all groups she has been a part of. In addition to her work supporting the beef industry, she also serves as an active member in her local church. She has been a facilitator for political views about ranching in the Douglas area, New Mexico and Arizona. Sue has testified numerous times at the Arizona State Legislature. 
Additionally she is a graduate of the Arizona Center for Rural Leadership, Project Centrl program.} 

^{Ranching has been a defining aspect of her life and continues to be today. Sue’s family has been ranching in Douglas, AZ since 1921 and she continues to play an active role in the ranch. 
In 2008 the Krentz Family was inducted into the Arizona Farming and Ranching Hall of Fame. This amazing woman has faced tremendous adversity in her life but she has been resilient. She was married to her husband for 32 years before losing him tragically in 2010 at the hands of an illegal immigrant crossing the border near their ranch. This loss continues to be a reminder of how important the work she does to fight for border security is. She is a wife, mother, and grandmother who sets a remarkable example for all those around her.  We are so thrilled that Susan Kimble Krentz as this year's Cattlewoman of the Year!}
