2021 Cattlewoman of the Year - Terri Parker

The 2021 Georgia CattleWoman of the Year felt a desire and need to start a chapter in her area several years ago. She was so passionate about getting the ladies more involved in the cattle industry. So, she took that big step and called the GCA Office and Michelle directed her to one of the cattlewomen to learn more about the association.  The rest is history as she gathered several ladies together and they formed the Jackson County CattleWomen’s Chapter.

Terri Parker was determined to become more involved, so she attended the GCWA meeting in Perry and before she knew it, she was elected to serve on the board. Terri has moved up to Vice President and will serve as 2021 GCWA President.

Back home in Jackson County, she has stayed busy assisting with FFA and 4-H livestock projects and cattlemen’s programs. She has spoken at meeting and schools about the importance of the beef industry and agriculture. She is a FFA Georgia and National Alumni member and has served on their local alumni board as secretary and treasurer and assists with the local activities.

Within her community, she has coached many basketball and softball teams as she is convinced that these programs help shape a child’s life. Terri is an avid Bulldog fan. She has worked in the medical field for years and has volunteered with many local outreach programs.

Terri and Lamar Parker love the farm life and have enjoyed raising their family on their farm. Congratulations to Terri Parker for being selected as 2021 CattleWoman of the Year.
