Hello, I
am Elena Farr. I was born and raised near the little town of
Cubero, NM. I graduated from Grants HS and attended NMSU, where I
received a B.S. degree in Animal and Range Science. While going to school, I met Roy Farr, and we married after I graduated. We have two great kids, Dana, who is 14 and attends 8th grade in Quemado, and Sam, who is 11 and attends 5th grade at Datil Elementary. We all work together year round to run the family ranch, along with Roy's parents. In our free time, Roy and I enjoy team roping and taking the kids to rodeos. I've lived in Catron County for almost twenty years since marrying Roy, and I'm proud to call this beautiful area home. I've been on the School Board since Dana entered kindergarten 9 years ago, and I am thrilled to be a part of our GREAT school district. We've come a long way in the past few years, and we are always looking ahead toward continued improvement!! |
