Historical Note
Jerry Palen (1943-2021) was born in Paris, Tennessee, on July 9, 1943. He moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming with his parents at the end of the Second World War where his father worked as a large animal veterinarian for 32 years, thus giving Palen extensive experience around Wyoming agriculture. He received his B.A. in political science and economics from the University of Wyoming in 1969. Jerry and his wife, Ann, together with their sons, owned a Wyoming ranch for several years, and eventually operated the Saratoga Publishing Group. Palen is best known for his cartoon series “Stampede”, which was the largest syndicated cartoon feature in the agriculture sectors of both the United States and Canada.
