The Perry Family has been a proud agriculture producer in Routt County for five generations. In 1911, Winfield Scott Perry homesteaded in Toponas, Colorado, purchasing water rights in 1913.  The ranch grew spinach and lettuce in the early days, and later, oats and a mix of Timothy & Red Clover hay. English Herefords were the family's choice cattle breed, and Junior Perry developed a special relationship with a Canadian rancher, from whom he purchased his bulls. The remaining part of the original ranch now raises hay and has a grazing lease. Generations of Perrys have contributed generously to worthwhile community endeavors. Winfield Scott and his son, Ote, helped establish and build the Toponas Community Hall. They also had lively baseball games at the ranch on "ball diamond hill" and hosted the first Toponas Roping Club until the mid 1950s when the club moved to the current location at the roping arena between Toponas and Yampa. Junior's wife, Mary Jean King Perry, was a force for volunteerism. She started the South Routt Library District by building her own little hillside library on the family's ranch headquarters in 1978. She volunteered for multiple organizations, including her over 40 years of service with Yampa Valley Electric Association. Her son, Chuck Perry, later served on the board after her retirement. The Perry family are honored to be Centennial Farm and Ranch landowners and are dedicated to the preservation of Colorado’s rural western heritage.
