Yetta Bidegain Obituary
Yetta graduated from Tucumcari High School in 1943. She attended the University of Arizona where she met Phillip Bidegain studying agriculture. Yetta graduated with a BS in Animal Husbandry. They married on April 9, 1948, and made their home in Montoya on the T4 Cattle Company. Yetta and Phillip had two children and in 1952 took over management of the T4. She was a loving and involved mother and a true partner with Phillip, making management decisions, keeping records of registered cows and horses and cooking for the "crew" during branding and weaning seasons. Yetta officially retired after Phillip's passing in 2016, having led T4 for nearly 64 years.
Throughout Yetta's life, she was very active in the community, taking on leadership roles in organizations including the NM Cattlegrowers, Wagonwheel Cowbelles (President), Tucumcari Historical Society and Museum, Mesa Country Club, the Farm and Ranch Heritage Center, and the Quay County Arts and Humanity Council. She directly supported the Quay County Fair, 4H programs, and Boys and Girls Ranches. Yetta created numerous agricultural scholarships at local and state colleges.
Yetta is survived by her daughter; Yetta Julee Coffman, son; Phillip (Laurie) Howard Bidegain, grandsons; Donnie (Lacey) Bidegain, Scott (Brooke) Bidegain, Louis (Sara) Carman, Dana Coffman, six great-grandchildren; Haylie, Blake, Connor, Addison, Kiptyn, and Tenli.
