That means, if the 3rd war was WoW 20-21 (Reign of Chaos/Frozen Throne), they could easily have already been working for Westfall Farmers - particularly if her parents were part of the Alliance engineers in the 2nd war, and retired to a "less chaotic" life, putting them far away from Gnomeregan at its irradiation. The area around Stormwind lay in waste after the 2nd war, so a contingent of farmers (and engineers perhaps?) have tried to reclaim it after the destruction of the Orcs - even in the face of the Defias.

Remember that the current year in WoW is 30, and the second war ended in year 6. To fix a mistake that I had made regarding the timing of her story, the second war (and thus the gnomeregan exodus) occurred the following year, meaning that her family would have emigrated to ironforge first, before starting any annual trip down to Westfall. Assuming Annie Mae is about 35-40 years old, your family would have had started working with Westfall farmers right after the second war, making Annie 10-14 years old when she started doing the cowgirl thing.
