Grand Champion Market Beef Cow with owner Cal Sidwell at 104th Weld County Fair Jr. Livestock Sale

The 104th Weld County Fair’s Junior Livestock Sale raised a total of $1,564,000! This includes the sale of animals and supporter’s individual contributions — also called “add-ons, which is money added onto the sale of any animal. This year’s sale surpassed the 2021 record-breaking sale, which brought in $1,355,000.

“These youth have put countless hours of dedication into preparing themselves and their animals for the Weld County Fair sale,” said Commissioner Chair Scott James. “Our Junior Livestock Sale setting a new record serves as evidence that these kids work hard year-round to raise quality animals. We are very proud of these youth, and we appreciate the unwavering support of their families and community members.”

This year’s sale took place on Aug. 1, 2022, and drew 335 buyers. More than 400 people attended the sale in-person and approximately 75 people watched and participated via the livestream.
