The 105th Weld County Fair’s Junior Livestock Sale raised a total of $1,784,000! 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 2022 record-breaking sale, which brought
in $1,564,000.

“These youth have put numerous hours of commitment into preparing themselves and their animals for this sale,” said Commissioner Chair Mike Freeman. “We are very proud of these youth, and we appreciate the steadfast support of their families and community members.”

This year’s sale took place on July 31, 2023, and drew 330 buyers. More than 600 people attended the sale in-person.
