Colorado State Fair
Pueblo, Colo. —The 2021 Grand Champion Market Beef was sold for $55,000 at the 2021 Colorado’s Electric Cooperatives Junior Livestock Sale at the Colorado State Fair. The animal was raised by Joslyn King of Cope, Colorado and purchased by the Sam Brown family of Pueblo. More than $578,000 was raised in the auction of 143 animals raised and shown by young people from across Colorado. All youth exhibitors who participated were required to keep a detailed record book of their animal project while learning responsibility, leadership, showmanship, and best animal care practices. “It has been such a pleasure to see the kids and the audience for the Colorado State Fair Junior Livestock Sale back in our building this year,” said Colorado State Fair General Manager Scott Stoller. “As in years past, this auction really shows off the hard work and dedication Colorado youth have to their animals and to safeguarding our state’s agricultural future. We’re also grateful for the generosity of the philanthropists who recognize the commitment these amazing
kids have made to participate in an event like this.” The junior livestock sale is instrumental in supporting the future of Colorado’s agribusiness, as it demonstrates the importance of raising quality livestock and the work required of those who pursue careers in agriculture. The Grand and Reserve Grand Champions are listed below. A complete list of all winners will be posted on the Colorado State Fair website.
