On a warm day in an otherwise blustery and cold January 1906, the first “Western Live Stock Show” opened in Denver under a circus tent. The event welcomed thousands of stockmen from all across the American West to show-off their animals, trade stock and encourage a meatpacking center that rivaled those in Kansas City and Chicago. Discover how the Stock Show has grown into a state treasure and symbol of Colorado’s deep agricultural roots.
