A tradition since 1906, the National Western Stock Show is part-rodeo, part-livestock show and part-fair and brings hundreds of thousands of people to the National Western Complex each year for a celebration of our state’s agricultural heritage. The National Western Stock Show has one of the world’s richest regular-season professional rodeos, one of the country’s largest horse shows and Colorado’s largest agricultural trade show. The Stock Show welcomes attendees from all 50 states and 30 countries and will drive an estimated $171 million in economic impact to Colorado. The 119th annual National Western Stock Show and Rodeo runs until Sunday, Jan. 26, at the National Western Complex and Denver Coliseum at Interstate 70 and Brighton Boulevard. The Auction of Junior Livestock Champions at the National Western Stock Show will be held Friday. 9NEWS air the auction at 6:30 p.m. Friday, as well as on the free 9NEWS+ app, 9NEWS.com and 9NEWS YouTube channel.
