Governor Polis Celebrates Present and Future Colorado Ranchers at Junior Livestock Sale

PUEBLO - Today, Governor Polis was in Pueblo and spoke with future and present Colorado ranchers at the 2026 Colorado State Fair Junior Livestock Sale in Pueblo. The auction is an opportunity for buyers to bid on the livestock raised by these young Coloradans and support their hard work.

"Colorado's iconic state fair in Pueblo brings together Coloradans from all corners of the state to have a great time and celebrate our farmers and ranchers who put food on our tables. I am excited to see all of the amazing young farmers and ranchers carrying on family traditions and building on Colorado's strong agricultural community, making our state stronger now and in the future," said Governor Polis.
