National Western Stock Show
@nationalwesternAbout
The National Western Stock Show is an annual livestock show and festival held every January, at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado, since 1906. The show's original purpose was to demonstrate better breeding and feeding techniques to area stockmen; however, it was largely the main showings as a means to attract patrons to the surrounding vendors. The founders included Elias M. Ammons, president of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers Association and later governor of Colorado; George Ballentine, general manager of the Denver Union Stock Yard Company; and Fred P. Johnson, publisher of the Record Stockman. Since 1906, it has become the world's largest stock show by the number of animals and offers a carload and pen cattle show. Originally limited to livestock from the western United States, the show was expanded in 1908 to include entrants from around the world. A horse show was added in 1908, and a rodeo was added in 1931.
