Each winter, nearly 700,000 people visit the National Western Stock Show, an extravaganza of about 30 rodeos, 11 horse shows, and countless other attractions just a couple of miles from the heart of Denver. For so many visitors from the increasingly urbanized West, the Stock Show offers a rare window into Western tradition and the incredible importance that agriculture and ranching industries have made to revolutionize our daily lives.

For many other visitors, the National Western Stock Show is a pilgrimage, a gathering of the extended f amily that sustains and defines the West. Since the first Stock Show in 1906, it has been a place where generations of farmers and ranchers - people whose hard work feeds the rest of us - spend time reuniting with old friends, learning about new approaches and techniques in agriculture and ranching, and doing some business, year after year.
