NWSS Junior Livestock Auction supports youth educationThe National Western's mission to preserve the western heritage through education was served well by the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions held Jan. 19 at the Beef Palace Auction Arena. Each exhibitor contributes 10 percent of their sale price to the National Western Scholarship Trust, which grants 65 scholarships to colleges and universities in Colorado and Wyoming for the next generation of agribusiness leaders and rural medical doctors. Consistently one of the National Western Stock Show's most popular events, the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions finished with the same enthusiasm.
