The Meat & Greet is a foodie event that features Colorado proteins (beef, pork, lamb, and goat), Colorado wine, beer, sprits, Colorado kids (4-H and FFA Members), and responsibly raised livestock that will be on display in November and exhibited at the National Western Stock Show in January of 2026. 

This event works to create a greater awareness of agriculture and the youth that exhibit at the National Western Stock Show through relationship building between exhibitors and the professional demographic of the greater Denver metro area.  This takes the National Western experience to a new level!

Exhibitors and their animals will walk the runway and attendees can bid on a “Partner Experience” with that exhibitor and animal. Winning bidders will receive regular communication with their exhibitor through the National Western Stock Show. Buyers will also have the chance to visit with their exhibitor and watch them exhibit their animal on their respective show day at the NWSS. Buyers will have a first-class experience at the NWSS as the Colorado FFA Foundation will host them on show day.
