And then, past all that, on the north end of the Stock Show grounds, a more fundamental piece of the livestock industry is on display.
Willie Altenberg's a volunteer superintendent, helping run cattle auctions out here at the stockyards.
These cows aren't all done up for the beauty pageants inside.
They are ready to sell.
Lots of stock shows have auctions, but few in the U.S.
are on this scale.
Rachel Showalter's out here with 12 young calves from her western Colorado ranch.
Do you play favorites?
It's her first time trying out the Denver auctions, and there's high demand for what she's selling.
Breeding heifers.
Future mama cows to make more cows elsewhere.
Prices are high.
Heifers like these can each fetch $3,000, $4,000 or more.
Five years ago, it was closer to $2,000.
So Willie Altenberg says the yards have been totally booked for some of the auctions here.
There's so much optimism in the industry.
Optimism for those selling the cows, that is.
For the ranchers buying these heifers, it's more like sticker shock.
Cattle are a commodity, and buying any commodity at its record high price carries risk.
Will these prices stay at those record highs so ranchers can recoup these investments and battle inflation across their operations?
