About Arapahoe County Youth Livestock Auction
Arapahoe County Youth Livestock Auction is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that runs the county’s annual junior livestock sale as part of the Arapahoe County Fair, providing a marketplace and fundraising platform for 4‑H and FFA youth exhibitors.
The organization has been tax‑exempt since 2014 and maintains an active program of buyer outreach, add‑on campaigns, and in‑person auction events; recent years (2023–2025) show continuing community support with annual auctions, a listing of 2024 champions on the organization website, and a scheduled 2025 auction on July 26, 2025. Public tax filings indicate the organization has handled program revenues in the mid hundreds of thousands of dollars annually (roughly $360k in 2023 and ~$381k in 2024), funds that are passed directly to youth exhibitors.
