Governor declares Livestock Proud Day March 22
Colorado Livestock Association was joined by Colorado Dairy Farmers, Colorado Egg Producers, Colorado Pork Producers Council, Colorado Wool Growers Association and Rocky Mountain Farmers Union in requesting that Colorado Governor Jared Polis declare March 22 Colorado Livestock Proud Day. The groups were notified last Friday that the Governor had agreed to sign the declaration. The declaration specifically highlights the essential nutrients in beef and emphasizes that livestock convert solar energy into food on marginal lands. The proclamation also states, “Agriculture serves as our state’s economic backbone, generating more than $40 billion in economic activity annually and supporting more than 170,000 jobs. Livestock production contributes over $4.6 billion to Colorado’s economy.”
