The Bucket Calf Show is a favorite event for many of our guests and exhibitors at the Weld County Fair. Established in 1987, the Bucket Calf Show gives youth ages 4-8 (as of December 31st) an opportunity to bring an animal into the ring to be shown. Exhibitors have the option to dress up along with their calf for fun, but it is not required. All calves must go through animal health inspection when entering Island Grove Park. Animal health inspection will begin at 8:00 a.m. and participants are advised to plan accordingly.
