Flooding Market with Argentinian Beef Is Not America First: Governor Polis Calls on President Trump Not to Hurt to Colorado Ranchers, American Beef

In reaction to President Trump's intent to purchase massive amounts of Argentinian Beef, Governor Polis released the following statement on the thoughtless plan that will harm Colorado ranchers and the American beef industry.

“If the President floods the market with Argentinian beef, he will crush hardworking Colorado farmers and ranchers, turning his back on the industry that helps drive our western economy and puts food on our tables. On the heels of a $20 billion bailout for Argentina during a government shutdown, when American families are facing hunger and skyrocketing health care costs, it’s even worse to intentionally harm American farmers. This thoughtless move would take business from American farmers and ranchers to prop up the president's friend, and I like Javier Milei as much as the next guy and he has great hair, but helping him doesn’t justify hurting ranchers. If the President moves forward, it will be a slap in the face to hardworking producers across the entire nation,” said Governor Polis.

Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

Video: Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

What started as a disappointment turned into a day full of surprises, fun, and celebration as we leave Ewetopia Farms behind and head out to the Kingston Fair to watch the 4H sheep show

Today’s vlog was supposed to be another sheep shearing day here at Ewetopia Farms, but when our shearer had to cancel, we suddenly found ourselves with an unexpected free day. Lucky for us, the Kingston Fair was happening — and some of our own sheep (and friends) were competing!

We brought along our shearing helper and headed to the fairgrounds to cheer on the 4H kids and see how our sheep did in the show. From last-minute preparations and sheep showmanship to market lamb competitions and ewe classes, we take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like at a country fair.

We couldn’t be prouder — our girls walked away with wins in both showmanship and breeding ewe classes! Afterwards, we toured the fair, met a beekeeper with fascinating insights, admired other livestock shows, and wrapped up the evening with motocross stunts and a demolition derby!

Sometimes farm life throws curveballs — but today, it gave us the chance to celebrate community, our sheep, and the next generation of shepherds.
