Legends, Livestock, and the Next Generation at the National Western Stock Show
He first sits down with authors Rachel Gabel and the legendary Dr. John Matsushima—who is an incredible 105 years old—to hear pieces of Dr. John’s remarkable life story in agriculture and education. Trent and Rachel break down the importance of the National Western’s famous Catch-A-Calf program, which teaches responsibility, animal care, and leadership to the next generation of agricultural youth.
Later, Trent talks with Lindsey Hollingsworth, mother of a Catch-A-Calf participant, who shares firsthand insight about what the program has meant for her daughter—building confidence, work ethic, and a deeper connection to livestock and rural America. This episode celebrates agriculture’s living history, the heroes who built it, and the young people who will carry the legacy forward. It’s the kind of uplifting rural storytelling that makes you proud to be part of America’s heartland—and it’s exactly the kind of content that fuels BEK TV.
