Youth Livestock Skills and the Future of the Beef Industry

He highlights the 90th anniversary of the Catch-a-Calf program, where teenagers receive calves, keep detailed records, and communicate with sponsors. Trent stresses that livestock shows are not just about breeding livestock—they’re about developing skilled, responsible young Americans.

He also breaks down the beef checkoff system, explaining how imported beef pays a one-dollar checkoff on every 600 pounds, with all funds going directly to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board since there is no state program involved. Trent raises concerns about the surging volume of imported beef and the recent increase in importer representation on the board. The episode delivers a powerful message about protecting U.S. agriculture, supporting American youth, and staying alert to the forces shaping the future of the beef industry.
