The beef barn was constructed in the mid-70’s and is equipped with a
manager’s office,
student laundry and study area with student living quarters which can
house up to four students. There are 200-300 acres of pasture available.
The mission of the Center is to provide animals for teaching and
research endeavors of the University. Currently 120 spring calving cows
and approximately 40 fall calving cows. These animals are of Angus,
Simmental and Angus x Simmental breeding. Steer calves are sent to
Wooster for feedlot trials and heifers calves are retained for research
projects and replacement females.
Live animals are required for evaluation classes so that students can
learn what is actually happening in an industry setting. Most of the
research projects that are conducted are performed to help increase the
profitability of producers around the state.
