OSU Purebred Beef Center

Purebred beef cattle are maintained at two principal locations: the Beef Cattle Center, located on 160 acres three miles west of Stillwater on State Highway 51, and the "purebred range" consisting of 1,400 acres of native grass and 350 acres of Old World Bluestem improved pasture on the north side of Lake Carl Blackwell. The purebred herd has a current inventory of approximately 100 Angus, 25 Hereford, 25 Polled Hereford, 15 Brangus, 25 Limousin, and 25 Simmental mature females. Additionally, replacement animals number approximately 150 or more.

Buildings located at the Beef Cattle Center include: office, sale pavilion, student dormitory, a show barn with 12 individual pens and outside pens where cattle are maintained for class, sale and show purposes, a "working barn" where general cattle management activities are performed, and the Progeny Test Barn, which is used primarily for nutrition research by various faculty. These animal facilities are used extensively in our teaching program and related activities, including some Extension activities with numerous tour groups, etc.
