Our Land

Purebred beef cattle are maintained at two locations: the Purebred 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 office includes a sale pavilion and student dormitory. A show barn houses 12 individual pens and outside pens where cattle are maintained for class, sale and show purposes. The center also has a working barn where general cattle management activities are performed, the Progeny Test Barn which is used primarily for nutrition research by various faculty, and 2,000 acres of native pasture and improved grasses.
