The Purebred Beef unit is located at Arlington and used for teaching
and research activities. A cow-calf operation comprises the beef teaching
herd used for education on topics related to animal husbandry, reproductive
physiology, and showing of livestock. The herd consists of purebred Angus
and Polled Herefords that originated from donations of genetics from Wisconsin
beef producers. Additional commercial females are maintained at the site
for use as recipients for embryos. Offspring from this herd provide show
ring experience for undergraduate students with livestock going to World
Beef Expo, Wisconsin State Fair, and Denver Livestock Shows. The facility
was built in 1963.
