CAFNR Abstract Presented During North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture Annual Conference
Beef cattle research was introduced at the Thompson Research Center in 1963, and since that time the site has served as an important research location that emphasizes premium cattle genetics. Thompson, part of the University of Missouri (MU) College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) Agricultural Experiment Station, is continuing to build on that prestigious research resume in 2021. With the help of a USDA Rural Business Development Grant, the Research Center has developed its own feedlot allowing specialists the opportunity to feed and keep cattle in the state and build Missouri’s economic impact.
