The Iowa State University Beef Teaching Farm focuses on educating both students and producers through research and hands-on activities.
The Beef Teaching Farm strives for excellence in cattle production and hands-on teaching. The herd has both spring and fall calving programs. Purebred calves are born in the spring - primarily March and April. Angus and Simmental breeds comprise the purebred herds.
