Mission
The Clayton Livestock Research Center’s mission is to conduct research on the health and performance of newly received cattle, mostly lightweight. These cattle may originate in New Mexico or the Southwestern states and are brought to NM for grazing.
Vision
To be the premier feedlot research center in the United States.
Research Focus
Scientists at the Clayton Livestock Research Center conduct research on shipping protocols for cattle, particularly evaluating the health and performance of newly received cattle and nutrition and management from feedlot to slaughter. Other research involves irrigated pastures and native grasslands, including grazing and stocking densities on locoweed-infested pastures.
