Coastal Research & Extension Center
Beef and Forage Research Program
The beef-forage research program at the South Mississippi Branch Experiment Station serves the specific
research needs of beef producers in south Mississippi. Research
is conducted on 610 acres of hay and pasture land with approximately
300 head of commercial cattle. Applied beef research is conducted
in nutrition, reproduction and management as they relate and
interact with forage research with various crops, varieties,
fertility and other agronomic practices. Research results can
be extended to southeast Louisiana, the Gulf Coast and southeastern
United States with similar climate, soils and forages.
