Cattle are watered by numerous ponds and a well with an underground water distribution system.

The research facility includes cattle working facilities, including an office/lab, tack room, storage space, hydraulic squeeze chute, tub, and alley, sorting and holding corrals, and a load-out chute. The building and corrals were completed in 1998.
