The Texas A&M Beef Center encompasses 350 acres of the 580-acre O.D. Butler, Jr. Animal Science Complex and includes a central building, feed storage facility, and shop and equipment storage.

The central building houses an office for the Beef Center manager. The auditorium within the central building serves as a combination teaching and public event facility that accommodates up to 200 people. The room is theatre-style, with a raised stage, podium, and scale for live animal demonstrations in a classroom setting. The auditorium is equipped with a projection screen and is suitable for audiovisual presentations. The facility also includes a cattle sale ring, restrooms, and a kitchen service area to support catered events. A conference room is also available, which is suitable for small lectures and meetings.

An outside covered area is designed for cattle holding and handling. This area includes space for teaching activities such as artificial insemination, pregnancy determination, live animal evaluation, animal health demonstrations, and behavior demonstrations. The outdoor area also includes restrooms, animal wash area, feed and tack storage, and a laboratory area. Panel pens for holding and feeding provide areas for individual access to cattle. Lanes allow access to outside corrals and holding pens.

The Beef Center feed storage facility includes a 4,000-square-foot feed storage building with four inside feed storage bins and six outside storage bins. A 4,500-square-foot shop and equipment storage building contains parts and equipment storage areas, a shop, and an office.

The Beef Center herd includes registered Angus, Brahman, and Simmental cattle and a herd of commercial cattle. In 2002, the Beef Center began exhibiting their registered Simmental cattle at major livestock shows across the nation, bringing added exposure to the Texas A&M beef cattle program.
