Welcome to the Kilgore College Ag Farm Home Page
Description
The 448-acre Kilgore College Agricultural and Environmental Science Center, located two miles northeast of Overton on State Highway 135, houses all lecture and laboratory classes which usually meet one afternoon per week per course.
Only nine miles from the campus, the College Farm is home to a purebred Angus herd which will be foundation seed stock for animals exhibited by the KC Show Team, which began competition during the Fall of 2001. The College maintains a commercial herd of crossbred cattle for use in a newly created embryo transfer program as a training aid for animal science students and to enhance the genetic makeup of the current and future stock.
Although Suffolk sheep and Boer goats are more naturally acclimated to the Texas Hill Country, Kilgore College defied tradition to bring these species to East Texas so they could be studied by students in animal science classes.
