The Angelo State University Management Instruction and Research center was founded in 1975. It is an Agriculture Research Center that concentrates primarily on areas of research involving sheep, goat, and cattle production; range management and improvement and wildlife management.〔(Texas Handbook Online )〕 The center resides on over of land under long-term lease from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is located on the shores of O.C. Fisher Lake outside San Angelo, Texas. The research center serves as a full-size working ranch, one of few among U.S. Universities. It includes 150 Rambouillet sheep (the university mascot), 100 Suffolk and hair sheep, 95 Boer goats, 50 Angora goats, and over 100 Angus cows.〔(ASU ranch offers students hands-on research )〕 Departments within the MIR include the 1.6 million dollar Food Safety and Product Development Laboratory facility opened in 2005〔(ASU Food Safety and Product Development Laboratory )〕 and the associated ASU Meat Market.〔(ASU Meat Market )〕 ==Research== Recent published research conducted by the faculty at Angelo State University MIR include: Salisbury, Michael W., May, B.
