Dr. Eversole is in charge of the Beef Cattle Center. His areas of research include applied studies in the growth and development of bulls, cow/calf management, and feedlot nutrition. The research is directly applicable to the beef cattle industry and has elucidated solutions to problems affecting the efficacy of beef cattle performance and management. Considerable work has focused on selenium, copper, and zinc supplemental levels in salt-mineral mixtures for weaned calves, gestating cows, and growing bulls. Studies are conducted to examine the effects of trace-mineral supplementation on immune function in beef cattle.
