The Ontario Beef Research Centre – New Liskeard (formerly known as the New Liskeard Beef Research Station) was originally established as a demonstration farm in 1922 by the Ontario Government. Presently, the centre consists of approximately 137 hectares (340 acres) of pastureland. There are two barns approved for use, both equipped with a hydraulic squeeze system, which allows for safe handling and weighing of cattle.

The facility is owned by the Government of Ontario through its agency, Agricultural Research and Innovation Ontario, and managed by U of G through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance.
