Roundup is the major beef cattle education and outreach event sponsored by the research center. It has been held each year since 1914 with the exception of 1945 when German prisoners of war were housed in the livestock research area. Results of the beef cattle research have been reported to the agricultural community through an ongoing series of publications that began with a mimeographed circular in 1913.

Roundup reports have been published almost every year, making it one of the longest series published by any public research agency.
