She followed that up with a Master\u2019s of Science in Agriculture at Sam Houston State University, before completing her PhD at Texas Tech University. Her doctoral research focused on nutritional factors affecting muscle development in feedlot steers. She then went on to work for American Calf Products as a sales manager and calf consultant. During COVID, she worked for a beef cattle producer in Anton, TX, before returning to academia. She is now an assistant professor in Animal Science at Tarleton State University, where she serves as the beef cattle specialist. She currently conducts research evaluating feed additives and micronutrients and how they impact growth performance, reproduction, and muscle development in beef cattle. Dr. Wellmann serves on the Honors Advisory Council, the TSU General Scholarship Committee, and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Suspension Committee. She also serves as the Animal Science Faculty Senator and is a faculty advisor for the Tarleton Pre-Veterinary Medical Association. She sits on, co-chairs, or chairs countless undergraduate honors, master\u2019s thesis, and doctoral dissertation committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scholarly Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-29b67f69-46c3-49ce-96e5-c2ac98ceb5cf\" href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=ZfImIScAAAAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span><strong>Google Scholar<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-29b67f69-46c3-49ce-96e5-c2ac98ceb5cf{font-size:18px;color:#4f2d7f !important;background-color:#ffffff !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:4px !important;border-color:#4f2d7f !important;border-style:solid !important;border-radius:25px !important;}.advgbbtn-29b67f69-46c3-49ce-96e5-c2ac98ceb5cf:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-29b67f69-46c3-49ce-96e5-c2ac98ceb5cf > i {font-size:30px;color:inherit;float:left;margin-right:7px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kimberly Wellmann, Ph.D. Assistant Professor in Animal Science &amp; Beef Cattle Specialist Email: kwellmann@tarleton.edu Phone: (254)-968-9211 Office: Autry 309A Research Interests Education Undergraduate Education B.S. in Animal Science, Texas A&amp;M &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":845,"featured_media":580,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1297","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/author\/swdmcelyea\/","display_name":"swdmcelyea"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 6 months ago","modified":"Updated 6 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on October 2, 2025","modified":"Updated on October 2, 2025"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on October 2, 2025 6:19 pm","modified":"Updated on October 2, 2025 6:19 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","featured_img":false,"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/845"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1297"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1363,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1297\/revisions\/1363"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
