He received his Ph.D. in ruminant nutrition at Oklahoma State University in 1980. Dr. Stanton has been Extension Feedlot Specialist at Colorado State University since 1980.

He serves as an ex-officio member of their Board of Directors which allows participation in and planning of successful educational seminars and research projects that are supported by the industry.

A cooperative research effort was established by Dr. Stanton, whereby cattle producers and feeders retain ownership of cattle that are used in research trials at Colorado State University. To date, there have been 43 trials involving 59 cooperators with over 8100 head of cattle. Projects have included the following: (1) grain processing, (2) economics of managing pregnant heifers in the feedyard, (3) the additivity of MGA and implants with finishing heifers, (4) feedbunk management/restricted feeding, (5) dietary phosphorus level, growth performance and nutrient content of manure and (6) trace mineral type and level in receiving and finishing diets.
