After completing an M.Sc. Dr. Stookey spent the next five years managing the 1,000 ewe sheep flock and research unit at the University of Illinois. In 1985 Dr. Stookey managed the Swine Research Centre at the University of Illinois and began his work on a Ph.D. During his Ph.D. program, Dr. Stookey spent one year in Kenya as a member of the Animal Science Department at Edgerton University, Njoro where he taught basic animal science courses. He completed his Ph.D. in 1991 in the field of applied animal behaviour.
Dr. Stookey's research program focuses on the maternal and social behaviour of cattle, swine and sheep, plus the factors that influence handling and temperament in beef cattle. As an applied animal behaviourist he has aimed his research at improving the productivity and welfare in domestic food animals through the application and investigation of the behavioral processes. In addition to his research, Dr. Stookey lectures to the first year veterinary students on basic animal behaviour principles, plus gives presentations to producer organizations.
