Individuals Complete Genex Beef Training School
SHAWANO, Wis. - Twenty-two individuals with strong beef backgrounds have completed a three day training program with Genex Cooperative, Inc., for additional training for their jobs as Genex Area Beef Representatives. The training program informs these individuals about the Genex beef program and what services are available to them and their customers.
The comprehensive training program at the cooperative's headquarters in Shawano, Wis., included detailed classroom learning focused on the Genex beef program, finances, semen handling, synchronization and customer service.
As Area Beef Representatives for one of the world's leading suppliers of cattle genetics, the individuals work with purebred and commercial beef producers to develop customized reproductive programs to meet immediate and long-term genetic goals. They also provide complete "chute-side" service including heat detection and synchronization program assistance, artificial insemination, sire recommendations, and semen sales including both conventional semen and GenChoiceTM sexed semen. Each individual is ready to meet the Genex mission by helping producers improve herd profitability.
The representatives who recently completed the Genex training program are listed below along with their hometowns.
