Genex Cooperative, Inc., a dairy and beef cattle genetics company headquartered in Shawano, has hired 18 student interns from across the nation to fill internship positions within the cooperative's dairy
genetics, production and domestic marketing divisions.
The interns, representing 11 colleges and universities, have accepted responsibilities such as collecting data and verifying the DNA parentage of Genex-sired dairy cattle and assisting with photographing dairy
sire daughters; feeding and caring for Holstein calves as well as multiple ovulation embryo transfer donor females and recipients; providing on-farm cattle heat detection and artificial insemination service; and
caring for dairy and beef sires and assisting with semen collection.
From Wisconsin, this year's student interns include Anna Jones of Shawano, who will be a GENESIS Intern. And Benjamin Voelz, Tilleda; Eric Breunig, Sheboygan Falls; Jacob Stueber, Stratford; and Syver
Rundberg, Reedsburg, will all serve as marketing interns.
During their internship, each student also participates in an extensive two-week training program which includes both classroom and hands-on learning sessions. The training program teaches bovine
reproductive anatomy, the bovine estrous cycle, heat detection and synchronization strategies, and artificial insemination technique.
