STtalks #384 - Journey of Genetics Part 7: Technology & Genetics Driving Profitability with Jack Hippen
About this episode
Jack Hippen discusses the impact of technology and genetics on profitability in dairy production.
In the final episode of our Journey of Genetics Series, we are joined by Jack Hippen, STgenetics® North American and EU Sales Director, to break down what really happens when a producer buys that final straw and why it matters. From advancing gender-sorted semen performance to packing more female cells per straw, Jack shares how STgenetics® is pushing beyond sorting and driving true genetic progress. He dives into the power of Beef on Dairy as a third revenue stream and how genomics is reshaping herd decisions, boosting production, improving health and longevity and tightening efficiency from the ground up. It’s a fast-paced look at how smarter genetics translates to stronger profitability and a more sustainable future for dairy producers.
