Katrina Galindo grew up with beef cows and horses and later fell in love with the dairy industry.
Now she’s getting to combine both dairy and beef with her interest in artificial breeding in her new role as Genetics Australia’s regional sales manager for Gippsland.
One of Katrina’s priorities will be building close connections with farmers, building on her strong track record in this field.
“I enjoy selling but I mostly like building relationships through account management,” she said. “I love going out on farms where you really get to know families.”
April ABVs have delivered great results for Genetics Australia bulls with a bull for every breeding goal and every breed, according to CEO Anthony Shelly.
Mr Shelly said the bulls standing in Australia have never been better. “We will continue to invest in the best genetics available to us and there isn’t a source of genetics around the world that cannot be ranked on the Australian system,” he said.
“Breeding the best to the best has paid dividends and the rapid gains made through the use of genomics can clearly be seen in each of the Holstein, Jersey and Australian Reds breed tables released by DataGene.”
