STtalks

STtalks is wrapping up our June Dairy Month celebration with a very special guest, one of agriculture’s most recognizable ambassadors, Alice in Dairyland! Sarah Hagenow, the 78th Alice in Dairyland, shares the journey that led her to one of agriculture’s most prestigious ambassador roles. From her roots in 4-H and FFA to collegiate dairy judging, international travel, and countless leadership experiences, Sarah reflects on the moments that shaped her passion for agriculture and prepared her to represent Wisconsin’s farmers and agricultural community. She also takes us behind the scenes of her year as Alice, offering a candid look at the challenges, unforgettable experiences, and lessons she's learned while becoming an authentic and approachable voice for agriculture.

STgenetics®’ Matthew Gunst and Mandy Sell-Stanford discuss how youth programs have influenced their journey in the dairy industry, share some advice for youth and showcase the STgenetics® summer youth promotion currently going on here in the U.S.

Brian Behnke joins us to go over the history and the future of STgenetics® STructured™ STyle Red & White portfolio. In this STtalks we hear about the foundation that bulls like AWESOME-RED and JORDY-RED laid and how bulls like ALTITUDE-RED, ARCHITECT-RED and AUDACIOUS-RED are caring our next Red generation. The conversation also explores line breeding and how genomics helps manage faults, then breaks down the Shakira-family brothers SHARPSHOOTER*RC, SOLEADO-RED, and TIDALWAVE-RED, and closes with interest in CYBEX P *RC.

STgenetics® has an impressive mid-release group of bulls who are highlighted by 14 sires over +3400 GTPI, 11 bulls exceeding +1200 Eco$, 10 bulls over +200 CFP, 10 sires with more than +4.0 Productive Life, 5 bulls above +1.00 UDC, and two new Jersey sires. We're also seeing exciting additions to both our Polled and Legend™ programs, with plenty of standout new sires, this is an STtalks you won’t want to miss!

Today’s guest highlights the impact of storytelling as a key tool for building consumer trust and connection. Emily Elsing, an agricultural storyteller and influencer, shares how FFA and her time at UW–Madison led her into agriculture, and how she and her husband, Avery, began sharing their everyday rural life on YouTube through their page, New Age Custom Farming, as well as her Facebook, Prairie Raised Beef, and Instagram, @‌emilyelsing_. Emily explains how in-person feedback confirmed the impact of their content, how she handles criticism, and why farmers don’t need an “earth-shattering” story to be worth following. She discusses social media’s role in opening “farm gates” to consumers, the value of real human connection and community, simple content ideas for dairy producers, and opportunities their social presence has created for their farm.

This week, we're joined by STgenetics®' Kevin Ziemba to discuss his article, "The Story of Fat and the Future of Protein: How Genetics Influence Components." We explore how changing consumer preferences are shaping processor demands, influencing genetic selection decisions on dairies worldwide, and creating new opportunities for producers to capture more value through strategic breeding programs. Tune in to learn why protein may be the next frontier in dairy genetics.

A special June Dairy Month episode of STtalks is now live! In this STtalks taped during STgenetics®’ Elite Dairy Summit in Puerto Rico, Tim Doelman, former CEO of fairlife®, joins us to discuss building one of the fastest-growing beverages over the past 12 years by “unlocking” milk’s nutrition and creating products based on consumer needs rather than commodity thinking. With the belief that milk contains the building blocks of life, especially proteins, we dive into the great opportunities that lie before dairy producers and how we can meet consumers' needs and demands today.

In this episode of #STtalks, we visit with Jason Felling of Felling Dairy and Mitch Hockett from #STgenetics to discuss how #Farmfit is helping turn real-time temperature and activity data into smarter decisions on the farm.

Happy World Milk Day and Happy June Dairy Month! In this STtalks we celebrate the dairy story, which all starts with one smart decision. One straw, calf, cow, and future. From innovative genetics to healthier, more efficient cows, every breeding decision helps dairy producers create more sustainable, profitable farms while producing one of the world's most complete foods: milk!

Neste episódio do STtalks, você vai conhecer o Super Conventional® da STgenetics, uma nova tecnologia de sêmen otimizado para gênero.

Pete Gelber of Barrington Dairy is back with us to share about the proof-of-concept trial he and his STgenetics® representative, Ron Jackson, put together with 460 2-year-old fresh heifers to show the impact of STgenetics® EcoFeed®cow trait. After 4 months, Pete states, “ This EcoFeed® thing is definitely true, according to me. You know, we did this trial…and it's like, holy cow, this is really working, you know? It was pretty obvious. It wasn't like it was a half a pound or a quarter pound. It was substantial.”

“It starts with the feed…but it really helps to be working with good genetics to maximize that,” states James Bailey in this STtalks! James, a co-founder of ProAgtive Dairy Nutrition, joins STgenetics® Eric Zwiefelhofer to share about the on-farm trial they put together at Cottonwood Dairy in South Wayne, Wisconsin, to prove the impact of selecting for STgenetics®’ Eco$ Index. After splitting first lactation heifers into two separate pens based on their Eco$ value, there was an easy difference noticed in the data that supports that good genetics make more efficient, profitable cows.

In this STtalks we learn more about the genetics behind heat-tolerant cattle by diving into the slick gene. The group outlines how slick was introduced into the Holstein breed, and why heat tolerance matters for productivity in tropical and heat-stress regions. They also cover potential benefits for Beef on Dairy calves, recent progress in building higher-merit slick sire lines, and practical implementation using genomic testing, STrategy™, and Chromosomal Mating® to track and increase slick frequency over time.

After the April 2026 genetic evaluations, Canada experienced a rollback and changes to the LPI formula, we visit with Mike Barnum and Maxime Ten-Have to discuss how STgenetics® Canada is prepared to meet producer’s needs and handle industry change and market trends. Focusing on a few sires like BREEZER, RHETT, BECK, MYLO, BEATBOX and more, we dive into some unique offerings from the various portfolios like Eco$ and RCI sires. Additionally, we hear about the success of CAPTAIN daughters in Canada and what his release off the Legend™ program means to Canadian dairy producers.

To every farm mom wearing countless hats behind the scenes, this STtalks is for you. In this special Mother’s Day episode, we celebrate the moms who do it all long before the sun rises; feeding calves, packing lunches, balancing books, driving kids to school and supporting the farm team, while somehow still making home feel warm and cared for!

Let’s take a closer look at STgenetics®’ new laser-measured udder traits that are bringing even greater accuracy to the industry-leading Robotic Cow Index (RCI). Join Kevin Ziemba, Natalia Rodrigues, and Piush Khanal as they discuss these innovative new traits, their heritability, and how this selection can benefit not only robotic milking systems, but dairy operations as a whole. The conversation also dives into labor shortages, the growing need for more precise udder conformation data, and how technology is reshaping genetic selection on today’s dairy farms.

In this STtalks we discuss how the dairy industry defines and breeds for true efficiency beyond simply reducing cow size. Kevin Ziemba, Jocelyn Johnson and David Kendall join us to introduce two new STgenetics® traits; Mature Live Weight (MLW), built from over 1.8 million robot-recorded body weight records from more than 5,000 Holstein cows, and STurdy, an index combining linear type traits with MLW to identify cows that are wider and more robust relative to height and weight, designed to help producers moderate size while maintaining durability and functionality. This STtalks takes a deep dive into the concept of truly STurdy cows and how selection with these two new traits can achieve athletic, durable and profitable herds.

After a short break during April Genetic Evaluations, we’re back with our 6th episode of our Journey of Genetics Series! In this STtalks episode, we cover the logistics of distribution with Jim Chapman, STgenetics® Distribution Manager. He walks us through how semen moves from lab approval to your farm while maintaining temperature and quality, ensuring traceability as well. Jim goes over safeguards as well as improvements in tracking to ensure the product gets to where it needs to go when it needs to get there!

He emphasizes the importance of single-cell selection, high-throughput performance, and why precise selection is critical in regenerative medicine because “the cells are the drug.”

In the third episode of our Journey of Genetics Series, Roger Breunig joins us to explain how the care and management of mature sires at the Fond du Lac facility directly impacts semen quality and long-term productivity. He details key management pillars, including single housing, age-based nutrition targets, body condition and weight monitoring, hoof-trimming protocols, and minimizing stress to protect libido and soundness. We discuss balancing market demand with bull longevity, optimal productive ages, and the lab check-in process immediately after collection, before sorting and freezing.

In the second episode of our Journey of Genetics series, Dakota Cable and Cole Endres take us behind the scenes of how young sires are cared for and developed from the moment they arrive on the farm. From early transitions to key growth stages, they share how consistency in care, routines, and environment plays a critical role in setting these bulls up for long-term success. You’ll hear how their team closely monitors health, tracks growth, and makes strategic management decisions that influence future performance. Plus, they walk us through how these young sires are prepared for the next step—entering a production facility.

We are kicking off a new series, the Journey of Genetics! In this series, we will be taking you behind the scenes of the genetics you use on your farm — walking step-by-step through how bulls are created, developed, collected, processed, packaged, allocated, and ultimately how their genetics go on to impact your herd. In the first episode, we have Dan Carroll with us to break down how STgenetics® creates and acquires the Holstein sires who are put out to our global markets. Dan covers mating strategies and the importance of diversity, along with proven cow families. He also outlines how weekly genomic results drive early ranking and acquisition decisions, how the Legend™ program supports internal bull creation, and the importance of early-life health and management.

On this special International Women’s Day episode, we celebrate the women who have shaped agriculture from its earliest beginnings to the cutting-edge innovations of today.

Join us as we recognize the impact, leadership, and future of women in agriculture — and the generations they are inspiring along the way.

As the U.S. beef herd continues to decline, we visit with STgenetics® Beef managers, Aaron Arnett and Zach Clodfelter along with Dr. Carl Dahlen of North Dakota State University to learn about the state of the current market. They discuss how the industry is adapting to tighter cattle supplies by increasing carcass weights, supported by genetic improvement and sustained demand for high-quality beef. The group then dives into the balance of managing record high prices with long-term herd sustainability and where adoption of Artificial Insemination plans and gender-sorted semen technology can fall into place to improve profitability, replacement strategies and herd rebuilding.

STgenetics® recently had a study published in the Journal of Dairy Science with the University of California Davis titled “Improving Feed Efficiency With the EcoFeed® Index, reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Dairy Cattle.” Jocelyn Johnson joins us to explain the process behind this study, diving into the multi-year path of building a reference population and publishing/validating genomic evaluations for heifers and cows to demonstrating reduced feed intake without sacrificing productivity and confirming methane benefits. The incredible results from this study indicate a 1 SD EcoFeed® improvement was associated with about $200 in lifetime feed cost savings and just under one ton of reduced carbon per cow. Jocelyn takes these results further and explains how her team is helping producers communicate this message and so much more!

Ben Voelz and Casey Anderson join us to discuss the advantages and opportunities STgenetics® Ultraplus High Purity™ gender-sorted semen is providing on the farm.
