Genex Cooperative Inc

The Dairy Herdsman Continuing Education Video Series was developed and produced by CRI and Dr. Roger Weigle. Dr. Weigle had over 20 years of veterinarian experience working in a private Wisconsin dairy clinic before joining Genex as the Associate Vice President of Animal Health.

According to Dr. Weigle, "The reason for producing this video series was to try to empower the farmer or herdsperson with information they can use to upgrade the management of their herds."

The series also shows proper techniques as well as simpler and safer ways to complete many day-to-day procedures. These videos are excellent training tools for new farm employees or a great review for the experienced farmer. Currently there are five topics covered in the series. Each is available in English or Spanish on DVD.
