Gene's vast experience in artificial insemination (AI) began with his work for Cross Country Genetics and Fink Beef Genetics. In 1996, Gene and Anna started a custom AI business; and in 2021, at their 25-year mark, reached over 150,000 head AI-ed.
Over the years, when school schedules allowed, Payden and Ella would travel to help on projects as needed. In 2018, after going through a season AI-ing the Barrett Cattle herd, Payden began working with Gene on customer AI projects. This has allowed for expansion in projects and opened up more availability for customer schedules.
Gene and Payden work with producers on a project-by-project basis, developing the best AI program for their particular operation. And in February of 2022, Payden also joined Genex Beef as territory manager for Kansas.
