What is bovine genetics?

Bovine genetics is the study of heredity and variation in cattle. It involves understanding how traits such as milk production, growth rate, disease resistance, and physical characteristics are passed from one generation to the next. Professionals working in bovine genetics use genetic principles and technologies to improve breeding programs, enhance productivity, and support animal health. This field is important for advancing the efficiency and sustainability of the cattle industry.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a bovine geneticist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Bovine Geneticist, you need a background in animal science or genetics, typically supported by a relevant bachelor's or advanced degree. Experience with genetic analysis software, statistical tools, and familiarity with laboratory techniques and genomic databases is often required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help distinguish professionals in this field. These competencies are vital for advancing breeding programs, improving herd quality, and supporting the livestock industry's productivity and sustainability.

This position requires extensive travel across our west coast region, including California, Oregon, and Washington. Our ideal candidate would be located in California, but we are excited to invite those living in Oregon and southern Washington to apply.

  • Use ultrasonography to:
    • Determine pregnancy status in recipient cows.
    • Evaluate fetal gender in ET and IVF pregnancies.

  • Perform rectal palpations to evaluate the reproductive condition of incoming or backgrounded recipient cows.
  • Ensure rigorous biosecurity compliance and help develop strategies to minimize disease transmission across all environments.
  • Build strong relationship by providing excellent communication to our clients to ensure trust, transparency, and alignment.

Other Skills and Valued Experience:

  • Deep passion for bovine reproduction and a drive for continuous improvement in reproductive technologies.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience in bovine embryo transfer, IVF procedures, and reproductive evaluation strongly preferred.
  • High level of professionalism with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Must possess strong physical stamina and the ability to perform repeated manipulations of the bovine reproductive tract.
  • Excellent hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity, and tactile sensitivity required for delicate procedures.

Professional Services Veterinarian Education & Certification Requirements:

  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree or equivalent from a US accredited institution.
  • Full current accreditation with the USDA – APHIS.
  • Licensure to practice veterinary medicine in applicable states, or the ability to obtain licensure in a timely manner.
