ShowMe Genetic Services LLC announces its purchase of the Genex Custom Collection facility, Strafford, Mo., from Genex Cooperative. The agreement was finalized Oct. 18, 2019.

Locally owned and operated by the Steven and Jamie Rogers family, ShowMe Genetic Services LLC will focus on custom semen collection, freezing, semen and embryo storage, shipping, liquid nitrogen tank refills, and retail sales of artificial insemination breeding supplies. ShowMe Genetic Services is accredited through Certified Semen Services, which allows the collection, freezing and shipment of bull semen for export. At capacity, the facility can house 78 bulls.

“We are dedicated to serving the agriculture industry,” said Steven Rogers. “We hope to help farmers and ranchers succeed by adding value to the beef industry, and the purchase of the Genex Custom Collection facility in Strafford is a natural fit for us.”

ShowMeGenetic Services plans to retain the current staff in the day-to-day business operations to maintain the highest level of customer service and satisfaction to provide a seamless management transition.

“We are proud to serve our fellow cattle producers here in the heart of cow-calf country as they continue to improve the genetic base of their operations,” Rogers said.
