SERVICES SPECIALIST?
learn what they are looking for in their cows, what they like or dislike about the cows they are currently milking, and what goals they have for down the road for their operations. This helps me, as the RSS, to help make the best possible animals for the next generation.
PROFESSIONALISM & ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Timeliness, cleanliness, and effective communication are important to RSSs. No two farms are alike, so an RSS’s approach to each farm may be different.
Emily: My goal is to always provide value to the farm and be an asset to their operation. It is important to build relationships and trust. I get to be on most of my farms at least once a week, so that allows me the opportunity to talk with the farmers and troubleshoot any reproductive issues they may be having. This could be anything from taking a feed sample to test for toxins, setting up a meeting with one of our reproductive specialists, or bringing in a product specialist. When I am not breeding, I am checking my inventory and planning for the next order—researching new bulls and picking the best genetics for my farms, taking extra time to talk and check in with my farmers, keeping myself up-todate with the resources Premier provides, and reading about the products Premier has to offer.
Passion
There are some qualities that can’t be taught, and passion is one of them. Our RSS team has a passion for both cows and people!
Emily: I love getting to work within an industry that I have always been passionate about, and I enjoy partnering with my customers and sharing a common goal of helping the farm succeed. I also work with a great team that I can lean on, and that gives me the confidence to tell my customers that even if I don’t know something in the moment, I know someone who will have the answer, and that I can get back to the customer with the information they need. I feel like I am able to make a difference in the farms I serve, and that is something I want to continue to do.
