Burlington, WA-All-West Select Sires is
pleased to announce the addition of Rodney Paulo to the team as a Dairy
Programs Specialist. In this role, Rodney
will be doing direct-herd sales, and also evaluating cows and providing
profitable reproductive recommendations to All West member/owners through the
Select Mating Service (SMS) Program. “My goal in this
new position and role within All West/Select Sires is to use my knowledge,
expertise and experience to help others achieve their breeding goals. I also hope my familiarity with the
genomic/genetic formulas and how sire stacks and cow families transmit can help
others with their decisions on how best to use the products available from All West.”
Rodney has been a vital member of the California dairy industry for years. A former high individual at the California
FFA Judging Competition in 1985, Rodney attended Cal Poly before he and his
brother, Ed, took over the family operation of Paulo-Bro Holsteins &
Jerseys in Hanford, CA. A
nationally-respected herd, Paulo-Bro Holsteins & Jerseys have sent several
bulls to A.I. and participated in three, high-profile Top 10 Breeders Sales, as
well as hosting The Pinnacle of Paulo-Bro Sales in 2008, 2012 and 2013. Paulo-Bro has bred almost 300 homebred
Excellent cows and close to 1500 Very Good cows over the years, including
Paulo-Bro-SP Shar-Red, the Res. All-American 5-Year-Old Red Cow for 2014 and
Paulo-Bro Damion Candle, the Res. Grand Champion of the Western Spring National
in Utah.
“As a dairyman, my breeding objective was always to breed every cow
for a resulting calf that is better and more profitable than its dam was. I will carry that passion into my daily work
with All West customers!”
Prior to starting with the company in July, Rodney served on the All
West/Select Sires Executive Board for two years, and before that was both a
delegate and director for his cooperative district. He and his wife, Kari, have two grown children; daughter Lacee (26) and son Shae (24).
