At Trans Ova Genetics, our mission is to multiply success® by helping clients unlock the full potential of their herds. For dairy producers, that means having trusted advisors who can provide not just technical expertise, but also practical insight into herd management, reproduction programs, and long-term genetic strategies.
That’s where our Dairy Consultants come in.
What Do Dairy Consultants Do?
Our dairy consultants are dedicated to bringing value specifically to dairies. They work alongside producers to:
- Offer guidance on the IVF process — from the very first questions through the finer details of implementation.
- Review herd reproduction programs and suggest adjustments that may improve conception rates.
- Help evaluate which animals to use as donors versus recipients to optimize both financial and genetic gain.
- Provide strategic insights into how advanced reproductive tools can support herd goals and long-term profitability.
- In short, the consultants combine science, strategy, and industry know-how to help dairies reach their next level of success.

Seth Carpenter | Lead Dairy Consultant
Seth lives in Vermont with his wife Bethany and their two children, McKenzie and Briar. He has spent his professional career working with dairy producers to provide information, resources, and solutions that drive profitability and performance.
Seth has been with Trans Ova for 3.5 years, first serving as Regional Business Manager for the East region before transitioning into his current role as Lead Dairy Consultant in May of 2024.

Chelsea Abbott | Dairy Consultant (West)
Chelsea grew up in Vermont with Holstein show cows and went on to study Dairy Science at Virginia Tech before earning her Master’s in Dairy Reproduction from the University of Tennessee. After graduation, she worked as a reproduction consultant covering much of the East Coast, from New England down to Pennsylvania and across to Michigan.
Five years ago, Chelsea relocated to Montana, where she worked as a guide for an outfitter. While she enjoyed the adventure, she missed the dairy industry. Fortunately, she found her way back — and has been with Trans Ova for the past year as a Dairy Consultant. Chelsea’s favorite part of her role is helping dairies recognize the genetic potential within their herd and equipping them with the tools to achieve their goals.
Jake Jantz | Dairy Consultant (Plains)
Jake serves as the Dairy Consultant for the Plains region. A lifelong resident of the Midwest, he has spent much of his time in the High Plains. His passion for dairy runs deep — inspired by his grandparents and four generations of family dairymen.
Originally from central Kansas, Jake pursued his passion at Kansas State University, where he earned a B.S. in Animal Science in 2017. Following graduation, he gained experience in the A.I. and DHI industries, first as a Genetic Consultant and later as a Learning and Development Specialist.
