A
global company, Select Sires, Inc. is dedicated to enhancing the productivity and profitability of dairy and beef producers. But, the beauty of Select Sires’ structure here in the U.S. is that it is comprised of nine farmer owned and controlled cooperatives that are focused on the local needs of their own members. As customer-owners of Minnesota Select Sires Co-op, Inc., you expect your cooperative to profitably serve your herd’s genetic development and reproductive needs. We are built to serve the type of producers that expect results--the best their available dollars can buy. AND we do it with local expertise, local employees who are part of your community, working together for strong beef and dairy industries in Minnesota and North Dakota. 2015’s business year is much stronger than anticipated. This is a great sign that our customers’ businesses have remained healthy following a year like 2014. You’ll find the growth of the Coop this year is coming very strongly from both dairy and beef customers. Our professional service teams are hard at work heat detecting and inseminating while our genetic and reproductive technical experts are providing
additional guidance. We’ve also seen a strong continued investment in cow monitoring systems and this year the CowManager system is leading the charge. I’m extremely proud to be part of the growing number of individuals that are making success happen every day. With 55 passionate, dedicated employees, your cooperative is strong, growing and local.
