Ohio-Based Select Sires and Five Local Member Cooperatives to Become One

Thursday, June 3rd, 2021 -- 8:07 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) The Ohio-based Select Sires Inc. and its five local member cooperatives that operate throughout the country will come together as one under a new plan unveiled by the company this week.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, once approved by delegates from each of the co-ops, the newly formed entity would be called Select Sires Cooperative Inc., which will provide animal genetic products and milk testing services.

"The decision to unify is going to be a pivotal force for Select Sires. We have had a tremendous history of success, but we can't lean on our laurels," said Select Sires Board Chairperson Dorothy Harms. "We must move forward, look to the future and make changes to secure our position as the industry leader."

Supporters of the move say unification will provide many benefits, such as continued customer-owner membership and patronage programs. The individual ventures that currently run separately include West/Select Sires, CentralStar Cooperative Inc., COBA/Select Sires Inc., Select Sires MidAmerica Inc., and Minnesota Select Sires Co-op, Inc.
