The Premier Pioneer, Spring 2019

Page 1

SPRING 2019 Premier Select Sires, Inc. was formed on January 1, 2019 as the result of a merger combining Southeast Select Sires and Select Sire Power. These two cooperatives each had a rich history of providing leading beef and dairy genetics, high-quality herd management products and valuable services to their member-owners. The boards of directors for Southeast Select Sires and Select Sire Power felt that combining forces would be a beneficial venture for all parties involved, and within weeks of the merger, our experiences proved that we are in many ways “better together.�

Join us as we celebrate our heritage and look forward to our future!
