"Agriculture is a challenging industry with tight margins. Those who choose to lead will prosper," remarks David Thorbahn, Select Sires General Manager. "Both organizations bring genetic staying power, financial clout and skilled people to the merger. Collectively we can now offer an even greater genetic advantage in providing our membership the industry's best genetics and services at competitive prices."

"Select Sires is a strong, innovative company that continues to grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of its membership. We are now, without a doubt, the largest A.I. organization in the U.S. We're large enough to serve and, through our 10 member co-ops, small enough to know each of our customers individually," stresses Thorbahn.

"VA-NC/Select Sires has always taken pride in offering quality service as an added feature to superior genetics. In addition to top genetics, our priorities are insemination training, mating services, quality products, and reproductive trouble shooting," comments Wayne Dudley, Manager of VA-NC/Select Sires and now Select Sire Power. "As we expand our service area, we pledge to further the tradition of genetic excellence and look forward to the continuing goal of helping dairy and beef producers succeed."

"Looking at them in the past as a regional competitor, VA-NC/Select Sires has long been an effective, efficient member of the Select Sires federation. Like Sire Power, their focus has been on providing their membership the highest quality genetics, products, and services," comments DuWayne Kutz, who has led Sire Power for 19 years. "There are many similarities between our services and programs. Sire Power's management and Board feel very compatible with both Select and VA-NC. Throughout these negotiations we have felt an honest, strong spirit of developing a 'win-win' relationship for all parties. Merging with them develops a financially strong operation with tremendous sales potential and proven management leadership that will treat current and future members equitably and fairly."
