BARABOO, WI - Two well known A.I. organizations will join forces this summer.

The board of directors for Select Sires Inc., and Accelerated Genetics reached a unanimous decision to unify the two cooperatives. Under the planned agreement, Select Sires will acquire the assets of Accelerated Genetics, joining together employees and independent sales representatives in each of their geographical member organizations.

This decision coincides with an already collaborative business relationship that began in 2001, where each shares ownership of World Wide Sires, Ltd. World Wide Sires serves as the international marketing arm for both companies in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania.

On June 22, 2017, Accelerated Genetics delegates will come together to cast the final vote on the direction of the cooperative. The goal is to create a unified cooperative that is second-to-none in the market place dedicated to the producer, according to company officials.

This impending endeavor is expected to create a well-rounded genetics program and solution-based animal health care product line that will fit the needs of dairy and beef producers worldwide. Producers can expect to continue working with highly qualified, passionate individuals, who know and understand the cattle breeding industry.

Based in Plain City, OH, Select Sires Inc. is North Americas largest A.I. organization and is comprised of nine farmer-owned and -controlled cooperatives
