Thank you to the dairymen and women who care for the cattle, tend to the land and dedicate their lives to produce milk!

Cow Camp: Our team had a busy June Dairy Month! First, team members Carson Hillberg, Mario Limon, Geneva McCall and Matt Parreira represented All West/Select Sires while providing a fun and interactive learning experience for the youth who attended California Holstein Association’s “Cow Camp” at Fresno State University. With the help of our team, participants practiced proper semen handling and even got to thaw semen and take a look at it under microscopes!

National Jersey Convention: We ended this month of celebrating all things dairy by taking in “The Oregon View” while attending the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc. Annual Meetings! The Select Sires family was well represented with team members from All West, Select Sires Jerseys and Premier Select Sires. Inc. touring the pastures of All West Territory.
