Merry Christmas from the All West Family to You! 
We know that 2021 was another challenging year for dairy producers and the world in general. We cannot thank you, our member/owners, enough for trusting our products and services to make your operations successful and we look forward to welcoming the new year with you all. We are also very excited to once again gather in person to celebrate the holiday season as the All West Family! We have already enjoyed several gatherings in Washington and Oregon and look forward to gathering in California in January. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our family to yours! 
Thank you for celebrating with us! 
We have reached the end of our All West/Select Sires 80th Anniversary year celebration!

It all began in 1940 when three dairymen, a veterinarian, and a retired dairy extension specialist sat around a kitchen table in Mount Vernon, WA and discussed the need to establish an artificial insemination cooperative. Their foresight, along with their commitment made this organization a reality.

Since that first cow was bred on Feb. 10, 1941 until now, there have been so many people that truly have made a difference in the progress of All West. Many member/owner directors and delegates have given their time and expertise without personal financial gains, sharing and developing this organization into what it is today. We thank you all for your years of guidance and service.

We hope you have enjoyed following along as we took a stroll down memory lane on our social media channels this year. We are looking forward to the new year ahead and the next 80 years of All West success!
