Select Sires' Jersey Sire Program Hits New Record With More Than One Million Units of Semen Sold

Select Sires is proud to announce that the Jersey sire program hit a new record with the sale of more than one million units of semen in 2011. This milestone is a result of Select Sires' commitment to the growth and development of the Jersey breed. This record-breaking achievement can also be credited to Select Sires' passion for providing their customer-owners with the genetics and services they need to achieve their goals.
