To enjoy this special benefit, Premier member-customers must simply purchase genetics from their sales team member during the designated months. Premier will offer the same superior genetics at the same competitive prices, but when invoices are prepared at the end of the month, a 7 percent credit on all semen purchases will be applied to reduce the total amount due. The only requirement is that accounts must be current on their balance to qualify.

“Our board of directors is always looking to maximize the return on investment that a Premier owner earns from the cooperative,” said Mark Carpenter, CEO of Premier Select Sires. “Earlier this year, they encouraged us to implement this special credit if the company financials allowed us to do so. I am pleased that our strong sales for 2021 have again allowed us to pass along this 7 percent credit.”

The 7 percent credit will provide Premier Select Sires customers an opportunity to purchase semen at an even lower cost and maximize the genetic improvement in the herd. As a farmer-owned cooperative, Premier strives to provide value and benefits to its member-owners through high quality products and services.
