The results were just as impressive as the many thousands of commercially collected carcass records in Select Sires’ ProfitSOURCE database. Lauren Kimble, manager of ProfitSOURCE supply chains, talked with Texas Tech University Professor and Gordon W.

MEET OUR PROFITSOURCE PARTNERS

Calf ranches, feedlots and packers interested in source-veriﬁed, high quality ProﬁtSOURCE calves have established partnerships with Select Sires. ProﬁtSOURCE Partners may vary depending on geography, size of dairies, ownership arrangements, breed preferences, genetic criteria and end product targets.

Dairy producers with an interest in growing their beef x dairy calves to middle weight (450lbs - 600lbs), can send their ProfitSOURCE-sired cattle direct to Friona Industries.

GeneNet offers direct grid access to producers raising their ProfitSOURCE cattle to finish. As an added bonus, producers will receive group and individual carcass data back as part of this unique market access opportunity.

TD Beef’s exclusive partnership with Select Sires requires the use of elite terminal bulls selected for their program. Access to the program is contingent upon calf pickup logistics. Producers will be offered a premium for day-old calves, but must agree to utilize Select Sires for all their beef and dairy genetic inputs.

SimVitro® HerdFlex® embryos are a new approach to generating high performance beef calves. With this IVF solution, you can get full-beef calves that have calving ease and deliver value through improved feed efficiency, rate of gain, ribeye area and marbling.

Power Genetics is acquiring calves from dairies utilizing qualified SimAngus™ sires to breed purebred Holstein cows. They transport them to calf ranches, on to Power Genetics’ feed yards and ultimately to Cargill Meat Solutions.
