annual event held at Sire Power
headquarters, Tunkhannock.

Highlighting the program was
the unveiling of Almquist’s por
trait, which will hang in the Sire
Power Board room in recognition
of the Distinguished Service
Award. After this presentation,
Almquist spoke about the past,
present, and future of the A.I.
industry. “It has been a joy to be
involved with the development of
NEPA to Sire Power. The support
and teamwork of this A.I.
Cooperative is much appreciated
over the years,” said Almquist.
Almquist continued to reminisce
and speculate on the A.I. industry.
He said there were 97 A.I.

cooperatives in 1950, and today
there are 24 cooperatives. Out of
this 24, only 11 A.I. cooperatives
produce the 90% of semen
marketed.
“A.I. had a hard time coming
about in the early days. People
thought A.I. would produce weak
calves, 6-legged calves, 2 heads,
and even glass ears, because of the
glass breeding rods,” said
Almquist. “But, we have survived
all that, and now we are on the
verge of genetic engineering
through A.I. in embryo transfer,
cloning, and development of super
cows and bulls.” •
He said we have the capacity to
engineer and control the
development of birth. “In about 10
years, frozen, taylor-made em
bryos will be available from your
technician,” said Alqmuist.
Comments were also made on
determining the sex of 6-day-old
embryos with a current accuracy
of 92-94%, and also on the future of
sexing sperm. Almquist concluded
by encouraging the dairymen to
select higher PD bulls from Sire
