committee chairman Dave Garber

may influence die upcoming fiscal

two primary objectives: 1. Any
change in relationships must
maintain a governance structure
that allows the principles of
cooperative enterprise...farmer
ownership and control, member
representation and equity distribu
tion...to function; 2. The review
will examine current operations
and determine if efficiencies and
product quality can be enhanced
through a closer working
relationship.
Based on the most recent audit
of each, the five cooperatives have
$47 million in assets. $73 million
in sales and net worth at 76% of
the total assets. Last year they
served nearly 45,000 active mem
bers. Together they own more
than 2,000 sires, housed at nine
locations.
These cooperatives currently
have a product supply agreement
that provides for a complete
exchange of each other’s genetic
material throughout the United
States. Beef and coined dairy
breed genetic development pro
grams are already fully integrated.
