From Farm to Food Banks

As a Canadian, farmer-owned company, we care about and invest in the communities that we live and work in. At this time of need, we feel the responsibility to use our resources to assist those who need help to access food as we navigate through the impacts of COVID-19.

For every dose of semen purchased from the sires listed below, we will donate $1.00 to assist food banks in their efforts to relieve hunger and support families in need within our communities.

We thank our farmer-owners for your essential service each and every day as you meet the growing demand to feed Canadians in a time of crisis.
#weareallinthistogether

We will donate $1.00 from the sale of these sires to feed Canadians in need. Promotion runs until May 31, 2020.
