ALLIED GENETIC RESOURCES
The seedstock business offers only two important value propositions: Genetic Improvement and Customer Service. The owner/members of Allied Genetic Resources understand this as well as anyone in the genetics business, and that is why Allied works with this committed group in an effort to enhance both important areas. Chosen for their combined reputation for value and service, these producers truly understand that if their customers are profitable in the long term, they have the greatest potential to be successful as well.
 
They call this their “Full Circle” approach to the beef business. Valuable and ever improving genetics for the commercial beef industry is the foundation. Built around profit potential and simplicity, the nearly 80 independent Allied owners design, build and then service genetic products that set the industry standard for value. In all, more than 6000 commercial bulls will be marketed by this group with a coast to coast spread of suppliers and customers. With multiple options for designed, composited and purebred seedstock developed in nearly every production environment, you can be assured of consistent supply backed by years of successful experience breeding and marketing genetics.
Once the foundation is secured, crucial customer services set our business apart. Allied is designed to work with the customer base of our owner/members. Without advanced service, selected genetics can still fall short of expectation. Everyone involved with Allied Genetic Resources is committed to making sure the customer comes first, maximizing the opportunity to benefit from good choices and quality relationships. Commercial producers all across America are choosing to work more closely with the Allied team because they know we work for them. Whether it is accessing genetics designed for your program’s success, assistance with proven commercial marketing options, strategic alignment with the beef business, or even developing long term strategies, the simple mission of Allied staff is commercial customer success.

COW COUNTRY NEWS
Cultivated Meat Law Passes Arizona House Committee
According to Meating Place, The Arizona House Committee on Land, Agriculture and Rural Affairs voted in favor of House Bill 2244, which would make it illegal to label a product that is not derived from livestock or poultry as “meat.” The 6-3 vote was championed by Rep. Quang Nguyen, who says the FDA's labeling requirements for cultivated meat are "not enough" to prevent consumer confusion. A second Arizona House bill, proposed by Rep. David Marshall, was set to be discussed on Monday, but Rep. Marshall withdrew the measure from consideration while he worked on amendments. That bill would institute a total ban on production and sale of cultivated meat in the state. House Bill 2244 will now be brought before the entire House for approval.
 
Cultivated Meat Flagged As Threat To Genetic IP
Meating Place says that although animal proteins cultivated outside the animal itself are far from being readily available to consumers, players in the animal ag industry are looking at the horizon and see a potential threat to the decades of investment in improved livestock genetics.
 
“What can potentially happen is [cultivated meat] companies can isolate cell lines from animals, which they then will use to grow their lab-grown meat products and basically piggyback on all of the work that these seedstock producers have done,” said Michael Gonda, livestock genetics professor at South Dakota State University, in an interview with AgWeek.
 
As yet, no mechanism has been drawn up for compensating producers for the investment in their genetic lines.
 
“All these companies need is a handful of animals to collect these cell lines from and so there are not a lot of protections there for [the] producers,” Gonda said.
 
“It’s probably two, three, four years down the road, but the rules need to be made now because if we wait that long, we are already going to be behind,” Todd Wilkinson, president of National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and cattle producer from De Smet, S.D., told AgWeek.
