More Growth Expected in 2015

After completing another successful year, the WestGen group of companies is poised for continued growth in 2015. This growth is only possible with the strong support from producers across Western Canada. We are your company and continue to push forward with initiatives that gain our members access to technologies that will help keep the west at the forefront.

In this edition of the Bullseye, you will read that over 100 donors have now been serviced through Boviteq West. Further, I’m pleased to report that the results being achieved at Boviteq West are extremely good and those strong results will serve to convince others of its value. It is but one example, but a poignant one to illustrate that WestGen exists to pioneer and is different from other semen companies operating in Western Canada.

As an owner in the Semex Alliance, we see continued expansion and growth on the international front as well. Top quality genetic products are a given, but consultative tools like SemexWorks help set this brand apart around the world and here at home. As owners of this company through your ownership of WestGen, you should indeed be very proud.

WestGen has created its aggressive path for growth with your board and senior management team recently establishing the company’s strategic 10 year plan. While there is more to be added, the framework within which we will operate has been established. Included in that plan is transition into our new home on Angus Campbell road in Abbotsford. Concept plans continue to be developed and a date for construction will be decided in the near future.

Christmas is a time to give thanks and this year more than ever we recognize not one but 70 years of commitment and dedication. WestGen is Canada’s oldest AI Company owned and directed by the Dairy and Beef producers of Western Canada. The past 70 years much like the last one have brought success and challenges to the business and through this all we remain committed and focused on our customers. Our company values, our esteemed customers, our valued partners and incredible staff are what fuel our growth and success. I’d like to take this opportunity to take a pause and say thank you, to each and every one of you who have joined us on our journey as a director, staff member or customer. It is the spirit of teamwork and working together in partnership that allows us to enjoy success.

On behalf of WestGen I wish you and your loved ones the very best in 2015, and I thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to grow in to the future. We couldn’t do it without you.
