Frequently Asked Questions
Program Overview
What breeds will be offered in the Alta EDGE program?
Elite Holstein and Jersey sires are offered through the Alta EDGE program. Depending on current genetics, both breeds may not always be represented on the program.
What can I expect from enrollment in the Alta EDGE program?
Alta commits to grant Alta EDGE program clients the highest priority in semen allocation from these elite-level sires. Alta cannot assure the timeliness of fulfilling any orders placed through this program, as product inventory and availability cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, Alta outlines its commitment should the company choose to exercise the option to purchase any progeny in accordance with the terms and conditions as defined in the Alta EDGE program agreement.
How long is the duration of the Alta EDGE program?
The Alta EDGE agreement is renewed every two years. However, any resulting offspring or embryos from Alta EDGE sires are subject to the terms outlined in the agreement in place when the semen was purchased.
Sire Selection & Availability
Which sires are designated to Alta EDGE? Where can I find this information?
Alta will regularly designate sires to the Alta EDGE program. These sires will be marketed in North America under the terms and conditions of the contract with the program clients. When new sires are added to the Alta EDGE program, that information will be updated on the Alta EDGE web page.
If I am enrolled in the Alta EDGE program, am I guaranteed to get semen from the Alta EDGE sires that I want?
Semen on bulls designated as Alta EDGE sires can only be purchased if you/your dairy has a signed agreement in good standing with Alta. A signed agreement does not guarantee availability of Alta EDGE sires, since we cannot guarantee production levels. However, your signed Alta EDGE agreement grants you the highest priority access to receive available semen.
Eligibility & Enrollment
Why is Alta requiring specific contracts for this program?
The Alta EDGE program provides key customers with priority access to bulls that Alta expects to be significant contributors and high-impact sires for the breed. Normally the AI industry would designate these sires as “mating sires,” meaning that semen from these bulls would be reserved from the market and experience a long delay in terms of commercial availability. A contract agreement enables Alta to release semen to interested dairy producers much sooner and more widely with clear terms and conditions for all parties.
How do I enroll?
You can enroll by working with your Alta advisor to sign the Alta EDGE contract, filling out the contact form linked here. You may also reach out to us at AltaEDGE@altagenetics.com.
Pricing & Payment
How much will I pay per unit of semen?
The price of all Alta EDGE sires will depend on the availability and demand for their genetics. Please speak with your Alta advisor or email us at AltaEDGE@altagenetics.com.
Semen Ordering & Delivery
How will I get the semen?
Customer Service will notify your Alta advisor once the order has been fulfilled and make arrangements for delivery. All Alta EDGE semen will either be delivered by your local Alta advisor or shipped directly from an Alta Genetics warehouse to the dairy that has signed the agreement and placed the order. A delivery notice from the third-party delivery service will constitute validation that the semen purchased was delivered to you.
Offspring & Usage Restrictions
What restrictions will be set upon the offspring?
Details of all restrictions agreed upon regarding all Alta EDGE offspring are specifically outlined in the Alta EDGE agreement. If you have any questions, please email us at AltaEDGE@altagenetics.com
Am I allowed to sell offspring or embryos produced from an Alta EDGE sire?
Details of all restrictions agreed upon regarding all Alta EDGE offspring are specifically outlined in the Alta EDGE agreement. If you have questions, please email us at AltaEDGE@altagenetics.com.
