While the greatest variables affecting pregnancy rates are the accuracy of heat detection, inseminator technique and other management factors, looking at fertility values of individual sires can help. For years Select Sires has placed the SUPERIOR SETTLER™ designation on sires that meet stringent requirements for semen fertility. Trust Select Sires as your source of highly fertile semen and balanced genetics - because you want more than just a pregnancy.

Select Sires has designated the following as Superior Settlers based on a combination of their current semen quality and historic fertility data.
