CentralStar Member-Stockowners
Become a CentralStar Member-Stockowner
As a member-stockowner, you have a stake in the success and direction of the cooperative. As a stock-based cooperative, membership isn’t automatic, it’s a choice you make. With 2026 bylaw updates, membership is now open nationwide
Membership requirements
- Be a dairy or beef producer in the continental U.S.
- Do business with CentralStar
- Meet the minimum annual purchase requirement. The current level is $1,000 for the fiscal year (October 1 – September 30).
- Maintain a current account balance
- Purchase one share of common stock in the cooperative
Outside Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin?
CentralStar’s Select Sires-exclusive distribution area is limited to Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Producers outside this area can become member-owners but must continue to purchase genetics, A.I.-technician service, and CowManager® through their local Select Sires cooperative.
Other products and services, including DHI and diagnostics, are available nationwide and count toward your annual purchase requirement.
