Records of an organization formed February 16, 1945 for the purpose of improving the dairy herds of members through a better breeding program, chiefly through artificial insemination. The membership at times numbered almost 1500. The organization, which had its offices at Rochester, and after 1950, at Union Grove, was dissolved August 7, 1974.

The records include a folder of legal papers, containing articles of incorporation, by-laws, and articles of dissolution; fragmentary correspondence; and minutes of board of directors' and special meetings. Also present are financial records, chiefly audit reports, a few financial and operating statements, and tax returns. A separate volume lists names and addresses of members, and gives the amounts of the financial transactions.
