Online User Support: Requesting Buyer Numbers from the CSA Office
For those Online users that have held registration papers for Online transfer, you may have to periodically ask us to provide you with the buyer numbers in order to transfer the animal(s). Especially since a large number of buyers are non-members (Commercial producers) and this information is not available using the Pedigree Search option.
It is important to submit the form completely as any missing information can delay the CSA office from sending you a reply. When completing the Name entry-field, please include the First and Last name. *** Please do not indicate "General Delivery" for the address as a complete mailing address is required.
**Note:
When requesting buyer numbers only one request per individual buyer is necessary. The CSA Registry staff will address your requests as they arrive in the
[email protected]
inbox. Therefore, if your requests are sent after 4:00pm (MDT - Mountain Daylight Time), you will receive an email reply the following business day.
Duplicate Certificates of Registration
In the event a Certificate of Registration is lost or destroyed, a duplicate Certificate of Registration may be issued upon receipt by the Association of a declaration prepared by the registered owner, showing to the satisfaction of the Association that the original Certificate of Registration was in fact, lost or destroyed.
The form can be found on the website under Forms, Duplicate Certificate.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF SIMMENTAL IN CANADA!
50th Anniversary Celebratory Events
It's hard to believe that it's been 50 years since the first Simmental bull, Parisien, was imported to Canada. This was an event that created history and changed the Canadian Beef Industry. Since then, the Simmental breed has been a tremendous success story as it has progressed into becoming one of the most influential beef cattle breeds in North America.
Simmental breeders from across Canada are preparing to celebrate our 50th Anniversary during these events. Be sure to mark your calendar and plan to join the excitement!
