REGISTRY

THE HERD LETTER FOR 2016 IS "D"

Online User Support: Requesting Buyer Numbers from the CSA Office
We would like to commend our Online Users for the impeccable detail that is demonstrated when submitting their "Requests For Buyer Numbers". While processing your requests we have noticed that some users are submitting multiple requests for the same buyer. Only one request per individual buyer is necessary. The CSA Registry staff process your requests as they arrive in the cansim@simmental.com  inbox. Therefore, if your requests are sent after 4:00pm (MDT - Mountain Daylight Time), you will receive an email reply the following day.

Submitting Non-Simmentals
When submitting Non-Simmentals you do not have to fill out the Import Application.  If you have the SNP Breeder Copy from the required Lab send that along with the pedigree that you had submitted.
