Let's Go Digital — Here's Why It Matters

Every year, we mail statements, notices, and updates to keep you informed. It's a service we're glad to offer — but it's also becoming one of our biggest hidden costs.


Last year alone, the CSA spent approximately $33,000 on postage — a 32% increase over the year before. On top of that, our office staff spend roughly one full day every week just processing and preparing physical mail.


That's time and money that could be going toward better member services, faster response times, and other tools you rely on.


That's where you come in.

By switching to digital communications — e-statements, email notices, and online account access — you can help us:

  • Cut unnecessary costs, so resources go further for all members
  • Free up staff time to focus on member service instead of paperwork
  • Get your information faster — no waiting on the mail
  • Reduce paper waste as a bonus for the environment

It only takes a minute to switch.


  • Online users can make the change to Digital only in your online account
  • If you are not an online user please call the office to set this up

NEW - you can now view invoices online.

You used to need to request these from the office, but you can now go in and review or download. 

The CSA is pleased to release the first stages of their enhanced maternal and cowherd reporting features. These new tools can be accessed through your online system using the top menu.


NEW!

My Reports > Herd EPD Trends


The Herd Trend report allows you to view the selection direction of your herd over time and with the new addition of percentile ranks, it can show where your herd fits into the overall Simmental population in Canada. A graphical display can be seen by clicking the Graph button at the bottom of the report. The graph can clearly show the overall progress for each trait in your selection program.

NEW!

My Reports > Calving Distribution


The new Calving Distribution report shows the distribution of calves born throughout the calving season and the overall length of the season. Simply enter the calving year you wish to view. This report can provide insight into herd management and breeding/calving performance. The goal is to have calves born early in the calving season (first or second cycle).


These new reports are designed to provide insight into your cowherd, selection program and management system.
