Challenging Times.
As with many businesses, ASA is not currently fully-staffed, and are experiencing staff who are out because of COVID. We have dedicated employees who will assist you in as expedient manner as possible; however, response and turn-around for completion of work may be longer than you normally experience. At times you may experience delays in reaching us by phone. If possible, please email your requests to: simmental@simmgene.com for registration and data collection, and dna@simmgene.com for DNA. Please be patient and courteous when contacting and working with staff.
Don’t hesitate to get to know your region candidates and vote for the candidate that you feel will best represent you and work in the best interest of the American Simmental Association. Click here to read campaign letters.
