As of January 1st 2012, our new order forms will reflect the QST increase to 9,5%. The forms are now available in the bovine, ovine and cervid sections.
The new order forms will also be included with your next tag shipment.
Should you require tags the New Year, please note that our offices will be closed from Friday, December 23rd, at noon, until Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012, at 7:30 a.m.
It is already time for ovine producers to prepare the necessary material for the end of 2011 and early 2012, in terms of identifying their animals. Therefore, farmers using tags with a letter for the year on their ovine identifiers have until Friday, December 2nd, 2011 to order and pay for letter "Y" tags (2011).
Producers can order their letter "Z" tags (2012) as of Monday, December 5th, 2011 by contacting our Customer Service.
The current location of reading panels in auctions causes a reading problem with FDX electronic chips. Auctioneers noted a high rate of illegible FDX electronic chips. Adjustments are currently made on panels.
Until the problem is solved, ATQ temporarily suspends the sale of FDX electronic chips. Therefore, identifiers ordered by bovine producers will contain HDX electronic chips.
We will keep you informed of any new development.
The 2010-2011 corporate activity report is now available in the "Publications" section.
