Supply chain issues are affecting many products, including livestock identification devices. Shortage of raw material and staff absenteeism at manufacturing plants are now creating some noticeable delays. CDMV (CCIA’s distributor) is receiving some shipments periodically, but as the busy calving season is upon us, demand is exceeding availability for some products.
It is important to remember to place your order on the CCIA Webstore even if your selected products show as ‘Back Order”. By placing your order, you secure your priority in the queue, and it will be filled as soon as there is availability. Or you may want to consider another approved tag that is in stock right now. Consult the CCIA Tag-and-Tag-Accessories-Catalogue.pdf catalogue for alternative options.
Also, please note to ensure fair distribution, some products are subject to a weekly purchase limitation for an undetermined period.
