SCR News

Instructions from Brian Weaver

For now, until SCR gets their web site updated, what I did for all you folks out there who do not have EXCEL, is I made a couple of links for you to click on to be able to bring up the pages that allows you to fill out the testing information and print it off or just print it off and fill it out by hand .

Whether you choose to fill it out on the computer or write it out by hand you will have to print it off and sign it and mail it to the Stockman's Resource Center as we are not allowing it to go directly to them from ACS.

If SCR wants the information sent to them electronically from their web site, that will have to be done by them when their site gets it updated.

NOTICE: If you choose to fill out the information on the computer and then print that information out, when you are ready to close the page it will ask you if you want to save the changes made to the form. Say NO.

It won't effect me if you say YES but it will try to update the form and try to put it somewhere on your hard drive.

Again, say NO. Then if you need to do more later it will be blank and you won't be sending in duplicate information.

Here are the two links for you to use to send information to Stockman's Resource Center :

Words from Stockman's Resource Center, LLC, Eddyville, IA

Dear Brian and ACS Readers,

We have be getting many calls from people wanting to know if we are testing for NH. YES, we are now accepting samples! We expect the same great turn around time that we experience with AM tests, however, keep in mind that this is a new test and many, many people will be sending samples all at once.   If results are taking longer than expected, we will let you know.

Our NH and AM/NH Combination test prices are as follows:

       NH                1-5 Samples     6-10 Samples     11-50 Samples      50+ Samples
                             $22.00              $21.00                 $20.00                    $19.00

      AM/NH          1-5 Samples     6-10 Samples     11-50 Samples      50+ Samples
      Combined     $38.00              $37.00                  $36.00                   $35.00

We have the submission and customer information forms updated and can email or mail them to anyone who needs them. Just email or call us and we will be glad to get them right out.

Our website still needs to be updated. Currently, the forms on the website are just for AM. We hope to get them updated yet this weekend. Our prices should post on the home page of the website this weekend sometime. Please keep checking www.stockmansresource.com to view the updates.

Many of you have sent samples for us to hold in anticipation of the NH (hydro) test. If we do not contact you within the next couple of days about your samples, but sure to contact us so we can get them sent on. If you have already tested for AM through Stockman's, the lab is not charging to retrieve archived samples. If there is sufficient DNA remaining, they can use it to do the NH test.

Give us a call if you have any questions concerning the AM or NH defects or the testing of these defects. We will do our best to help!
