Update from AMS Regarding COVID-19
March 23, 2020
As we monitor the rapidly evolving situation around coronavirus (COVID-19), we are making adjustments to continue to serve you, our clients, and prioritize the safety and well-being of our staff. With our auctions and sales being internet-based, we are continuing forward with normal operation. Our staff is working remotely from home and staying safe during this time of uncertainty. They can still be contacted using the information below and we encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Steve is continuing to work out of the Hudson office as long as he is able to, keeping embryos and semen moving. This is also dependent on the status of UPS and FedEx operations. International shipments may see a delay due to a decreased number of flights available. Some countries may see larger delays due to the closure of their National Veterinary Departments and the inability to ship there at this time. In these cases, we will closely monitor the situation, communicate to the best of our ability and ship as soon as possible.
Please reach out to one of our staff with any questions. We look forward to continuing to work with you during this time.
