The Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society has appointed Robert Gilchrist as its new Chief Executive Officer. Robert joined the society as the breed development manager last year and has recently been acting CEO since Barrie Turner’s resignation last year.

Previously Robert worked as a farm advisor and has stated that he is keen to drive the potential that genomics offers to the breed: “I’d like to raise more awareness of the value of using BREEDPLAN and EBV’s paired with the right genetics to help produce consistently top-quality beef.”
