 ABS Global<\/a> is pleased to formally welcome and introduce Kieran Howie to the ABS Global Australia team working within our beef team.  Kieran has been working with ABS since February, having hit the ground running with Southern beef weeks, Western Australia bull sales and traveling around the country working with customers and clients.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from\u00a0Manypeaks\u00a0in Western Australia, Kieran joins us from a family beef operation.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cABS\u00a0is one of the most respected AI companies globally; and being in\u00a0the genetics space\u00a0with a company like this is\u00a0a great opportunity\u00a0to work with producers.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cTo me, ABS holds the\u00a0best ability\u00a0at\u00a0sourcing genetics that focus on\u00a0balancing maternal\u00a0and terminal traits for\u00a0both stud and commercial\u00a0breeders.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cABS has always been about the overall industry, not trends or the top 1%.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cWhilst I\u2019m not actively breeding cattle on the farm anymore,\u00a0having the ability to work with, and build a relationship with producers\u00a0to\u00a0breed a sound animal that will perform, and\u00a0achieve their herd goals\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
Kieran\u2019s experience running a commercial beef operation\u00a0complements the beef side of\u00a0ABS\u00a0Global\u00a0Australia.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cKieran\u2019s many years of experience in farming and his extensive knowledge of the Angus breed will hold him in good stead,”\u00a0said Marcus Rees, ABS Australia General Manager.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cAs Kieran\u00a0moves into his\u00a0role with ABS, he\u00a0has all the fundamentals that\u00a0current\u00a0and future\u00a0beef customers will appreciate when\u00a0they\u00a0meet him. I know Kieran will be a fabulous addition to the ABS Australian Beef\u00a0Team,\u00a0I look forward to what the future brings with Kieran up in Queensland.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kieran is located in southern Queensland, looking after the region in addition to Western Australia and New South Wales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kieran\u00a0can be reached via email at\u00a0kieran.howie@genusplc.com<\/a>\u00a0or via phone at 0429\u00a0665\u00a0678.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
