Aled Edwards takes on the world

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Limousin breeder Aled Edwards, from Home Farm, Cilycwm, Llandovery has become the first British breeder to be elected as World Limousin President.  He was unanimously elected by delegates, representing over 20 international Limousin associations, at the 18th International Limousin Council AGM held recently in the conference centre of the Bank of Florence, Tuscany. 

 

Aled becomes only the third World Limousin President in the 35 year history of the International Limousin Council and takes over from Beppe Pantaleoni, Piacenza, Italy who stood down from the position he had held since 1998. 

 

In 2007, he was elected European Limousin President and is a former Chairman of the British Limousin Cattle Society, a position he held for four years.

 

Aled told delegates that the Council's founding principles must continue to be pursued: "The focus will be to work together to embrace and utilize the most modern breed improvement  technologies and provide Limousin breeders in established cattle populations, and in developing markets, with the genetic tools and resources that are both practical and profitable to beef cattle producers."
