Ryan Boldt Joins International Genetics Solutions As Lead Geneticist
Mon, 24 Oct 2022 09:07:32 CDT
Boldt currently works as director of breed improvement for the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA), and will balance both roles for the next eight months as he transitions to the full-time position with IGS. Boldt has been an active participant in educating the RAAA membership about genetics, EPD, and breeding programs. He has written numerous magazine articles and given many in-person presentations all across the US.
ASA CEO Dr. Wade Shafer shared, “We greatly appreciate Dr. Culbertson’s contribution as IGS’s Lead Geneticist for the last two years. She certainly embodies the IGS vision and has advanced our position in the industry. We wish Randie well and plan to continue to work with her while in her new position at Iowa State. She is turning the position over to someone who is eminently qualified to fill the role - Ryan Boldt. Given the fact that Ryan has worked with IGS during his entire tenure (over four years) at RAAA, he is sure to hit the ground running. We have had our eye on Ryan since even before his tenure at RAAA. It has been a privilege to have had a front seat in watching the development of this young geneticist over the last four years - a view that only solidified our interest in him. We have no doubt that he will be a valuable contributor to the IGS mission. I sincerely thank and commend RAAA for their willingness to selflessly support and encourage Ryan to join the IGS team in the Lead Geneticist role. It confirms their belief in the IGS vision and, consequently, their commitment to the beef industry. We truly value the RAAA/ASA partnership.”
