Bio:

BSc (2009) and MSc (2010) from the Department of Animal and Poultry Science. He then moved to Saskatoon and completed his PhD (2016) from the Department of Animal Science. It was there that he began consulting for, and became a partner with, DairySmart Nutrition Group. Upon the completion of his degree program, Dr. Walpole moved back to Southwestern Ontario, and with his DairySmart partners, formed BeefSmart Consulting Inc.  BeefSmart focuses on the management and nutritional assessment of feedlot and cow-calf operations in Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada.  

The Alumni seminar series focuses on Department of Animal Biosciences Alumni and the opportunities & challenges they see in their work in industry.  The goal is for us to reconnect with them professionally, inspire graduate students and to inform all our work with their perspectives 'from the field'.
