Shawn Fairbairn

General Manager

Shawn’s interest in livestock and agriculture started at a young age. He began his career in the feed industry in 1997 working in Western Canada, as a multi-species livestock nutritionist for Wetaskiwin Co-op and New-Life Mills. In 2011, Shawn joined the newly created Poultry Partners team. The vision to work on producer goals and farm specific programs with veterinarians and management specialists appealed to his problem-solving nature. Over the last ten years Shawn has enjoyed working with the evolving team as they work towards increasing communication and transparency within the poultry industry. Shawn lives in Saskatoon with his wife Jen and their two kids.
