Sarah Ethier is a graduate of both Lethbridge College and the University of Saskatchewan Animal Science programs. Sarah joined Prairie Swine Centre Inc. after graduation as a research technician in the Ethology department. This valuable experience helped build a strong understanding of excellent animal husbandry practices which are critical to animal care, and are a particular asset to AI boar production.

Her time managing a large sheep farm operation provided hands-on experience in the unique challenges livestock and Manitoba weather can have on buildings and environmental control systems.

In her role as Carlo Genetics’ Operations Manager, Sarah brings a passion to animal husbandry, a drive to assure employee safety, and a keen interest in the real-world application of science and technology into everyday agriculture.
