Former top hockey goalie Kris Westblom joins CBS Bio Platforms helping farmers transition to a new era
Calgary, ALBERTA – As farmers face-off against new challenges to raise livestock profitably and sustainably, they’ll have a new ally helping them shut-out top obstacles and establish winning strategies with innovations in feed technology.
Former top hockey goaltender Kris Westblom has joined CBS Bio Platforms as part of the new business development and customer support team, helping farmers across cattle, swine and poultry sectors. A key focus for Westblom will be assisting customers with the adoption of new tools that fit the trend toward making stronger use of natural bio-based ingredients and processes that fit strategies for improved efficiency and antimicrobial stewardship.
Championing innovations at the farm level
After a successful Western Hockey League and minor pro career with highlights that included facing down Sidney Crosby, teaming with Shea Weber and earning a WHL championship, Westblom has returned to his agricultural roots in a post-hockey career that has included several positions working directly with farmers.
