Dairy Events

Clark County is #1 in the state for number of dairy farms. The approximately 638 dairy farms house over 66,000 head of milking dairy cows. Our dairy farms range in size from small family farms with 50 or less milking cows to large LLC farms housing thousands of milking cows.

Check with Heather Schlesser, Dairy Educator for upcoming programming and to be added to her email group for dairy educational programs.

Pasture Walk

Pasture Walk is a one day event hosted by Clark County Extension at a local farm. Participants receive information on farming practices related to organic dairy farming with a grazing emphasis.

Goat Meeting

Goat production is a growing industry in Central Wisconsin. To meet the needs of small ruminant farmers, Clark County Extension strives to host annual goat education meetings. No meetings are scheduled at this time. Please check back at a later date.
