June FunFact:

Did you know? 

99% of Wisconsin dairy farms are family owned!

Although some dairy farms have multiple employees, the vast majority of dairy farms are owned by families.   Dairy farms are very dynamic and need various talents from family members.  Most times, each family member has a portion of the dairy that they manage.  For example, the owner's son may manage the milking parlor because he is an excellent communicator and teacher.  Another family member might have excellent animal husbandry skills and take care of the baby calves.
