SPRING DAIRY TOUR
4-H youth dairy project members and leaders … As the Regional Dairy Educator, I’d like to invite you to the annual Spring Dairy Tour. This year’s tour will be at Hillrose Holsteins in Sherwood and MilkSource Genetics in Kaukauna. You can attend one or both locations, but it is highly encouraged to attend both sites since they are gracious enough to host us. You’ll see high-quality cattle at both sites! This will be a drive-yourself tour this year, so it is important to register ahead of time so each location knows how many people to expect. In addition, those who register will receive important tour information, such as addresses and tour details before the tour date.
