They asked great questions, and loved touching and smelling some feed samples 🌽

We had a blast hosting campers from Yukon Trails RV & Camping Resort for farm tours this afternoon to celebrate June Dairy month! 🐄

Our visitors learned how we care for our cows, calves and crops growing in the fields. There were lots of sights, sounds and smells to share with everyone, plus a little sample of how our milk becomes the tastiest cheese curds in Wisconsin (thanks CarrValley Cheese)! 🧀

It’s June Dairy Month! 🐄🍦🧀🥛

Since June’s all about Dairy we thought it’d be a great time to introduce ourselves and show you the faces behind Lyndell Dairy!

We’re the Madland Family! Troy & Sandy are first generation farmers and started their dairy farming career in 1991 with 32 head of grade Holsteins. Today, we milk 430 Registered cows and run 1,700 acres of corn, alfalfa, soybeans and some alternative forages; nearly all of the fieldwork is completed by our family.

Many changes have taken place in the last 30 years of farming for Troy & Sandy including expansions, getting involved in Registered Holsteins and welcoming two of their children (Garrett Madland & Theresa Madland) and their families back to the dairy.

We look forward the next 30 years and changes to come as our third generation little farmers lend a helping hand and carry on the family tradition of dairying. 🐮

New year, new technology for us and the Ladies of Lyndell! In January we installed CowManager, after a month of use we are very happy with the data we’re collecting and the early notifications we’re getting on heats and health alerts!
