Thank you to the sponsors and volunteers who made the 2010 Cows on the Concourse a great success. Mark your calendars for June 4, 2011. See you next year! Cows on the Concourse is a FREE, annual and family-friendly event that kicks off June Dairy Month in Dane County. Kids and adults can meet and greet cows and baby calves from local dairy farms. We invite you to stop by Cows on the Concourse as you peruse the Dane County Farmers' Market. Cows on the Concourse is a Madison tradition celebrating Wisconsin's dairy industry, which contributes over $26 billion to our state's economy. Wisconsin's dairy farmers have a strong heritage of quality, pride and craftsmanship in all that they do. Wisconsin has always been "America's Dairyland," so what better way to celebrate that tradition than to visit Cows on the Concourse and meet some of our hard working dairy producers with their cows? Bring the whole family and enjoy this unique experience!
