Wisconsin Dairy Cow Holds National Lead
The Wisconsin dairy cow is named the state's official domestic animal and remains the top dairy state in the nation despite declines in milk production and herd size. June milk output fell 5 percent from last year, with May down 3 percent and January to June down 2 percent. Per cow production averaged 1 005 pounds in June, down from 1 050 pounds in 1972, while June cow numbers were 1 814 000 versus 1 832 000 a year earlier.
