The Dairy Cattle Center on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus is located at 1815 Linden Drive. The stanchion and tie-stall barn is equipped with a Boumatic four-stall, side-opening parlor with automatic cow identification, takeoffs, and production recording. Cows are milked at 4:30 p.m. every day.
Campus facility tours are available based on area of interest and require a reservation.
As of July 2008, most of the herd was moved to the UW Research Farm in Arlington, WI. However, a few cows are still at the Dairy Cattle Center for the milking demonstration each day and instructional purposes.
