The University of Wisconsin-Madison, through its Spooner Agricultural Research Station is the only research institution in North America to do applied research work on dairy sheep. The dairy sheep program started with the constitution of a dairy sheep flock in 1993 and the construction of a milking parlor in 1995. The station has 300 ewes of different breeds and is a proud member of the Wisconsin Sheep Dairy Cooperative. The Station is dedicated in helping the small dairy sheep industry in North America by developing a dairy breed of sheep adapted to the environment, developing sound and sustainable management systems that can be applied by all producers and by providing as much information as possible through publication and educational events such as the annual Spooner Sheep Day and the annual Great Lakes Dairy Sheep Symposium.
