Dairy baskets will be sold representing cows with the lowest linear score during the Thursday night Market Livestock Sale. All breeds will be combined when selecting the individual cows with the lowest linear score in each age category. Please review the Fond du Lac County Fair Premium Book for more information and eligibility regarding the Quality Milk Auction.

For 3, 4, 5-year-old and older milk classes and dry cow classes, submit the most recent completed (must be an OFFICIAL) lactation record with an average linear score found on the DHIA individual cow report. For two-year-olds, provide the past three, monthly linear scores. Farms may be on supervised or unsupervised tests. Samples are provided in this mailing.
