When you think of Wisconsin, particularly Green County, you probably think of big-eyed dairy cows on hillsides Brown Swiss, Holstein, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Jersey, Milking Short Horn contentedly converting pasture grasses into rich, creamy milk. And you 're absolutely correct. Scampering, playful dairy goats, too. Our guests really enjoy our friendly Bovine-Americans.
Exotic species dot our contour-plowed hillsides and grace our pastureland.
Watch for them and enjoy. Our cheese factories, along with our restaurants and shops, and the Swiss Colony, America's first mail order cheese business and Santa Claus to the entire country, provide lots of opportunities to purchase delicious Green County cheeses. The Historic Cheesemaking Center in Monroe shares the history, artifacts, tales and tools of our master cheesemakers. It's free, too. Our Dairy Queens come from each city and village in the county.
