Wisconsin's dairy goat industry also contributes to the state's nickname of America's Dairyland. 

The Wisconsin Dairy Goat Association traces its roots back to the 1930s. Association Vice President Anna Thompson Hajdik says Wisconsin's dairy goat heritage has gotten a new light in the last decade or so thanks to the development of new products.

"You can find goat milk in everything from your conventional cheeses to now ice creams, gelatos, there's exciting work going on in the creation of formula for babies," she says. "There's yogurt, kiefers, and other growing segments of dairy goat products, so it's an exciting time."

Wisconsin will be showing off its dairy goat heritage this fall. The American Dairy Goat Association is hosting its national convention October 19-25 in Lake Geneva.
