What’s That Smell in the Dairy Air? Another Sauk County Dairy Breakfast

It’s a moo season. With the start of summer comes another popular Sauk County Dairy Breakfast.

This year is the 32nd annual breakfast at Branders Dairy Farm, located at E3886 US Highway 14 and 60 in Spring Green. It is being held on Saturday, June 10, from 7 to 11 a.m.

There will be pancakes and cheese curds; scrambled eggs and hot coffee; applesauce and frozen custard, and more. All of that, plus equipment displays, educational exhibits, and entertainment.

“This is the third time that the Branders have stepped forth to host the breakfast,” said Sandi Knuth, a Reedsburg resident who helps put on the event. “The focus of the farm is to provide high quality healthy food while providing excellent care to their animals and stewarding the land responsibly.”

The Branders’ animals, 450-some Holsteins on over 1,000 acres, will have plenty of visitors to their land during the breakfast.

This year’s entertainment includes the Gary Beal Band. They’ve been entertaining around southern Wisconsin for over 40 years.

Also performing, and sponsored by Darlene Ballweg, will be the Madison-based Cripple Creek Cloggers. Formed by 10 square dancers in 1982, the group wanted to incorporate clogging steps into their formations. Soon, clogging became more popular than the square dancing. They’ve been happily clogging ever since.

“We have a great menu and entertainment lined up,” Knuth said. “We hope everyone can come out and enjoy the morning on the farm.”

Knuth, who once owned a farmlette outside of Logansville, always delights in seeing families attend the breakfast.

“Seeing the kids interact, petting the calves is priceless,” she said. “So many city kids don’t know where their milk and butter comes from except when mom buys it at the store.”
