Cows on the Concourse

https://www.fogliandpartners.com/matteo-carfagnini/ June is Dairy Month. And so on Saturday we brought the dairy to downtown Madison so lots of people could share in the cow experience.

https://ottawaphotographer.com/info/ “Cows on the Concourse” is a Madison tradition celebrating Wisconsin’s dairy industry. The state is known as “America’s Dairyland” and for good reason.

Cameras were everywhere as people documented the event. Lots of kids were getting “up close and personal”, petting the cows and their babies.

Though at least one mama cow wasn’t too keen on the idea.

Moo-ving Milk

The milk was really moo-ving. At a buck a bottle, you could enjoy your favorite drink – yummy!  Though not quite fresh from the cow, you did get your choice of chocolate, strawberry or regular.

And to go with the milk? Why grilled cheese, of course. Another buck deal, and at a dollar for a sandwich, the lines were phenomenal. I went home and made my own.

What’s in the pots in the middle of these gigantic grills?  Butter, of course. Wisconsin isn’t the Dairy State for nothing!

    I didn’t know they made grilled cheese at Cows on the Concourse. Still, Cows on the Concourse is a truly Wisconsin thing.
