The state's agriculture department has announced its latest dairy herd count numbers, which indicates there were 9,236 herds milking in Wisconsin during the first week of April. That's a drop of 365 since the same month a year ago.
Clark County continues to hold the highest number of herds in the state with 849, followed by Marathon County with 554.
