South Central DHI has released its roundup of the best-performing animals through September.

The top Holstein came from Bells Udder Farm in Camp Doulas. O-1816 produced 42,276 pounds of milk that tested at 4.3 percent and had a cheese yield of 4772.

Medical providers, schools and County officials are encouraging the public to practice more stringent quarantine behaviors.

All the nesting, laying, feeding and fledging are of little concern right now. It’s the beginning of winter feeding, snow falling, and in the not-so-distant future shadow window boxing on sunny side windows.

Cardinals will take food in most ways, ground feeding, and feeder eating when all's covered with a dusting of snow.

Applications are being accepted for grants through the Sauk County Extension Office.
