  • A calf escapes the rope of Paul Kenner as he and a crew of close to 70 workers corral and brand young calves at the Burdick Ranch south of Wood Lake, Neb., on April 21, 2012.

Megan Hansen, who is currently studying dairy science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, gives electrolytes to a 3- or 4-day-old bull calf on display at the petting zoo at the La Crosse County dairy breakfast. Hansen, whose parents own the land at the Creamery Creek Holsteins farm, hopes to be involved in dairy farming for her career.<br />

<br />
As the American dairy industry struggles through low milk prices and a declining market, the La Crosse County dairy breakfast brought famers and community members together to celebrate the industry and way of life in western Wisconsin. After the event was cancelled in March, the previous year’s host — the Peterson family at Creamery Creek Holsteins near Bangor — offered to bring the breakfast back to their 675-head dairy farm.<br />
<br />
Wisconsin, whose state identity is closely tied to the dairy industry, has seen an unprecedented decline in the number of dairy farms operating within its borders. Despite the celebratory mood of the breakfast, many worry that the industry’s decline will mark the end of the annual events.<br />
