TAYLOR, Wis. – Nathan Kling didn’t expect to have two dairy herds. But this past year when an opportunity came to buy an adjoining farm he took advantage of the deal. He now has an organic herd on his home farm with 250 pastured parlor-milked cows, and a conventional herd with 250 cows milked by robots.
