Welcome to Sugar Creek Dairy

Sugar Creek Dairy of Elkhorn, WI, is home to more than just a large herd of cows. In fact, its owners Rick and Marleen have developed a strong herd of ladies that like to work and look great doing so. 

Sugar Creek Dairy has developed some key cow families over the last 35 years. This list includes Apple, Juror Faith, Northcroft Ella Elevation EX-97, Royal Rosas, Eroy and our homebred Die-Hard Mary Family. 

 

We believe in cows with size, strength, udders and the will to milk, all which lead to longevity. We’ve been recognized by Holstein USA as a Herd of Excellence, Progressive Breeder and Progressive Genetics herd and we are a leading breeder of Gold Medal Dams.

With a BAA of 107.5, Sugar Creek is home to 60 EX cows with a herd average of 32,600 pounds of milk. They are in the top 10 for Type animals of herds with 250-plus cows. From high genomic animals to show type, Rick and Marleen Adams have something for everyone to enjoy.
