Thereâ??s some not-so-happy news for cows on the UW-Madison campus.
A $3 million proposal to remodel the bovine living quarters likely won’t be getting state funding in the next two years, after state Department of Administration officials rejected the proposal for inclusion in the capital budget.
The project was necessary, officials in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences said, because the cattle center on the west side of campus was built in the 1950s and is now outdated. The stalls are too small for todayâ??s cows and not ventilated properly.
