Please read below from Waupun Veterinary Services in response to the USDA’s announcemt of an Avian Influenza case in Dodge County:

A dairy herd within our clinic practice radius was placed under quarantine on Friday, 12/12/2025 after the herd was diagnosed with Avian Influenza (H5N1).

The herd was diagnosed by routine bulk tank monitoring conducted by the WI – Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (WI – DATCP). The diagnosis was confirmed at the National Veterinary Laboratory in Ames, IA.

Currently, this quarantine is specific to this farm and does not affect neighboring farms.
At this time, state and federal officials are working with the farm to understand how the herd was exposed to the virus. As we continue to support this farm, we encourage our clients and other farms to review and practice effective biosecurity.

Farms should be aware of all animals, personnel and vehicles entering and leaving their farm. If clients have additional questions, we encourage them to reach out to their WVS herd health veterinarians.

Public questions can be directed to Molly Mueller (WI – Public Information Officer)

🐑🩺🙌 We had a sweet little patient in the clinic today! Dr. Jeff, Dr. Molly and Dr. Mary put a splint on a 3-day old lamb that had a broken bone.

“We fashioned a Schroeder Thomas splint for this lamb that had a fracture just below the elbow. The location of this fracture made it not possible to cast successfully. Obviously we had to make it festive!“ Dr. Molly said.

🐄📣Please welcome Stacy Graff to the WVS team as our new field technician. This new position was created to support our dairy farmers.

Stacy has a degree in animal science and ag business from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls graduating in 2023 where she was involved in the Dairy Club and Block and Bridle. She grew up in Markesan on her family’s farrow-to-finish swine farm where they focus on producing quality show pigs and commercial pigs. Prior to raising swine, her family milked cows for many years. Growing up in the Markesan area she was very active in FFA and 4-H showing swine and dairy steers.

Stacy was previously the Green Lake County Fair coordinator and the UW-Extension office coordinator for Green Lake County. Stacy is a people person and was looking for a change in her career so she could be more involved with farmers. She comes to us eager to get out on the farm and help producers.

Stacy’s position as a field tech was newly created and will include helping with on-farm inventory monitoring/control and product ordering. Our goal is to integrate her in the ordering process to support herd health veterinarians. We have a long list of ideas on how she can help us help producers and we would welcome your input as well.

Please welcome Stacy out on your farm. She will be riding along with several of the vets in the upcoming weeks to learn about our practice area and the amazing producers we work with.

We’d like to give a special shout out to Mary! Mary celebrated her 10th anniversary of working at Waupun Vet this year. 🎉

Many of you may interact with Mary on the phone or while checking out products at the front desk at the clinic. She also has the huge task of scheduling herd healths for our 16 doctors, notifying clients of their appointments and updating the vets on their day to day appointments. She’s very detailed oriented and one of the most kind and caring individuals you’ll meet.

Congratulations Mary! 🙌🎉🤩
