Pig, Duck and Goat Races

The pigs, ducks, and goats from Pleasure Valley Farm in nearby Adell, WI, entertain visitors with four shows daily during the Dodge County Fair. The racing pigs and other farm animals are the main attractions at the Laux family farm during the pumpkin season. Their first show at the Wisconsin State Fair was a huge success, and they have performed at several county fairs since 2013.

The racing animals don’t need extensive training to race; once they are taken out of their trailer, they instinctively know that the faster they run around the course, the sooner they can return to their cool, comfortable temporary home. Other racing animals include ducks and Nigerian Dwarf goats from West Africa.

All shows are free with paid gate admission to the fair. Come meet friends and family at the show, and feel free to share this event on social media or via email!
