WDMS History

The Wisconsin Donkey and Mule Society, Inc. (WDMS) was formed on April 21, 1985 at 1:00 p.m. at the home of George and Pat Strobl in Hartland, Wisconsin. The original members were: George & Pat Strobl, Carl & Doris Buchholtz, Ann Moses, Jean Anderson, Ann Van Buren, Lester & Irene Fietzer, Lloyd & Marlene Hermsen and Roger Wilcox. Everyone in attendance immediately became an officer or board member. From the 12 members in attendance, $80 in dues was collected and so WDMS began! The first year, three meetings and two clinics were held with the First Annual WDMS State Show held in 1986 in Tomah, Wisconsin.
