Herdshare agreements in Wyoming are governed by the Wyoming Department of Agriculture.

In Wyoming, herdshares are one of several legal options alongside direct farm-gate purchases.

Submit a Herdshare ProgramHow Herdshares Work in Wyoming
In a herdshare arrangement, you purchase fractional ownership of a dairy animal (typically a cow or goat). You then pay a regular boarding fee to the farmer who cares for and milks your animal. In return, you receive a regular allocation of fresh raw milk proportional to your ownership share.
Because you legally own a portion of the animal, the milk you receive is not a purchased product — it is your milk. This structure makes herdshares legally permissible in Wyoming under contract law.
