Between 1876 and 1886, Hyrum Judd, under the direction of Lot Smith, supervised a Mormon Dairy one
mile northeast near Dairy Spring.Beginning with a herd of 115 cows, large quantities of butter and cheese were produced. During the 1880s the herd almost doubled in number and dairy products were delivered to residents of distant Brigham City, Sunset and St. Joseph, Arizona.
Judd closed the dairy in 1886 and moved his family to the Mormon colony at Chuichupa, Chihuahua, Mexico.
Erected 1986 by Scott L. Mickelson, Eagle Scout Project and Arizona Historical Society.
