Boy, nothing changes with milkman except the size of the truck. So much similarity to our farming years ago but on a larger scale. Just love your farm and videos. Thank you!
From what I see your doing it just right, and one day a younger guy is going to tell someone that you’re a heck of a guy to look up to😎God Bless Kip🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
@@stephensmith611 Hello, can you tell me why he has 4 additional lift axels? I mean if they are in action, you got problems with steering i can imagin?
My dad is a retired milk hauler the last tank here was 6000gal what gallons on that tank all are farmed are gone but family dairy in the next country the three big ones we are here in shelby NC that brought back a few memories alot of hard work for all
Dairy farmer are back bone of American. Southern bell's give pick up my milk. Great video too. My grandfather teach me how to milk a cows. When I was a kids. Red holstein are so beautiful.
Doing dairymen proud Kip. Back in the 40’s, 50’s and maybe even the 60’s the milk carrier would take the milk from my grandfather’s dairy farm to the Washtenaw dairy in Ann Arbor. It is no longer a “dairy” but is still in business as a coffee/donut shop with the best ice cream anywhere. Every year my daughter and I have a dad/daughter trip to Ann Arbor to visit family and take in a Michigan Football game...and always have ice cream at the Washtenaw Dairy. Keep the good stuff coming Kip. God bless.
Kip really enjoy seeing this Dave an I have the pleasure of sharing a grandson Noah an he’s been a good friend since 6 th grade I know your in good hands ! hope your folks are well sure great seeing the generations keeping up at the dairy there’s no easy day
That's a big tanker. Our one is three axles holding 6,000 gallons. Collection is every two days. Your cows look great, beautiful udders and so clean too. That heifer due to calve looks pretty special.
Sweet video! That is the biggest milk tanker I've ever seen! That sure is a good lookin heifer! You do a great job representing the dairy industry man love the videos!
I've been enjoying the videos! I sustained an injury in the milk parlour on Dec 5th, just had surgery a few weeks ago. I've stopped by and visited my calf babies but it's boring being at home so I've been living vicariously thru the videos. Can't wait to be back to my calves! I milked for years but enjoy calf care better, not as many injuries! Lol
Good video Kip & your so right about taken the family out to eat or bowling or what ever yal do just to see how the kids ack that so important. Kip here is a idea of mine I would like to know what cost gose into a cow putting out 100 lbs of milk I think farmers was getting 21.00 per 100lbs of milk see if you can break it down to show your consumer how it real is . Just a idea Kip . I watch a break down on corn and after all the % of everything it takes to grow a bushel he had 12 lbs of a bushel leftover. Stay safe and warm kip Hello from Daniel from central Mississippi
Another great video Kip! Love the way you take care of your cows. We have ice cream sundae nite on Sundays lol. Grand kids love it. We also use real butter,milk,cheese. Make our own ice cream in summer goid stuff right there. If you make ice cream you may want to do a video unit some time I think folks would be interested.
Kinda silly but every time you flip the switch on the silo unloaders I'm relieved when the silage comes down the chute !!! Best way in the world to teach the kids some manners is to take em out in public and teach em right from wrong. (kinda unusual nowadays unfortunately ) good reward for taking care of the calves !! Axel's galore on that truck for sure , bet it's kind of a pig on ice in fowl weather , but if ya been doing it for 37 years I'm sure he's seen it all !!! Thanks for another great video !!!
Just found you about 2 weeks ago. Really enjoy your videos and channel. You are doing a great job advocating for the dairy industry. Keep up the great work, looking forward to spring planting videos.
Good Ol' Dave, just like me, find a job you enjoy and it's never work. Plus it's tough to find a young Buck to work 7 days a week. Love the "money maker" view of your impressive cattle, as they eat.
started my driving career over 35 yrs ago dairy farm pickup. Always was told a dairy farmer or milk hauler never goes thirsty. There were some farms I wouldn't touch with a 10foot pole and others wouldn't think twice about dipping a cup in tank for a cold glass of milk. Now I haul brewers grain to dairy farms.
We quit milking two years ago, milked 250 out of a double 6 parlor. Some days I miss the routine and other days I don’t miss it at all. We run more crop acres and a big beef herd so we still stay plenty busy though
Hello from the UK l am relatively new to your channel and I enjoy watching your videos, it's great to see the milk tanker picking your milk up, I drive a milk tanker in the UK, keep up the good work and best wishes.
So Mr Dave has 103K pounds limit (whole milk), whole milk is 8.6 pounds/gallon. Mr Dave can haul 11,976 gallons of whole milk per load. How much is supplied per day by Siegler Family Dairy farm? I like the use of ole milk coolers 4 water tanks! Great video Mr Kip. 👍👏😊
I have been watching you for about year i grew up in Genesee county on dads dairy and i have wondered if you belonged to MMPA then on this video you had there hat on love what you do i miss it some times but now i live in Arizona i visit about once every two years. by the way my dad had the 3rd.4010 off the assembly line in 1961.
Hello from Virginia ! Nice dairy you got. I am a milk hauler for md & va. Loved your clip. We milk 50+ cows . Have to haul milk to help pay the bills !!😀
I was a milk hauler for 11 years in SW Kansas and West Texas. I didn't live load at the dairies often and those were more commercial dairies. I did more long haul runs.
Yes definitely been tossing that around for years, we just end up conceding that if it’s not broke don’t try to to fix it. We’re not getting big milk but we don’t have big bills is our model 👍
@@KipSieglerFarming1 That's fair, I believe it would pay for you guys to invest in a mixer but everyone's got their own way of doing it. I can tell you take good care of your cows, I like how you walk around and look at each individual one while feeding.
awesome as children we went to town in the summer with horses to have a hamburger and icecream family had to help out to we had a 100 head to milk too as kids we have 500 head now and growing new barn now too now we all are on hand with grown the dairy farm bigger to
Strange that in your country the milk test sample is done manually so its easy to manipulate and takes more time, here its automatic done and stored, is it always done in your country this way ?
Could you do a video on what you have to pay to have your milk hauled to the dairy ,most people don't know anything about that kind of things.Lisa in East Central Ohio
Just come across your channel and subscribed now. I’m wondering why does the milk truck hose go through a hole in the wall and not the door? Is it regulations or to keep the tank room warm?
@@waynefoe4308 hey wayne... yes used to go to McDonald dairy in flint... now to the town of ovid... a Michigan milk plant and to Kroger's in livonia... how are ya?
@@countryguy72065 Doing good thanks , Been working at an orchard for close to thirty years . Bale a little hay and have sheep . There easier to wrestle than cows . Good to see you even if only on the internet
You say you're south of imlay city? I used to live in Leonard mich, not too far from there. Small world, I live in Tennessee now.went to school with a member of a dairy family, their name was Wadges, not sure if I spelled it right.
Thats roughly about 50,000 dollars worth of milk, if milk is $4.50 a gallon considering 103k pounds of milk divided by 8.6 pounds(1 gallon of milk) according to google is 11,976 gallons × 4.50(1gal)= 53k, id say it is worth it. Just wondering how long does it takes to produce all of that milk , PRETTY IMPRESSIVE THOUGH
That is a crazy long trailer, the truck that picks up our milk only pulls a double axle trailer. Ive never seen one that long, are they common in your area?
As a fellow Michigander, Kip your a true All American guy!!! Great job...awesome videos.
👍👍
Boy, nothing changes with milkman except the size of the truck. So much similarity to our farming years ago but on a larger scale. Just love your farm and videos. Thank you!
Thank you 👍
Only thing missing from your channel is experiencing the "smell" love driving by farms with the windows open. Breath it in baby!
Yes sir
From what I see your doing it just right, and one day a younger guy is going to tell someone that you’re a heck of a guy to look up to😎God Bless Kip🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸

Love watching your informative videos!
Enjoyed this video !! Top notch video and farm THANKS

That's the biggest milk hauler I've ever seen!
Only in michigan 😂😂
The super tanker I drive holds 108,500lbs of milk. The truck and trailer weigh 52,400lbs..160,900lb on the scale!
@@stephensmith611 Thanks for the info! Its still so unbelievable big! Safe trucking!
@@stephensmith611 Hello, can you tell me why he has 4 additional lift axels? I mean if they are in action, you got problems with steering i can imagin?
@@8BlackEdition8 you need to lift #1,#2, #3, #4, and #8 is optional when you turn. If not you will jackknife the truck
I have never seen a milk wagon with 8 axles ,sweet !
🤠🤠
Nice to see cows with thier tails and switch intact . New sub ,I'm impressed by the videos I've watched.👍

Great video, it seems like that conveyor system is a better system for feeding compared to a mixer wagon.
It’s some maintenance but faster, works well for smaller herds👍
That was cool. Thanks
I envy your rural setting. Can hardly fly my drone, too urban.
My nephew drives those big milk trucks
That's one big milk tanker I'm my neck of woods milk tankers are smaller and I sure miss the milk truck pulling up to the farm

👍🤠
Okay, we will be a waiting the next video. Thanks
Love your enthusiasm and care for your animals 💝
Thank you 👍
Michigan special Tanker 💪💪
Big girl👍
I like at 9:00 min the bull looking for a piggy back ride lol
Yee haw 👍
Them drop threw chain convayors are great an simple, belt convayors with the plows can be a pain but are still good an reliable
Yes completely agree 👍
If you could. It would be cool to have him explain more if what he does and looking for before he loads the mill into the tank.
That milk truck is a monster. Ever consider mixing a TMR?
We have a 164,000 pound limit on 12 or 12 axles
11*
Better correct that cause 12 would just be crazy....(I pull an 8 axel floor lol)
Yes definitely been tossing that around for years, we just end up conceding that if it’s not broke don’t try to to fix it. We’re not getting big milk but we don’t have big bills is our model 👍

Holy smokes that’s a big milk truck... how many stops would he need to make to fill that up. Love your videos kip.. kip up the good work 😜😜😜😜
In Northern Michigan we stop at 5-6 farms on a couple routes. But we do a lot of one stop P/U and fill to the top.
The dairy farm I worked on in 64 thur 67 milked 300 cows , had own processing plant bottling operations, and 4 stores to sell it
Wow 👍👍
Can you get a video of that semi turning with all those pushers down, ha ha! Looks like that would be hard on a lot of things
Strange that in your country the milk test sample is done manually so its easy to manipulate and takes more time, here its automatic done and stored, is it always done in your country this way ?

Ever thought of lining the bunks with tile so its easier for the girls tongues than the cement.
One is lined with a plastic liner that works👍
How long is your tanker and how many Lts . Or gallons . Thanks for the great videos. From Ireland .
Thanks 115,000 pounds
I see the bull trying to do the job.
What’s the name of your dairy farm and your doing an awesome job representing dairy farmers
Siegler Dairy farm thank you👍
Just come across your channel and subscribed now. I’m wondering why does the milk truck hose go through a hole in the wall and not the door? Is it regulations or to keep the tank room warm?
Welcome! Yes keep barn shut up in winter and so the door doesn’t get destroyed banging in to the hose everyday
Look at dave go!
He’s in good shape👍
I was thinking of you when Kip said it was you.Where do you haul to now,used to go to flint right

Big milk truck wow they let you on roads with 100 thousand pounds
I’ve never seen a milk hauler that big , only seen tri axels in western ny
My thoughts exactly lol WTF hauling lead
Do you know why the tanker has so many wheels? Cows are looking well👍
Must be the law here in Michigan, thank you phil👍👍back on track
You know they could have squeezed another axle in on that trailer :)
🤠
How many pounds of milk do you ship a day?
Thats roughly about 50,000 dollars worth of milk, if milk is $4.50 a gallon considering 103k pounds of milk divided by 8.6 pounds(1 gallon of milk) according to google is 11,976 gallons × 4.50(1gal)= 53k, id say it is worth it.

That is a crazy long trailer, the truck that picks up our milk only pulls a double axle trailer. Ive never seen one that long, are they common in your area?
Yeah we have a 164,000 lbs limit and need 11 or 12 axlee to support it all
If that trailer had one more axle he could haul chocolate milk!
👍🤠🐄
I think you should have a storage tank twice that large for good measure.
Yes you’re right, we’re putting in another tank probably this spring 👍
Beautiful udder on that hiefer
Yes sir
Does the milk go into separate tanks in the truck for each farm, or is it just all mixed into one big large tank??
Gets all mixed together 👍
How many litres does the tanker hold
Approx 46720 Litres if you convert 103000 pounds ?
