Q&A:
Q: What’s your favorite piece of machinery you own?
Probably our skid steers. We use them a lot and depend on them.
Q: You have to leave halfway through chores. Who finishes?
One of my brothers. Either Mark or Greg.
Q: What’s the key to producing quality milk?
Putting up quality feed and having clean freestalls for when they lay down.
Q: What’s your favorite chore?
Feeding the cows. I like watching them eat and seeing the excitement they have.
Q: Describe your farm management style in three words.
Inspirational. Accountable. Team.
Q: How can someone easily improve their milk quality?
Pre-stripping cows before milking does them wonders.
Q: What’s your dream farm?
It’s something close to what I have. All I’d want is a grain set up for our extra crops.
On the farm:
Visit Siegler Dairy Farm and you’ll find three brothers working together in an 8-stall switch parlor, trying not “to get too fancy” and only trying to continue working well together because, “above all, that’s the key.”
