Christmas on the Farm (Graphic Content @

[@131dyana]

Thank you for sharing this vedio with us. God bless you and your family

[@TerriYoung-n3n]

I enjoy watching you deliver a cow.

[@pwhitkinn4543]

Too bad the calf didn't make it, poor thing. Christmas Day we went to Burnside Cemetery, to visit with my Mom and Dad. The fog was ridiculous, we got to Port Huron on Christmas day, it was blue skies, sunshine and 52 degrees. We came home yesterday, once we crossed the half way point of the Mackinac Bridge, the fog cleared and the rain stopped.

[@Kirsten-o3z]

Lost both my parents in 2021 three months apart. I do enjoy your videos. I am from Rhode Island.

[@dairyfarmmidwest1615]

God Bless you all

[@joeblow4888]

I feel your pain pulling that calf. No one knows how truly difficult it is to reposition a calf until they've done it. It can be quite challenging. The joys of cattle farming.

[@Farmerzeb1618]

It's always amazing to watch a calf being born

[@davidjarvis1634]

I worked on a family owned dairy farm about 20 yrs ago. Since I didn't have a family at the time,I worked all the holidays so the guys with family could be with them. Of course we had a momma having a hard time calfing on Christmas Day, so I had to help her by myself. What a rewarding feeling. I sat there in the pen for a bit kinda crying happily that "we" saved the calf!! Love your vids Kip. Keep up the good work & Happy New Year!!

[@joeahopelto8032]

As an early teenager, I remember picking blueberries on farms around Imlay City. I probably ate as many blueberries as I picked. It's good the farmer didn’t exit weigh us! Lol😊😊

[@joeahopelto8032]

I forgot to mention that I grew up on a farm 14 miles east of Sarnia. Sarnia and Port Huron were where I spent a lot of my time.

[@johnguay1859]

When you start A.I. you can choose calving ease Bulls, Makes calving much easier on heffers. Take care and god bless you all, it takes time to recover ( at least accepting) after the loss of a parent..Keep on sharing and making family first in your lives.

[@nickstadickSR210B]

The oil filter is behind the cover in back left corner! 😅 Couldn’t help but yell at the screen when I saw that. Worked at a Case IH dealership for 5 years before returning to my family’s dairy farm this past June. Great videos, keep it up!

[@paulwasserman97]

Wow what a great job trying to help mama deliver, Kip you do so awesome. You also try & get everyone ready so when it’s time you can step back. However I come from a cattle raising family & farmers, my dad never stopped. He kept going till he couldn’t @ I think almost 90

[@glennmoreside787]

I lost both of my parents in 2014, I can relate to how tough it is moving forward. God Bless you and your family

[@pjayres]

i love all the concerned aunts.... i think they are actually admiring your hard work and commitment to saving the life of the mom, even if the little one doesn't make it....dang your an animal!... let's go!!

[@stevebiddle8912]

Looks like you had a great Christmas with your family. Merry Christmas from Oklahoma

[@twotappat7823]

That's always a ruff on. Especially we the calf doesn't make it. At least momma made it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you good sir and family

[@bryonjames1737]

Thanks for the oil change part that saved me some time I have to do ours the weekend looked like a fun Christmas party

[@williammatzek4660]

When I had cattle I also worked in town. I lost a couple of first calf heifers because I was at my job. At are state fair the school of agriculture has a birthing barn. The city slickers flock in to look at the calves and piglets. Their are students in scrubs. Their is always a granulated vet on hand. That has been a good information source for me. God will help if you let him!

[@gregcatlett1458]

AMEN YOUNG MAN GOD BLESS!!

[@blanekopp7339]

Glad to see you and your family all together having g a great time .that game looked pretty cool going to have to try it next year. Hope we all have a great New Year stay safe!!!

[@susanmelton8525]

Merry Christmas to you and your family and all of the farm. Your Mom would be proud!

[@donkidd8200]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of the family

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Well then I guess it isn’t so bad that Hunt Farms still has corn standing in Lapeer. Or at least the fields behind the house. A channel I watch in New York everyone comments about him not getting the corn off, it’s too high moisture. He has low spots and has had lots of rain like us. There’s a little pothole in the woods that’s just about to the overflow level. It takes a lot of the field runoff. Normally it isn’t that full until spring thaw. I appreciate the care you put into your animals. Happy New Year Kip and family

[@laneluckhardt5510]

Keep a eye on the engine belts on that Newholland skid steer because the one at the farm I work on shredded a belt when it hit just over 900 hours and it is a know problem with them and it is very difficult to do because you can just barely get your arms in there to work.

[@tompreiss5010]

Mary Christmas and a happy New Year🎅🎅🎅🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆🎇🎇

[@diggersdiecast8879]

Your an inspiration dude, no excuses. Happy new year!

[@wood_dirt_grease]

To change your oil look up a mighty vac fluid extractor. The other thing that works well is build a hose with a shut off valve that will thread into you oil pan. I did this on a skid steer and log skidder. That also worked great.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. For you and your family. It's never good to loose a calf. Sorry to hear that.

[@danielhurrle7008]

Great video Kip. Some of these engineers need to talk to the farmers about there equipment. They change things and it makes us wonder why they changed it.

[@deborahscherretlemuel7113]

Hope you have a Great 2024.. Great videos.

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2024 to you and family Kip. Really nice to see life on the farm. It teaches many life lessons. My parents and inlaws both grew up on farms in Ireland back in the 1940's and 1950's. Some modern machinery back then but same as today requires work ethic and a love above all. Really nice to see the cousins and friends having some much fun. Be well. GOD BLESS. WOLVERINE!!!!

[@burtzorn4059]

Great to see the Grantman today . Glad you got to save the mom. It's always a sad deal. Happy New Year Kip. Like how you pay homage to your mom. She will never be forgotten. RIP mom Seigler !

[@DouglasMiller-c3e]

Thanks you brought back memories of on the about 60 years ago Thank you 🙏 Keep it going have a wonderful new year to all of you and your families

[@jackoughton5661]

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all

[@burryhulbertjr1429]

Merry Christmas to uall Kip.!! God Bless uall!! As for cookies before dinner I'm guilty of that too!😊

[@jaygregory5511]

Love the medicine ball game. Have a bless New Year

[@sparhawkable]

I love your channel and that you are in MI. You show what good farming is all about especially with the close family connection. I would ask the young man not to move any cattle but especially the young ones with his feet. I know he is not trying to harm them. If you have ever been hit with something hard on your tendon you know how painful it is. When we know better we do better. When I see all the things you do to keep your animals not only comfortable but happy I know he is not purposely trying to hurt them. Happy New Year to you and your family! Wishing you continued success! 👏❤️👏

[@casefarming-red]

Sad when u lose one but it's the reality of farming, as hard as you try can't save them all unfortunately. Great video and Merry Christmas

[@dennisdole1764]

What a great Christmas Family Time ❤. Blessings 😊

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Kip. It was most interesting. Looks like your family had a nice Xmas get together in your garage. Lots of good food and gifts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of the families. Sorry you lost that calf. That happens. You did your best but didn’t survive. Thanks for trying Kip. Your helped that big bull calf get out also and it survived. You and either lance or Lonnie helped again on that one. Nice work Kip. Getting that ditch area cleaned up bit by bit. Putting that drain tile down will help. Nice work. Your skid loader has a hard way to drain the oil it seems. Wow. You would think it would be better than laying down to drain the oil. Oh way, you got it snd the oil changed. Good work. About it I guess. Thanks for all of the 2023 videos Kip. They are appreciated. Looking forward to 2024 videos. The Iowa farm boy.

[@fasteddy3425]

Good show, God bless, have a great year.

[@bobhover3863]

Merry Christmas. God bless you all. It amazes me how the crowd gathers to see what’s going on.

[@earl7611]

Hey kip you probably had so much advice for food storage but I feel I need to tell you you already have good experience with ag bags I would put a cement pad down to avoid mud and cleanliness with bunks you have no experience and u will get a lot of spillage for the future anyway LET'S GO

[@marceau0926]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the whole Siegler Family

[@mikenawrocki1837]

Happy New Year to you Kip and your family.

[@farmerrob385]

Merry Christmas and happy new year

[@karolschulz48]

What a nice looking heifer! Beautiful udder from the shot we saw. Just curious are records kept as to who is the dam and something about the bull maybe his good traits, or where he came from. And if you don't change to AI maybe going forward pictures of the bull and traits he passed on. Or if the farm is planning on starting AI keeping track would really be a good plan going forward. It would allow you to breed traits in or out. It looked like a great Christmas. I Hope you have a safe and prosperous new year. Just a side note. Kip you are a truly blessed man. All those healthy kids, a new wife and health scares. Most importantly and why I really respect you, is for your service for this country at a time when the world was so uncertain. Then come home to to work on the family farm and feed the nation too. Not only are you truly blessed. You are an outstanding roll model. Keep on being the man you are, you are making a difference in the world.

[@terencemello8545]

Merry Christmas to you and your Family and a great New Year look forward to your videos next year God Bless 🙏

[@mllee2008]

Lost mom September 9th this year...hard stuff.

[@ThomasDrehfal]

Merry Christmas Kip and family and have a Happy New Year!

[@billcreed6882]

Happy New Year!

[@tomadelsberger6101]

Merry Christmas party for you and your family Thank you for keeping it real with your videos and sharing what farmers go through and walk to the house and celebrate with family That is how it is lows and highs consecutively

[@kenraterink]

I agree that the oil drain system really sucks. Ours used to be side drain but that hose wore a hole thru the oil pan and they had to pull engine and replace pan, switched to that hose drain style now. Out of warranty of course

[@markmitchell641]

Merry Christmas and have a blessed New Year!

[@robertmarino2158]

Great family time , enjoy, have fun , remembering mom , great idea , stay safe !

[@jasonbeecher509]

Happy new year. Keep the faith man

[@mikejankoviak8542]

At least you didn't lose the cow as well. That's never a good situation but at least you didn't lose both of them

[@phyllishalley8972]

I love the aunts and sisters checking things out!!! How do they know to do that !!???? Amazing 😮❤ Looks like the party was a big success.....Merry Christmas and we'll see you next year!!🎉🎉🎉❤🙏 God bless you all ❤❤

[@thomasanderson-wq1zz]

A very Merry Xmas and a happy new year to all of you at your farm all the way from Scotland .

[@jerrykaiser8156]

Nice 4 door squarebody

[@RichardNettleton]

Another good reason to use AI bulls you can select bulls for short gestation and ease of calving , plus when you AI you’ll have the date recorded which will make it more precise for preg testing and due date. Cheers 🇦🇺

[@bobpurs]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Kip to you and family. Always sad to loose a calf but it happens. 🎄🎅

[@ralphambridge8983]

Have you thought about a new milking system. Rotorary, robots, herring bone

[@karloarsch1579]

When nothing helps, when all prayer been said, when the last hope is gone.... than we read the manual.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

😅Happy Holidays to the Sieglers and all that follow along. I don't know what it is about the bellaring of happy healthy calves that I find so exhilarating. Very sad and sorry to lose a calf during birthing.... Unfortunately sometimes it does happen though. 😢

[@hugovanpelt5803]

merry christmas Kip

[@br927]

That's the way! When family comes you can get a lot of work done, then you can eat! How are you doing with the AI? Been thru bad calving, not fun!

[@jameshubbard4262]

They’re all watching over us

[@codyworcester5471]

The filter should be on the right side of the cab behind the shield

[@kimcwhite6509]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your heifer calf. Question, not judging, but do you give a cow Metacam after a difficult birth like that? Thank you for showing the real stuff, it is what it is. I love that you shared your Mom & pictures of her. I've done that with my adult son that I lost last year. A candle & his picture. Btw, your wife is beautiful❤️

[@troyremmers6223]

Kip how do you like the New Holland skidloader VS. the Case

[@rossnolan2883]

❤❤❤

[@EdHaight]

How are you liking the New Holland skid steer so far?

[@mattphillips4260]

hate to see you lost the calf

[@homey3051]

So you knew when you seen afterbirth coming out of that cow which you said usually means there is something wrong why would you not instantly check on the calf's position insider her. If you already though the calf was dead why leave the cow to suffer to push it out for another hour. It's like you said saving moma is the most important thing

[@curraghmore1989]

Do you not have a calving jack.

[@johnhatt1219]

I would have stuck with case

[@joelmoody1569]

Or, Deere . We had JD 332 and 333E, side panels came off to get to filters. Oil drain hose on the right rear was easy to get to as well.

[@johnhenderson299]

Unfortunately those things happen

[@cntslesfabrication]

Can you have your wife explain that game you had the kids play please
