A dairy producer is always racing the sun

Being a dairy producer isn’t just a job or profession … It’s a way of life. The milk is just in your blood. You didn’t choose this life—it chose you. It’s what your father did. And what your father’s father did. And it’s the legacy you will leave to your grandchildren.

A dairy producer is always racing the sun. The days start early and the nights end late. Because when you run a dairy, you’re the boss, the janitor, the electrician, and the bookkeeper. And that barn is not going to clean itself.

You have to love the hard work - dealing with the elements. Staying up all night with a newborn calf and not getting back to bed before the chores start all over again. The cows don’t take a day off so neither do you. The dairy producer only eats after the "girls" eat. People ask you if it gets tiring doing the same thing day in and day out. And you only say no. There’s a pride that comes from producing a quality product that people need. And dairy producers know, families are depending on them. When folks run into the grocery store and grab a gallon of nourishing milk, they don’t stop to think about where that milk is coming from and all that has gone in to filling that jug. But that’s okay. We know.

It may not be a glamorous life, but it’s an honorable one. You may not make it to hear the first crack of the bat at Johnny’s big game. But you know Johnny’s team will have fresh, wholesome milk to drink for breakfast the next morning. The reward comes from the strong and healthy kids (with countless milk mustaches) who drink your work everyday.

Doing our job, so you can do yours

Because we know the world’s finest dairy equipment isn’t made by machine. It's handcrafted by some of the hardest working masters of metal you’ll ever meet—skilled craftsman and craftswomen that take pride in what they do, every step of the way and every single day. When we go to work every morning, we know that we are making the dairy producer’s life a little better, a little easier, a little more profitable. And we know that when that milk goes into a Mueller cooler, that’s one less thing you have to worry about. After all, that’s where we want our family's milk coming from.

We are there from sunrise to sunset

When a dairy producer is having a good year, we know that we—the craftsman, the dealers, the engineers, the technicians—are doing our job, because we're not just selling equipment. We’re partnering with you to make your family business a success. We’re there with you sunrise to sunset. And we share your passion for a job well done. Because when you combine old-fashioned sweat equity with midwestern common sense and time-tested engineering, nothing can rival a piece of American-made Paul Mueller Company dairy farm equipment. For more than 60 years, that’s our promise to you.
