ATCP 65.36 (6).
ATCP 82.12(2m)(b)
(b) Before the individual collects the milk sample, the individual shall verify that the contents of the bulk milk tanker have been thoroughly mixed, immediately prior to sampling, to ensure that the entire contents are homogeneous at the time of sampling. The contents shall be mixed in a manner that is known to ensure homogeneity.
ATCP 82.12(2m)(c)
(c) The individual shall follow the same procedures that apply, under sub.
(2) (b) to

(1) at the first dairy farm where milk is collected for each bulk milk tanker load. The bulk milk weigher and sampler shall mark one of those samples as the temperature control sample for all samples pertaining to that load. The sample container for the temperature control sample shall be marked with the producer's identification number, the bulk milk weigher and sampler's initials, the date and time when the sample was collected, and the temperature of the milk in the farm bulk tank from which the sample was collected.
ATCP 82.12(4)
(4) Sample containers. A sample container used to collect a milk sample under sub.
(1) shall be all of the following:
ATCP 82.12(4)(c)
(c) Large enough to hold milk for initial and repeat testing under s.
ATCP 65.76, and large enough to permit thorough mixing of sample contents before testing.
ATCP 82.12(4)(d)
(d) Labeled with the all of the information required under sub.
(5), or designed so that the bulk milk weigher and sampler can easily mark that information on the sample container.
ATCP 82.12(5)
(5) Sample identification. Immediately before a bulk milk weigher and sampler collects a milk sample under sub.
(1), but before the bulk milk weigher and sampler opens the sample container, the bulk milk weigher and sampler shall clearly and indelibly label the sample container with all of the following information unless that information is already labeled on the sample container:
ATCP 82.12(5)(a)
(a) A producer identification number, assigned by the dairy plant operator, that uniquely identifies the milk producer.
ATCP 82.12(6)(a)(a) Immediately after a bulk milk weigher and sampler collects a milk sample under sub.
(1), the bulk milk weigher and sampler shall place the sample container in a clean refrigerated carrying case in which the bulk milk weigher and sampler shall keep the sample at a temperature of 32 to 40
°F. (0 to 4
°C.). The carrying case shall be constructed of rigid metal or plastic, shall be effectively insulated and refrigerated to keep samples at the required temperature, and shall have racks designed to hold samples in a proper upright position. If sample containers are packed in ice or cold water to keep the samples refrigerated, the ice or water shall cover no more than 2/3 of each sample container.
ATCP 82.12(6)(b)
(b) A bulk milk weigher and sampler who collects a milk sample under sub.
