we like it when ur dad has the camera an telling us stuff like how much to feed
It doesn't do no good too live the ice in there
Yes we do
How many pounds of ice do you feed a day?
Is ice hard water?
The MOST informative video. Brian was great doing this. Very helpful.
Growing up dad said numerous times “on a cold day if you get the cows fed and barn cleaned you had a good day “
Thanks Brian & Cole for such a good video on feeding and watering. There is lots to consider when feeding. I learn so much from you two so l want to say 'Thank-you'.
Please stay warm.
The end is hilarious when Cole ask the cows to take easy and have patience. Countless times I have asked the girls to remain single file you will get all you need to drink
I still dont understand why ranches out west refuse to use Vertical TMRs they dont plug like horizontal and it doesnt require a haybuster , just saying
HIYA BOYS, BRIAN nice video, we love watching you guys do your daily chores you guys may think it's boring we love it, and COLE the ending when you're talkin to the cows Love it, cracks me up, I love you guys as life ❣🤗
THANKS FOR ONE OF THE BEST VLOGS YET, BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTHWEST IOWA AND WORKED ON FARMS, GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE DEDICATION IT TAKES TO RUN A FARM, YEAR ROUND, ENJOY THESE AND ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU,
I guess we are lucky. It's a very balmy 9 degrees here. I'm running late because I had to put suntan oil on before chores. Dad says that when he was a kid, they had to have a space heater in the bathroom because it would get so cold, you would freeze to the toilet seat. Grandma says dad was drinking too much back then and that's why he couldn't get off the toilet, but I will believe what I want to. We are supposed to get snow here tomorrow so I put snowshoes on all the " cattles" so they can walk on by as the polar bears are sinking into the drifts. Anyway, have a great day, stay warm, keep your powder dry and your beer cold.
Brian, that was really interesting. You're very scientific about formulating the nutrition. No wonder your cattle look so healthy. Impressive.
@Sparky56 LOL!!!!
That feeding and watering information was really interesting. Great job of explaining the different rations to a non-farmer. I'm in SE MN so we get the same temps but also the crazy winds (in the land of the wind turbines). We had a blizzard day from school Wednesday. Only an inch of fluffy snow but almost 50 mph winds and almost zero visibility. Kids did E-learning at home. Thanks for all the info!
What an awesome and informative video! I think you guys really filled in a lot of the questions or misunderstandings that the folks who watch your videos might have regarding the feeding process. I think videos like this are really good to have everyone's in a while, in conjunction with the regular ones and the funny stuff, Etc. Thank you guys for putting it together and showing us what it's all about!
Probably the best video you guys have done. Stay warm fellas and thanks.
I am a fuel distributor in central Wyoming and we treat our customers delivered diesel with Innospec CFI-1902 at a rate of 1:1000. This puts the CFPP at about -45 F and the pour point at about -43 F. About .04 cents per gallon. Talk to whoever you by fuel from. Like watching the show.
My farmer husband said if the tractors start and the water runs winter chores are half done
I know exactly how you guys feel, were having the same weather out here in ontario. i actualy just got back in from feeding our cattle. its only -20 celcius here though without the wind chill. much respect for dealing with this cold a$$ weather
Here at Sonne Framez we like drink beerz after wranglin cattlez all day. lol
Safely say that was an awsome indepth video, there was me thinking you just chucked feed in that wagon, now I understand feeding, there is a lot more to it than it appears, I found it really interesting thanks Brian and Cole
“I was almost starting to get cold, in this -13 degree temperature!” So true. If you live in this part of the country, you get used to negative temps. It’s not easy on us or the cattle, but ungulates (cattle) convert their fats to avoid freezing.
Good point Sir. As a side I note:So does every other animal including humans, be sure to eat a lot of calories when working outside in cold weather. It takes a lot of energy to keep a body going outside in freezing temperatures. Regards from south Sweden.
We up here in colder Manitoba Canada use Ritchie waterers Made in the USA . They work good and you have enough to do without playing with water every day .
I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security rather having different investments is the real deal.
The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and loss of jobs caused by covid 19 pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures..
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career purpose is a result of how they make and plan in their investment. The stock market is really a good means of income having a good manager in the stock market in the likes of Edward Miller I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life we see.
Wow am so shocked, He's success stories are everywhere 😱.Mr Edward has been my broker for over a year now and he's strategies are really awesome
@Alexander Erickson I was able to see that he is a registered trader, cause I don't believe 😩 anything I see online but I'm definitely shocked that he is real, how do I reach him please ?
@Alexander Erickson thanks on he's info, I'll get to him right away
Thanks, Brian, for your input. Very informative and nice delivery style. Amazing how the cattle on cornstalks handle the cold.
My heart goes out to you ! That’s true dedication - no matter the weather, they need to be fed !
I remember those days of those kind of temps and feeding cattle when I was much younger. However, now at 72 and no longer on the farm I don't handle those temps very well. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day!!
I'm with you. My hubby & I are both in our late 70s. Both grew up in cold, snowy, blizzard winters. We can not do that anymore. I never realized how much work there is on raising cattle, let alone Bison!! I love watching how they interact with Big Joe & Dunbar. Stay warm sir.
Goooood morning Sonne Frames~ Im sorry that our Montana below zero weather headed to you! Bundle up, get everything tied down for the incoming wind and plows ready. This storm hammered us up here. We were out feeding & plowing at -35 windchills. Argh! Thats when the true test for any of your winter gear.... which most of the time cannot help enough in those temps. Stay warm & safe guys!
Always a highlight of the day: these videos
-41c here in Northern Alberta -52c with the wind chill been like this most of December and all this month, my cows and me are ready for spring lol.
Ooh, a Friday bonus video. Thanks for freezing your keysters off for our entertainment!
Did Cole ever mention how cold it is? I don't remember.🥶🥶😁😁
Thanks for mentioning the celcius temp. We in metric world have to convert every time . Man , that's cold.
We just found your channel and are really enjoying the videos! We are a family farm located in central Iowa and we share life on the farm on RUclips as well! We are mainly grain farmers but we do have some livestock as well! We got a snow storm about a week ago and with it came -20 degree weather! It can be quite the pain to keep the waterers thawed out! We enjoyed the video and are looking forward to more!
I’m looking for some yearling bulls to buy. A viewer on our channel sent us to your channel.
Could I buy about 10 yearling bulls?
Also how bout a RUclips collab
To kick my humble little channel up a notch?
Thanks Ramzi 🙏🐂⚓️
I wish more people realized what farmers go through to put food on their tables. God Bless you folks , love ya
Thanks for the very informative video, I often wondered what all. Went into the cattle feed,stay warm ya'll..Dan
Back in my day all the rations were guesstimates. I love how you optimize your cattle feed just like your fertilizer. You guys are doing good. Thank you for sharing
God Bless our Farmers! Y’all are real American men to work thru the cold. Awesome telling about the ration feeding. Another Great Sonne Farms video…..
Thx Brain I mean Brian for the cattle management class in your next life we'll call you professor Sonne.
I really like the explanation on feeds. I like your dad’s sense of humor. I wish we could see more of your mom. A farmers wife perspective. Love the channel
it feels like winter with the temps you have, sounds like winter with the squeaky remnants of snow as you walk, but you look devoid of the actual white stuff! When is that supposed to show up and if it stays gone hows it gonna impact the poor water totals amount.
Imagine growing up pushing a wheelbarrow back and fourth on a 125ft. manger for 200 head. in -13 F. Plus you had to throw down the silage from a 60 by 18 silo.
Never would be cold, that's for sure.
I did the throwing down and my brother did the wheeling, far less cows but still a pain.👍
Thanks for breaking down how the feed works.. a city slicker like me enjoys watching. .
I would FREEZZZZZ to death up there. I live in Alabama. If they even mention snow, all of the milk and bread are gone from the stores.... I just dont know how you guy stay alive up there. thank you so much Cole and Mr. B for taking us along with y'all. You guys are AWESOME
Loved this vid. Interesting to see how you deal with super cold weather conditions. As always, you guys are a hoot to watch!!
Very educational video gentlemen, thanks
Thanks Sonne's..... stay warm out there !
Great explanation of your feed rations Brian. I feel sorry for the person yielding the axe on the ice. Tractors have to start every single morning, when they don’t it can be a real disaster. Please stay as warm as possible - it’s great to have cabs on the tractors these days.
I like how you give warmish silage to the cows. I do that for my chickens with an oatmeal mash. The prissy ladies don't really like corn, silly birds. I really like how well Brian explained your feeding protocals and how it helps the cows and heifers. I learn more from ya'll than I learned in my Large Animal classes at college. Funny story, Brian, when I was 10 years old in subburban New Jersey I would get up at 6am to watch Mosern Farmer on the TV. That was 1959, but I never found a farmer to marry.
Love Tom Petty. You guys are tougher than NFL players out in that weather
Yup. it's cold enough to freeze the balls of a brass monkey. Now that's cold. Hope you enjoy the weather. And just like Cole said to the cows it will be warmer tomorrow. Right! 🥶
Thanks for the videos ,you're all doing a great job ,cattle look good and happy.
Good, informative video. I've been curious about your feed rations.
All i know about cattle I learned from you guys and other vloggers, but in my opinion your cows look very good. I have never in my life been in such cold as what you are dealing with. brrr
I was feeding cattle in -27 last week with a wind chill of -35 to -40. But I live 63 miles from the Canadian border in ND 😏
Does your loader have a scale on it or do you just measure off the mixer wagon?
the scale is on the mixer wagon not the loader
The diesel fuel is hot when it leaves the engine and goes back to the tank..20,000 plus psi makes heat..my duramax has a fuel cooler on it..your seeing frozen condensation on the fuel cap..one reason some say to keep the tank as full as you can ,less surface area for condensation to develop on a diesel. .the water separator filter isn't there for nothing lol..additives are a must as well,I use them yeat round ..I didn't know cattle feeding was that technical...thanks for the post..
Loved the video Brian, I have been wondering for a long time your thought process on feed.
Wow I have so much respect for our farmers ! God bless you !!! 💜🙏🏼
Thank you, Brian, for showing us your feeding schedule and the contents of your feed. That is something we rarely get on the other RUclips farming sites. I love the detail you give us about your operation. I watch your channel to learn about what goes into the beef I buy. I appreciate your channel.
I only watch one other farm/ranch channel, and that's the Sleep Ranch, which is in the Black Hills. I used to watch the OWL channel, but Mike started saturating the videos with music, which sets off my tinnitus so I had to stop watching. I played music for many years, and now I can't listen to it :-(
52 mcal is a good grow ration for bulls. Keeps the feet on them, without blowing them up. Fat yearling bulls melt like butter.
Terminal fats, that just a first jump..
That was a nice video 👌🏻👌🏻 like the way u explained it ... very good job. More of those 😁😁
Great to see the weather conditions despite the probs u have with it ... spring is coming (sooner or later 😅).
How do u heat in these conditions, something special?
Nice step by step explanations of your various mixed rations. Chopping frozen cattle tanks, Ugh, memories
We like our bunks cleaned up around 4 as well. Nice feed wagon, looks familiar!
Prairie winters ... love 'em or hate 'em. I don't know anybody who loves them. In 1969, Red Deer AB, it didn't get above 40 below for 43 days. Then, there was that week in northern Alberta when it was 55 below, dead calm, for a week. 'Nuff of that. I like this particular video when Brian is describing the morning chores and the science of experience in balancing the feed components. The fireplace will feel extra sweet tonight.
My dad’s eyes watered in the cold too.
AWESOME SONG OF the day, YEAH, 🥶 Freeze your AZZZ OFF 😂😂😂DANG,. DARN, only 20 minute video, maybe at least a 30 minute one please , you guys are AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS 😂🤣😆 keep up the AWESOME WORK 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
I like all of your videos but this one was especially good. I liked how Brian explained the rations. Just all around a good one. I don’t envy your cold weather. I’ll stop complaining now about our teen temps this week.
I really enjoyed Brian's Segway straight FACTS
I’ve got 3 Thermosink energy free waterers. Been around -20F for a couple weeks. They are basically trouble free. I’ve had them for about 5years. Best waterers I’ve ever had.
Hang on. It has started to warm up here in Idaho. A couple weeks of single digits here. Luckily low wind. Lots of snow.
30 degrees now. Maybe it will head east.
Hey Brian, your awesome 👌 thanks for taking the camera! I can watch these videos all day long. Coffee and sonne frames lol
remember the days I had to chip the silage out of the silo because it was too hard for the unloader to work. also freezing fingers and toes while trying to push the chopped hay down shoots from the hay loft and have the freezing wind blow 1/2 back into your face. Built my work ethic rock hard.
I was born and raised on a cattle farm in Namibia, a country just N of South Africa. 5000 hectares of natural grazing. We onlyke added some lick and a salt rock. The cattle grazed on the native sweet grasses and came to the water points mornings and evenings. Water was pumped from boreholes by windmills and outlr only dipping and dosing was mainly against ticks. No supplementary feed needed. They went to market from the land.
Awesome video!!! Was neat to see how and what you feed your animals . Do you just feed them once a day.
yes
Im about 180 miles due East of you on 90. I Can tell you are caught up on Vids by the weather in them lol. Now that was cold we got to -11 might have been -14 also i forget but whats the diff
Excellent details on what you have to do to feed the animals and why. Thanks, very interesting. Bless you for doing that while dealing with the cold.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!!!
Glad we dont have that cold spell overhere, then we have some serious problems whit our stroopwafels for sure,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Watching your video now it Was degrees this morning.were at 23 degrees now .Having a heat wave. I don't know how you stand it out side there .Can't believe we used to play in the cold. To old for it now .you all stay as warm as you can safe ,and well. GOD BLESS YOU ALL and family as well.
Happy New Years Sonne Frames !! Sorry about sending that cold down from the Great White North Eh
Both of you with the camera is the way to do it. Awesome video guys,
Brian's use of corn for the bred heifers is a good one. I've been having issues with some of mine and started adding a forage grain last year to help those that are first time calving. I'm a very small farmer and trying to keep my costs down, but losing calves or first time cows is worse, so it is a balance we have to reach. Of course you guys know all this, but it is nice to share our experiences, for a stress outlet. Love the funny ending, I've had that happen to me, always funnier when it happens to someone else. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time with us, loved it. Have a great remainder of the weekend.
Thanks for the awesome informative video. Good info for other producers. I guess when you’re a RUclipsr it’s a right hand reverser haha that’s some wicked multitasking. You don’t mix in salt or mineral? Free choice?
Thanks guys ,I dont know how you guys do it in such cold weather . I am in Nor Cal where it's 37 f and I hate it . It was great to see more of Brian . God bless your familys . We love you out here .
Why would you live where you hate the weather? Life is to short
@@kurt3543 kurt, I don't think that's what he meant at all. He was just saying that to him, 37° is cold. I also live in NorCal, and that's as cold as it ever gets, and usually only for about a week in winter, so I understand what he was saying. Our average winter temps here are 45° to 55°.
cold 🥶 as ice 🧊 by forgeiner song brian
here in birregurra victoria australia 🇦🇺 28 celsius/82 fahrenheit
waiting for rain 🌧
and listening to 🐉 dragon singing rain 🌧
cheers 🍻
like the water taps on cattle water troughs. easy to get to
4:40 that's how I drive skidsteer with foot controls. Use my knees to push the drive controls and feets to do bucket stuff.
You should have a look at thermasink they were invented up here in Canada the bowls require no power and have always worked for us we have several weeks of below -30 Celsius weather in south saskatchewan and all we have to do is chip a inch of ice to get to water then it’s good to go….. then again if what you have works that’s good too.
The joys of winter chores. Even simple jobs get complicated. There was that day in 1972 when the Oliver Super 88 was pulling the H&S manure spreader in -40 temps and the whole outfit froze while spreading in the field. 💩sicle on wheels.
thanks for explaning feed amounts and what you feed your cows!...do you use molasses to feed your cows?...thanks 4 video. be kind.
I love all your videos! But this one is for sure my favorite. It’s great getting to learn more about the process of feeding
Awesome! Thank you!
Definitely the weather for having blue balls. I'm whining about 38 F; y'all are real men!
Love your videos. "End of the Line" by the Travelling Wilburys comes to mind for a song of the day.
Love you guys cause of your love the Packers. I have been watching since I seen the flag in your office. I'm not farmer by no means. The green and gold connection helps. Plus I have a great relationship with my dad too. Keep it up.
I wouldn't know about TMR if I had not played a video game called Farm Sim 22. In it I have over 200 head of milk cows and make TMR every day. I have learned a lot about farming from that game...
You are such upbeat guys. I look every day hoping for a video. Know that is not possible. You got to be you once in a while but don’t stop carrying the cameras.😍
Oh awesome informative vid boys! Thx!💪🏻🙌👍
The last thing I learned was how to attack a thistle weed, I always learn something from you guys.
Great video, It is really amazing to see the way you make things work. Growing up on a small farm in Colorado, 60 years ago, was much different. Some of what you do now was just beginning to be considered then. We raised Angus as as well, so i enjoy that part of the process.
And here I was just thinking that it was good fencing weather when magically a hole appeared in the fence...
Love how you show what the cattle eat and explain why! I've learned so much from you guys!
Always a good video Cole, Brian, and Ellie. Really nice looking animals.
Loved the explanation of the different rations. Yall stay warm!
I like this video shows 1, how much work and what goes into the beef you get to feed your families it's not just poof there at the grocery store, and 2 how much pride and dedication you guys have and take in your herd, hope it warms up for ya before the claves start coming, stay safe
