    I stopped the video just to say how much your RUclips channel is appreciated. Thank you for showing the reality of farm work. . . . yet you also use humor in an interesting way. It is rarely disrespectful. Your love for each other shows through. Thank you. You are a blessing to many people. 😊 . . . and now, back to the video.

    Thanks for another great video.
    It was interesting and enjoyable.
    You folks do a great job of protecting your herd from the storms. My compliments to you for the care you give them.
    Brian my compliments to you for taking that calf to the vet late at night. You saved his life for sure. You are a fine herdsmen.
    You folks are having a good calf season for sure. You take excellent care of your calf’s and cows. Proud of Cole and Brian. An honor to know them.
    Good song and singer Brian. Leonard is popular at our state fair always.
    Hope the storm is not too bad. Really like those movable wind breaks and shelters. Great pieces of equipment.
    Thanks for everything Sonne’s.

    I just can’t say it often enough.. best farming channel on RUclips! Sending the cold calf to the vet (over night stays are not cheap) warmed my heart ( and the calf 😂). Loved that the little bugger was halter broke when u picked it up. May God continue to bless Sonne Farms. Hope the weather forecast is wrong and you all don’t get blasted.

    When my great uncle was alive, he always said when you raise cattle it’s not about the money you’re taking a life in your hands you’re expected to take good care of it, so don’t matter If you get up in the middle of the night, you take really good care of your stock

    When I first started watching RUclips about 3 years ago, there’s a couple channels about farmers abusing their animals. Well I clicked the “do not suggest” button. I knew better, but I wish the people who do subscribe to those channels would watch yours and a couple others I watch and see how real cattleman take care of their animals. You really go above and beyond to save them and keep them healthy. Plus you always give us a good laugh.

    Forced oxygen makes a ton of difference. I took a kitten into the vet and everyone said he would be dead by morning. The next morning the girls were playing with him. The vet has a hypobaric chamber to force oxygen. That cat is pestering me right now! 😂

    • @giles-df9yu
      @giles-df9yu Год назад +1

      I have given more than one calf in that condition a shot of epinephrine, its the drug you use on calfs if you should hit a blood vane with amoxicillin and they are going into shock.

    THAT'S a good lookin calf! Good job,y'all. That calf proves that going the extra mile pays off.
    I've followed yall for a few years,now. I grew up w cattle. At 12 y/o, I was responsible for 200 head. I mean, COMPLETELY responsible for them.
    Now, I'm retiring soon. Can I pitch my tent up there ? I'll be more than happy to sleep in the barn during calving season. Been there. 🤷‍♀️🥰🥰 Love what y'all are doing. Keep up the good work. It's obvious. Your family truly cares about your critters. ❤

    Your animals, are very luck to be, your animals!! You take real good care of them. I really appreciate that. Yeah yeah, it all affects the bottom line BUT, I can tell you two are doing it for more than more than that. You really give a damn. Wonderful to see that! And I have said before, I truly appreciate all the work that goes into making the videos that I get to enjoy right here. One chuckle I got today was when it was getting along toward lunch. Cole said you were going to move some cattle out of an area so they would not pee and poop so much in there and then go to lunch!! THAT is the cool of a farmer. NO shyness there. Been there, done that. I have eaten my sammich sitting among the cow pies myself. Thank you gentlemen.

    So when I go out to check cows at 3 am ,I mostly just listen. Mama cows do a lot of talking when they are about to calve or have just calved. Cows have a language that is pretty easy to understand if you just pay attention. Anyway, I'm sure you know that with all your experience! Your operation is a great example of how beef cattle should be raised....you do an amazing job!

Out here in Central NY we have had a sudden arrival of summer. Syracuse hit 86 & 87 the past few days . Broke the old records. Saw Fargo was in for bad snow. That is suppose to hit us early next week Trees are greening up, flowers are blooming, bees are out, 2 neighbors mowing grass. Snow coming in about Tuesday. Couple more days of spring, then back to reality & snow. Mess up fruit trees & grape vines are going to get hit hard.

    My dad's name was Harvey. . . . interesting. He was brought up on a farm. I realize that the calf's name was for another person, but the name brought back fond memories to me. I just finished having my Storyworth book completed. I have a picture that shows me on the back of a horse with my father when I was two years old. So you see, when you get horsing around with your father, you are making memories. 😮
