I am amazed at the amount of work you need to do on the farm. Equipment repair and maintenance seems to take up as much of your time as the care of your animals. You take wonderful care of your animals, and people who b---- about using animals for food, need to learn that the entire life cycle of birth to harvesting of the animals is performed in a humane manner. You are to be commended.
Me being a small cattle producer here in Oklahoma, I really enjoy the insight you guys give to the viewers. A lot of people don't know or understand the time and sacrifices that come with this lifestyle. That being said I'd sure appreciate the chance to have a calf named after me (Kyle) and the option of purchasing that calf when you have bulls for sale.
Sorry you guys are having some problems with the cows not taking to their calves, it's a bit of a problem, but well worth it, for sure. Hopefully you didn't have any incident while working with those angry cows, but it does happen to the best of us, me too. You have so much to keep up with, cleaning to repairing equipment to fixing fence, etc..... Your days are busy for sure. Good one Cole, enjoyed watching, have a great weekend, what's left of it.
To bad that very few people really understand what farmers really go through to put food on your table or meat between your buns. Doing a great job with your videos. Please keep them coming 😊
Can’t wait for you guys to get back to field work. I just love seeing those big green machines in action! Happy Easter and may God Bless the Sonne Family and farm
thank you and your dad for all the good videos and it's all some to see you guys still working together as father and son all these years and your dad is lucky have a great helper
Brian, 61 is too young to retire! What would you do, besides spoil the grandkids? I hope those bad moms give their heads a shake & bond w/their babies 💕💕
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Good practice with cutting out that blonde hair!!!!........I so love the way you and Brian interact. Brings a smile to ma day!!!!!
Happy Easter everybody! With all the snow we still have in our area rumour has it the Easter Bunny has called his cousin Snowshoe Hare to help him this year.
Talking about retirement and you are only 61? I’m 67 and still working and loving it! But you see what i do! Do you have a written clipboard/checklist so you can remember which vehicle!implement you serviced? You have so many of them!
Heya Mr Brian you've probably explained n answered the question I'm about to ask, but I have forgotten. What is the two story green roof building at 3:02 please? It looks so charming. 🥰
We feel we make a good profit doing it this way. also if you feed them to fat weight you are at the mercy of the market, you have to sell, but if you usually sell lighter, you can always take them higher
Hi guys I think it’s cute your naming claves of your subscribers …. Special happy Jesus day we thank you Jesus u. Create life and sustain it , ty for the sonne farm men and all the mommy and bulls :-)
Back in the 50s as a kid on our rural school bus you could tell who just got on the bus by smell. Could also tell which kid had done chores that morning and whether or not those chores involved pigs or cattle. We all made scents back then.
I have watched your videos over the years and can't help but think that you could work with a city teacher somewhere to put together a video series showing what it takes to raise the cows. So many city kids have no idea what it takes.
You never cease to maze me at the efforts you go to to provide interesting shots during filming. I never miss your videos and give thumbs up on all. Your review of what “is coming up” in your multiple tasks is appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Been a very interesting "calving" video season for us the viewers I would tend to say. Y'all's dealing with the elements and then, with some not so great 1st time momma cows placed a lot of interest-generating material for the viewing public. You all sure put in a lot more work into your farm jobs, than a lot of folks may give you credit for; you sure don't get "top" pay for the excellent work you do. I just wish more folks were aware of the convenience that your end product provides for America. Kudos to you, in every aspect of the word. Peace. ✌✌✌
I'm honored to have a calf named after me! OK-I realize it was probably for another fan, but you made my day. 🙂 Please keep making these great videos. I always enjoy watching.
You guys really are attentive to your calves and soon to be delivering moms. Your system of housing the new norms and trying not to let a mom deliver outside or overnight outside is the best I’ve seen from a cold environment operation here on the tube!
Every time that I see you putting calves into the trailer, it looks like you are herding cat! LOL They just don't want to go where you want them to go!
I’m old, 73, retired, bad back and can’t do much. So I watch probably too much RUclips. But you guys are, IMHO, the best at caring for your animals. Thank you for that and thanks for the great videos.
I liked the Roomba analogy.. I’m sure Tiffany is appreciative of the net wrap practice. Thanks again for the time and effort you put into making these videos.
I just don't see life any better Brian, than working with your son. I just love working with my son no matter what we are working on. Yesterday we installed new steps on my daughter's new Bronco for her, just something about turning tools with your son.
Hey Cole, I was surprised that you mentioned your old man's retirement! Hopefully, you realized if Brian does retire, he'll be a difficult person to replace given how hard of a worker he is!! He's been on the farm over the years and he knows everything there is to know about the claves 😮, tractors, and acres. He's also a great mentor and leader to the rest of us. I don't know what we would do without him or his song of the day! 😊 So, are you sure he's ready to hang up his boots and enjoy his golden years? Or is this just a rumor you heard from someone else? Either way, I hope you're doing well and staying safe.
I recently found your videos and love watching. You have a fan for life!! I like that you both work together, father and son. Anyhow I’d love for you to name a calf after my spouse. His name is Casey. Thank you for all you do!!
It’s always a good morning when y’all post a vid. Love the vids and y’all do a lot for your calves very fun to watch. I would love for a bull calf to be named Leo too
Do you have a specific age you keep the breeding cows until? What do you do with the calves that get orphaned or mama won't feed? Do they just go to the sale barn or do you raise it on a bottle? Or do you give it to Tiffany for your 6 month anniversary? What have you come u with for your calf shelters you are going to make? One thing is a collapsible frame for the mineral feeder and something on the top so you can just grab onto it by the bale grabber to move without any extra steps.
Karl Schulz if I may reply initially on behalf of most Beef cow breeders Condition is main 😟 issue A Cow has to be 101% fit to be Milking and looking after a robust , growing and demanding three month old sucking calves. She then has to have to be healthy , fully stocked up with the correct minerals to be receptive to the BULL selected for her and be able to become pregnant within 2 service attempts Cows cycle ( come on heat ) 18 to 21days approx So because of THE SONNES tight calving schedule Late calving cows are weeded out and sold or culled ( marketed for meat) Remember the VETRINARIAN comes and pregnancy checks all cows December time ? No freeloaders here. Within required calving period - stays Others - one way ticket to SALES BARN I knew of a cow , who was hand reared by ALISTAIR WATSON Snr at Brunthills Fraserburgh Scotland who was 16 years plus and had twins most years. I was lucky enough to be in digs there in the early 1980s . She fairly knew where are all the extra treats were stashed ( oats barley extra turnips, molasses )to keep in Breeding condition til that age. I hope that helps Brian Dawson Edinburgh Scotland 😉
I believe Cole has handled everything there is to do on the farm except milking when they need to bottle feed the mom's milk to a calf. Is that not a skill we need to see Cole develop? I know Brian's sausage fingers are perfect for the job, but Cole can do everything else, why not milking? I see lots of footage for the bloopers reel in the making. Love you Cole. Just messing with you.
Cole, your ortho MD would be so happy to see how well your knee is doing with lifting and carrying all those babies. Love the names today, number 1 Lily, with Easter right around the corner. Great job guys.
That cow checking out what's happening on the other side of the fence had me chuckling. 😃
😂”she’d like to return it!” I might have laughed out loud on that one!! 😂😂
“…and now she’d like to return it.” 😂 ☠️
I think the funniest part of claving is watching you herd the calves. Like watching herding cats.
😂 I was waiting for the cow to kick the camera into orbit.
My AG teacher used to say cows have udders and bulls have bags.
Bulls keep their testicles in a sack
Cows keep milk in a bag
Lol
Regards Brian Dawson Edinburgh Scotland 😀
I never get tired of see the calving….. I love how you two guys handle those babies and moms…. You know Brian….Farmers never retire…. Great video…
I am amazed at the amount of work you need to do on the farm. Equipment repair and maintenance seems to take up as much of your time as the care of your animals.

7:02 Ellie showing Brian how to unload!😂
10:13 Claves tail-whips always crack me up.
Brian and Cole, Another excellent video showing the day to day struggles and events that you go through daily managing a herd. God Bless
I love seeing how other people take care of their cows
Me being a small cattle producer here in Oklahoma, I really enjoy the insight you guys give to the viewers.

Cole.......Nice self preservation identifying the threat of a wood pecker. You must protect the future of Sonne Farms.
To bad that very few people really understand what farmers really go through to put food on your table or meat between your buns. Doing a great job with your videos. Please keep them coming 😊
The return of the big ol bags is back wooo! I love that saying. In my head it’s always said exactly as Cole says it every time 😂
Can’t wait for you guys to get back to field work. I just love seeing those big green machines in action! Happy Easter and may God Bless the Sonne Family and farm
really enjoy your videos guys watch them religiously... really appreciate the fact you keep it real and honest. awesome!
thank you and your dad for all the good videos and it's all some to see you guys still working together as father and son all these years and your dad is lucky have a great helper
It looks mighty cold up there! Here in Texas, we are already wearing shorts. Stay warm!!
Wishing the Sonne Farms Family a Happy Easter. God Bless
Never seen so many moms give up their claves. You’ll do a great job.
So many Sonne Babies! Excellent work, Sonne Mommas (even the bad mommas who, it seems, are really just confused).
I always look forward to watching your videos 😊
Best camera angles ever! Hoppy Easter!
She would like to return it
That’s funny 😂
Love the cow close-ups ! Have a blessed Easter
Don't need to pack bags. No guilt trip here. ❤❤❤
Happy Easter to you guys as well. Best channel on RUclips.
high praise!
Brian, 61 is too young to retire! What would you do, besides spoil the grandkids? I hope those bad moms give their heads a shake & bond w/their babies 💕💕
Happy Easter hope you get a basket, hope the Intern is adjusting to farm life haven't seen her or the cats for awhile keep up the interesting content.
Happy Easter 🐰 Sonne family!!
Brain won’t never retire
Leg workout ain't all, looks like a full body workout to me. Thanks for all the hard work!
Glad you got the mamas straight.
Great camera angles! Thank you
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Good practice with cutting out that blonde hair!!!!........I so love the way you and Brian interact. Brings a smile to ma day!!!!!
Happy Easter everybody! With all the snow we still have in our area rumour has it the Easter Bunny has called his cousin Snowshoe Hare to help him this year.
😅😅😅
Great team.
The outro was worth a thumbs up all by itself.
Btw awesome vids I’m a big cow farmer with my dad and friend in ND
awesome video. You and your dad are awesome/ So glad that new calf is learning how to suck. thank you guy so much
I used to joke with the kids saying we were going to buy a couple of cows and name them T-Bone and Ribeye.
I was just wondering if you have considered using chopped hay for feed to reduce waste or if it wouldn’t be worth the investment?
awsome video cole the mother cows will go to thier young eventullay given time lol thumbs up and shared
Wow fancy. A camera shot from the hood of he car! Lol
Talking about retirement and you are only 61? I’m 67 and still working and loving it! But you see what i do! Do you have a written clipboard/checklist so you can remember which vehicle!implement you serviced? You have so many of them!
Awesome!! I made the list
I always laugh when you "Big Tough Guys" are herding the small calves around. Happy Resurrection Day!!!
Heya Mr Brian you've probably explained n answered the question I'm about to ask, but I have forgotten. What is the two story green roof building at 3:02 please? It looks so charming. 🥰
The bad thing about milking cows is first you have to get one teet and then the udder
Drunk Texting. Guilty
Hi to Cole and Brain and Jeff and family Great job 🌈☀️🐂🐂🐂🚜🚜🚛🚛Storla Station ✨⛽✨🧢👕✨🐇🐰💐🌹🌹✨🍩🍩☕☕💌💞💞
Any update on the twins?
Wow you named my Wife Lisa and granddaughter Lilly today could do with next granddaughter Piper if it comes out
The reason you don’t bed and set the Shead on the bedding
We love to watch your videos!! My name is Maurisa!!
Obtuse! Did you watch Shawshank Redemption the night before?😂
Would you tell us why you sell the cows off before they hit full market weight, is it lack of the right feed fo finish them.
We feel we make a good profit doing it this way. also if you feed them to fat weight you are at the mercy of the market, you have to sell, but if you usually sell lighter, you can always take them higher
@@SonneFarms Thanks
Hi guys I think it’s cute your naming claves of your subscribers …. Special happy Jesus day we thank you Jesus u. Create life and sustain it , ty for the sonne farm men and all the mommy and bulls :-)
Hey that was my first clave AMSR ,LOL
How much calves do you have a year
Always love some CCR
Back in the 50s as a kid on our rural school bus you could tell who just got on the bus by smell. Could also tell which kid had done chores that morning and whether or not those chores involved pigs or cattle. We all made scents back then.

Totally! ❤
You guys take better care of your calves then anyone I have ever seen
That’s why they are successful!
awesome- Creedance Clearwater rocks!!! loved song of the day
You never cease to maze me at the efforts you go to to provide interesting shots during filming. I never miss your videos and give thumbs up on all.
Your review of what “is coming up” in your multiple tasks is appreciated.
Keep up the good work.

Kudos to you, in every aspect of the word.
Peace. ✌✌✌
Hmm... A summer of Brian-gate building in Cole's future.
Had a few bad moms of our own this year during calving. Happy Easter to all of you.
I'm honored to have a calf named after me! OK-I realize it was probably for another fan, but you made my day. 🙂 Please keep making these great videos. I always enjoy watching.
Sandy!
God Bless ya'll and Happy Easter!! ✝
"She would like to return it" Too funny, morning coffee and Cole's comedy don't mix, now I have a mess to clean up!! Love the videos!
You guys really are attentive to your calves and soon to be delivering moms. Your system of housing the new norms and trying not to let a mom deliver outside or overnight outside is the best I’ve seen from a cold environment operation here on the tube!
Very well done video Thank you very much
Everyday is "fun day" at Sonne Farms...I agree about the cow checking out the other side.of the fence.
Every time that I see you putting calves into the trailer, it looks like you are herding cat! LOL They just don't want to go where you want them to go!
The bulls got their job done in short time
Moving the new calf barn instead of having to clean it out seems a lot easier. 👍
I’m old, 73, retired, bad back and can’t do much. So I watch probably too much RUclips. But you guys are, IMHO, the best at caring for your animals. Thank you for that and thanks for the great videos.
Great job on the vacuum. Always great to do a small scale run through before the bale processor video!
I liked the Roomba analogy.. I’m sure Tiffany is appreciative of the net wrap practice. Thanks again for the time and effort you put into making these videos.
I just don't see life any better Brian, than working with your son. I just love working with my son no matter what we are working on. Yesterday we installed new steps on my daughter's new Bronco for her, just something about turning tools with your son.
Got some mighty fine-looking little cows keep up the good work

So, are you sure he's ready to hang up his boots and enjoy his golden years? Or is this just a rumor you heard from someone else? Either way, I hope you're doing well and staying safe.
Farmers never retire they just get put out to pasture Brian
Cole maybe u need a maternity ward for them special ones, but good job Dr Cole them calfs there looking good. 😊 some of tge male calf look pretty big
Aw Cole. Such a cute butt in your face. Those babies are so darn cute!
I recently found your videos and love watching. You have a fan for life!! I like that you both work together, father and son. Anyhow I’d love for you to name a calf after my spouse. His name is Casey. Thank you for all you do!!
welcome Tina!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Sonne farms!!
So impressed by the way ya'll work together and all of the machines that ya'll work with/on. Sending warm hugs from South Georgia.
How about, "A Bull Named Sue"? ( My Gramps used to milk the Mother and rub the milk on the calf and the Mother would accept it!)
Hi Cole I was wondering if Brian could name one for my dad who passed away his name was Thomas but Tom for short. If not its ok.
im pretty sure we did already
You guys should buy a trailer to hook up to one of your rangers and then you can put the calf in it if you have a calf out in the field.
Another very interesting video Thank you
It’s always a good morning when y’all post a vid. Love the vids and y’all do a lot for your calves very fun to watch. I would love for a bull calf to be named Leo too

Condition is main 😟 issue
A Cow has to be 101% fit to be
Milking and looking after a robust , growing and demanding three month old sucking calves.
She then has to have to be healthy , fully stocked up with the correct minerals to be receptive to the BULL selected for her and be able to become pregnant within 2 service attempts

So because of THE SONNES tight calving schedule
Late calving cows are weeded out and sold or culled ( marketed for meat)
