Farming life is so much more calming watching it instead of living it......😁

I love your honesty, down to earth commentary and priceless inputs from dad. I love what you’re doing together & your genuine close commitment to each other. I really enjoy watching what’s happening on your farm. God bless and best wishes from Melbourne Australia. Cheers.

Thanks for your videos it's nice to see your love for what you do and how proud your dad is of you (he can't hide it)

I think your spring break will be extended way beyond calving time.

I'm75year old Geezer From Pendleton, New York. Always wanted to be a Farmer, But it never happened although I was Fortunate to work on Farms many times in my Early Life, I Love the Great Relationship you have with you Dad, Cole. Don't ever let it slide, Life is too Short. Super Great Videos, And a great Sense Of Humor!!

Great video! More Spring Break just means more quality time with dad and hopefully more video content! Thanks for sharing!

Glad you are alive and able to be doing chores! It's a privilege to work with your Dad - enjoy it while you can. You have a beautiful farm and family with good values. We love watching - and in these crazy times its good to be able to see family together. God Bless!

Thanks for the smiles Cole!!!

Your dad is hilarious with the Mountain Dew 😂👍🏼👍🏼.

You guys took care of those calf’s, thanks 😀👍🏾🚜

I love how gentle you are with your calves and their mommas

You two work well as a team. Good to see. Have a good breakfast today as a reward. Be safe the rest of the year.

Good video Cole and Cole`s dad,thanks for taking time to make it.

Momma was pretty happy to get her wayward calf back.

Nope, can't run for the border!! Guess you'll be calfenated!! Great video! Really great to see how much care you give the young calves and mothers!!

Good content men! My father and I have worked and farmed together my whole life. People who have that opportunity dont know how lucky they are. We live in Michigan, but have friends in bridgwater, sd. Have hunted pheasants there for years. Keep up the good work. Enjoy watching your channel.

Good demonstration of how farmers/ranchers fight for life of the animals they raise.

Nice cattle facilities and good looking cattle. Enjoy your time together.

Another great video Cole, love your operation

Yay great video guys and Brian I'm glad that you get an extension on your spring break LOLOL

Great footage of the calf sucking; that's 80% + success, that calf will not only survive it will thrive.

Great video!!!seems like y’all are really really busy!!!at least you have work outside to do,I am stuck in the house bored because of the quarantine!!!😂😂😂

It's good seeing others getting animals to adopt the the young of others that wouldn't be able to look after there own. When I used to help with sheep when I was young we did the same sort of thing, if there was any with still birth we would make them adopt a lamb from one that had triplets or was to old

Good work Cole

"My spring break got extended by a week. I think I'm going to Mexico." Don't worry after you finish out calving season I think you still have a week or two before the borders open back up. Then again you may have recorded this before Mexico said "Stay the hell out".

Be thankful you live out in the boon docks. You're much safer there right now than in town cooped up with other people. Here in Louisiana, we've lost 16 people (14 in the Metro New Orleans area) to the COVID 19 virus in the past week. I think if the human race survives this epidemic, you'll see a lot more folks leaving the cities and heading back to the country to put a little space between them and their neighbors!

'We are gonna chuck it over the fence' 'Or we could set it down nicely' 'Nah we are gonna chuck it' Brilliant 😂

Skip the break stay home and help with the calves

Put the dog close to second calf heifer pen while she’s needing to bond to another calf. Sometimes dog helps mothering instinct kicks in quicker helping the imprinting process.

Grrrrr. Stupif YT....didnt give me a notification when this posted!

Morning..

Why do you have to cull a cow with no calf.? Can you not hand milk a cow, and slowly reduce this until she's dry again,? Is it that this is too much work, could it not be a surrogate to a twin or a calf with a mother that can't feed it's calf for what ever reason.? Or am I missing something.? (I know nothing 🧐). I'm learning every time I watch one of your vids. Keep 'em coming. Love you guys.🥰🥰 Rich UK 🥰🥰

An extra week of Spring break and the border to Mexico is closed, Dang it!

Mt Dew thumbs up

What about a small trailer to hook behind the side by side to haul calves let the cows follow you

We do not brand our cattle. In Eastern SD we have smaller pastures and it is easier to watch over our cattle and make sure they don't get mixed up with other farmer/rancher's cattle

How old do you calve out your first time heifers? Mine are usually calving out when they are 2 years old but some farms in my area hold them back another year cuz they say it's easier on them.

I have a question about your farm, if you don't mind: Your farm is referred to in a plural sense, implying that your farm is multiple land parcels in one. And you sometimes say "North farm", etc. I've seen farm real estate listings that show multiple land parcels that are all in the same offering, but are not all contiguous, but still close together. Well, is yours multiple land parcels in one? If so, how did it get to be that way?

@briansonne814

4 жыл бұрын

Over time in your farming career it is not uncommon to add acres to your operation. Contiguous is very nice but it is not always an option. Often times when you buy an old farmstead you continue to call it by the previous owners name in order for the people working in your operation to recognize what piece of land you are referring to.

Can you explain culling and why a cow that loses calves is culled

@SonneFarms

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Kyle, So culling simply means taking a cow or sometimes a bull to market. We cull for a number of reasons including injuries, temperament, and loss of a calf. We cull when they lose a calf because honestly there is not much money in raising cattle the way it is, and they only way we make money to keep the farm going is by having that cow produce a healthy calf. If a cow loses a calf we have to still feed it which is like throwing away money. Plus that cow may have lost her calf due to a genetic disorder meaning she won't ever produce a calf, or she may have a chronic disease prevent her from producing a calf. Hope that answers your question!
