As a city dweller, I’ve only spent time on my grandpa & cousins’ farms over the years (I’m 71). I absolutely love this channel. Brings back memories and learning new ‘strategies’ I’ll never use. 😂

I’m just turning 71. I started out on my families dairy farm in Oklahoma. We finally had to give up the ghost because of a drought and move to town. I wonder how my life would’ve been different if we stayed on the farm and learned how to run it. I love this channel to.

Hi 👋 Cole Sonne from South Dakota!!
The zappy slappy. Brings back memories. In high school we had to go get lay mash and scratch at the feed store. My best friend went with us and while my step dad was waiting to order the feed we wandered around the store being obnoxious as only 15 year olds can be. I saw the zappers hanging on the wall and took one down. It already had batteries and I showed it to my friend who'd never seen one before. I had the button under my fingers and he's looking at the business end with its points and asks me how it works. So I tell him it wouldn't shock unless you put some pressure behind the points so he puts two fingers on the electrodes and gives a little push and nothing happens. Now I'm still holding the handle with the button under my fingers but my friend doesn't suspect a thing so he puts the palm of his hand on the points and pushes, nothing happens. So I said "guess you gotta push it harder than that" so he takes the end and jabs it into his thigh real close to the fly of his jeans. And I pressed the button. You ever seen Angus Young playing his guitar while lying on stage and spinning around like he was running? Well that's kinda what we had in the feed store. Right down to the wailing of his guitar. I acted surprised and he laid there for a moment before he got up and you could see the rest of the folks in the store looking at us. Well, he said "guess I pushed it too hard" and he took the end of the zapper and jabbed in his thigh again. And I pushed the button. Again. And like before he grabbed his crotch, dropped to the floor and did his Angus Young impersonation. I was trying not to laugh and he slowly got up from the floor. He grabs the thing from me jabs it into his foot and nothing happened, he didn't know about the little white button. So he handed it back to me saying 'Ha you broke it!' and I kid you not, jabbed himself in the thigh for a third time. And like the good, loyal friend I was, I pushed the button. With the same results as the first two times. The patrons of the feed store were having a blast, best show I'm sure they ever saw when the old guy who worked there and knew every thing you ever needed to know about poultry, pigs and cattle, grabbed my new favorite toy out of my hands and told us to get out before my friend found the castrating bands. To this day, 40 years later, my friend never figured out what was going on.

Rarely do I have to lol at a comment
Keep learning from Brian.. I lost my dad too early.. the experiences they have been through will teach you so much if you listen
We hope Jeff feel better tomorrow !
That is one snazzy rig. If I were one of your cattle, I would be proud to be wrangled, funneled through that contraption, stuck with needles and covered in goop. Very proud indeed. Get well soon Jeff
Like you said I bet after a few more times of using the new Heeler system you'll get into a good rhythm of how to set it up, so it works best for you. Thanks for the video like always!
You were all worried, but THE CATTLE read the manual they knew exactly what to do.
Looks like that new machine will work well and knowing you will get the kinks worked out and excited for anything that makes your work easier and more quickly..........always good to have new "toys" to make our lives easier! I say toys, as it makes it not seem so much like work..........LOL Blessings
7:08 that cow saw that calf dissapear like magic and she was like, "UH-UH I DON'T WANNA DISSAPEAR!"
Wow those masses of flies you eradicated were something. Super nicelookingAngus cattle
the good news is cows are smart and will learn that new heeler system
I was called away from some work to help an uncle move some steers. One steer broke from the pack and was running at me in a 12 foot wide narrow chute. (I am a city slicker.) I did not have much time to get out of his way. It meant jumping a 3 barb wire fence. I was 17 at the time. I clapped my hands at the last moment and the steer turned 90° and ran directly at the fence. He broke all 3 wires and kicked up his heels as he was now in the open pasture. My uncle came over and asked if I was alright. My reply was, "Yes, but I'll probably dream about it tonight." I still remember it. 😮 Your videos help me recall some events from the past. Take care.
Well, that's a pretty neat rig. You guys have some good-looking animals.

Thanks for another great video Cole and Brian. You did a great job putting the bunk line feeder together. Once again great teamwork by the Sonne team. I see all these comments about you falling into a bunk but guess it was cut out. Why did you do that. ??? Don’t have instragram. Oh well. Super song of the day Brian. The Bellamy brothers are great. Nice looking bunk feeder system you did. Good job. You have a great line of tools and equipment to get the job done. Nice. You take care and be safe. Looking forward to the Next Video. Thanks for everything Cole and Brian. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Your new portable corral is damn cool. Wish we had those here in Ireland. What came to my farming mind was at the start on the video on you using it, it almost looks like you need a third person on the other side to be there on call. In my farming opinion 2 people operating it is too much to handle with all the other stuff taking place. By the way pops said ORFICE! Thanks again for the great videos gentlemen.

Arrowquip is in the UK - it is an internationally sold Australian product not USA
We have it and wondering how we worked our cows without it. We took those two panels as well. They designed it liked that especially for calves so you can get up close to them. It’s basically like your hydraulic arrow shot, just a portable version. Your cows look amazing.
For a dried up pasture, your cows and calves look really well fed. I appreciate how well you care for your livestock. Not just the feed and medical care but how well you regard them in general. I almost think they appreciate your care and work with you to help care for them.
Great video. Hope Uncle Jeff feels better quickly.
That is a pretty slick setup you have for working the cattle. You will get it all figured out and suited for your use. Again I like how good this farm treats and takes care of their livestock!!!!!!!!
Thanks for taking such great care of those rib eyes and thanks for sharing your hard work! Awesome video!
Love the “I’m being interrupted”.. with the mooing choir. Great video. Thank you.
Great video Cole some piece of kit 👌
Loved the ending
I remember uncle Jeff getting tackled last year, I hope he gets to feeling better soon.
Now that’s a sweet setup
I had "heelers" but, mine were from Queensland Autrauilia. I had several of them bred by a friend who had a small ranch near Grand Junction, Colorado. We were partners in some stud horses he owned, and, after watching his dogs work, I got my first one. I loved them, but, they were one family dogs for sure. Now I have a corgi, they too are herding dogs, the breed is over a thousand years old, and, despit their small size I have seen them herd some big cows.
Hello looks good you run them through like you been use all along. Cattle look great.
Cole, great video. About time you done some work. LOL. Take care guys.
My boss has a large Rawhide portable corral, the back part where the two gates are a lot closer, it also has a hydraulic squeeze alley and a self catch head gate, also the transport wheels raise and lower hydraulically. We love it.
Good video. Lots of flies.
Things are always changing either for the better or maybe for the worst. Thanks for showing us.
Aeroquip uses really impressive hardware , looks so heavy duty
Thank you Sonne farms!!!

Farmers are definitely optimists as opposed to pessimists. When the comment is made "things couldn't get any worse", the optimist Farmer will always reply, "Oh yes they can"!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great system. Anything that makes it easier to work those cows is a plus. Hope you had a great weekend. God bless.
It was so much fun and interesting to watch you use the airoquip. Thanks for showing us!

Wow so many cows awesome video Brian and Cole
Congratulations on your cattle work today. I really enjoy it.
Erector set are all sorts of fun to play with if you can imagine what you want. I have to draw out what I want to build and check to see if I have the parts.
Grounds man arrived!!!🤣😂
Cole being interrupted (How rude!) 😂😂😂 Love the channel!
awsome video cole like you said i bet after few more times of useing the new heeler system youll get into a good rhythem of how to set it up so it works best for you thumbs up and shared
Sure hope Jeff feels better soon! That new system is pretty cool!
Nice work!
Great job Brian and Cole the new system seems to work very well. That was funny to see Cole cut down the brush along the building. Stay safe keep up the good work videos are awesome.
great video and great job working the cattle. Really enjoyed it very much
The cows couldn’t wait to get in the HEELER either. Love the Arrowquip stuff,you guys will figure it out 😳😳😢change is hard sometimes. Oh also nice looking cows and calves. Thanks guys.
Oh heavens at the flies!!!
Cost-cutting foliage-viewing? Tammi needs a holiday! Brian, if you can't smell skunk, do you think you might have had COVID? Cuz you're just not that old 🤣I'm impressed w/the Arrowquip systems! Have you handled the Herefords yet? Did I miss it? Just wondering whether they're less shy now 💕💕
Nice setup, the cows and calves just about worked themselves.
Amazing piece of equipment!
Great video, nice to see that you are doing well, hope Jeff gets better soon. Nice heeler, seems like the cows did better in it. Keep up the great work.
Cole murdering bushes at the end was hilarious!!!!
All of that came from that one unit. That Arrowquip unit is amazing 😮. Gotta love innovation and technology.
I use skunk as a human scent hider when deer hunting. It must work cause I haven't seen a deer in years.🤣
I truly enjoyed this video! Change is never easy no matter what it is about. It look like your process went very smoothly today even though I’m sure the panels and gates for a different it allows things to go a little quicker I thought but I wasn’t running a clock and I didn’t have the time of how long it took before but it seem as if your cattle were calmer and not fighting to go in or not trying to jump out of areas, But rather calmly going where they needed to go!!!! I thought that was really good to see because it made it easier for each of you to do the job you were in charge of. I also think the father-son team is such a winner to watch whatever it is you’re working on and I really enjoy your videos because of that. Still praying for more rain for you guys. God bless you for all that you do. Stay strong and don’t let your faith ever leave you!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Arrowquip seems to be a good setup. Nice going. Love the chainsaw massacre scene.
Well with any pens you have that's new, different, it takes a little getting used to. We bought a new sweep pen that took some getting familiar with and after a short learning curve, it works great for us now. A couple of times with the old hand made pen, we had some injuries, from lack of good cattle managing, to only one with the new, where I got kicked. Totally the cows, uh, my fault. Love the little skit at the end. Great one Cole, thanks, have a great week.
South Dakota Electric Chain Saw Massacre! Oh the humanity!
Love you guys I watch all of your videos. Every day evening I watch your new or old video and my mind calm down and get easy sleep. For me all your videos are meditation.
Happy Labor Day men .God Bless greatly enjoy your video !!!!

Another quality cattle working day.
Sweet new rig hope it works out well for u
Nice descriptions.

I always enjoy watching you work on the farm. And the portable corral is good to have. I look forward see more in the coming weeks. Keep up the good work. From Vancouver Canada Eh!
Dang...those are some good lookin' cattle!

I made it to Storla Station on Labor Day. Didn’t get to meet Brian or Cole but I did meet the Storla Station guard kitty. Neat setup and I’m glad it’s doing well for the farmers in that area. Praying you guys get some rain cause everything is looking too dry for early September.

I just had a cool idea, what if the cows walked through a area with a blower on one side, and a trap or vaccume on the opposite side to trap the flies, could be a giant sheet of sticker paper, perhaps on a roll, or a giant funnel with a vaccume to suck them up, could remove all the flies on there backs, and perhaps start a chicken feed business, if you could collect them. I love inventing things like this, wish I had more money to bring my ideas into the world. I have hundreds.

Good idea but maybe there are way more flies out in the pasture. I was thinking about an attachable fly trap to the critters back that would trap flys with bait like a wasp trap does. Made out of cardboard and stuck on the critters back with stick um. When they fall off they bio degrade,
I thought I was the only guy using a sawzall for cutting hedges!!
