2 Potloads head to the Sale Barn

[@lynnebusson]

Cole and Brian, apologies if you know this already. In horse breeding a foal can sometimes be born too fast, or the brain doesn't quite kick in that they are born. They are known as dummy foals and have similar appearance to your calf. Some vets devised a system of ropes, which basically you put around the foal, then squeeze down them from head to tail, giving the foal the feeling of being born. That has had a good outcome for setting off the hormones needed and a very good recovery for the foal. I have no idea if it works with calves. If you are interested, you can search the Madigan foal squeeze technique on you tube. I hope the calf is ok.

Seen it done, seen it save a Very expensive Arabian colt in less than 15 minutes.

Everyday is a school day in life !! Amazing ; great advice Regards Brian Dawson Edinburgh Scotland 😀

[@SbrGrendel65]

Hopefully the Bull Clave gets better. Seemed odd to be shaking after being in the heater. Looking forward to the update on him in next video;

Yeah that happens you get older you start thinking about this old school days

[@alanatolstad4824]

Fingers crossed for baby bull.---Cole, I did wonder about you hopping that fence, worried about that knee.

[@tommychew6544]

I thought the same thing about him running across possible uneven ground.

[@jordanroberts1519]

Anytime some doofus blue hair on the internet claims farmers don't care for their cattle, point them to the 14:00 mark of this video and tell them to pound sand. Well done, Cole!!! At least got him up and at 'em.

[@MC-re2ry]

Hauler's dream. Back up to the same chute and drop a load and get a load without turning a wheel. Nice. That guy will be looking for a Sonne haul again.

[@tommychew6544]

Had a good laugh about Brians Dentist bringing up that wooden ball story.🤣 I always remembered that son of the day as 'In My Hands Again', had to look it up. Hope you guys get enough but not too much moisture for spring planting this year, I know we are a fair amount behind average here so far. Thanks for the video!

[@ardellforth6366]

Congratulations on being shouted out by Corbett Wall on his feeder flash video on the price you received for this group of heifers

[@Ergzay]

Which episode was that?

[@ardellforth6366]

​@Ergzay about 10 days ago

[@fabriceenjalbert4538]

14:50 mama cow reaction .. great

[@wayner806]

Indeed!

[@maryannardan4159]

Love how Elly was right there with Cole helping the new baby bull. Cole I can see you helping all the children in your family helping them take their first step. Again Sonne farms is taking amazing care of their cattle, Cole and Brian really do an outstanding job of raising their cows. God bless.

[@johnwudarcki9315]

How big would an operation have to be when they would just put it down?

[@waynejones5239]

If you can get that calf up and going it's money in the pocket if not it's a loss for feeding the cow all year

[@garybilan1109]

good job helping that baby calf love the way you and dad looking after the animals God Bless

[@bettiewatson2949]

No better video than watching all those beautiful babies. 😍

[@henryshaner6483]

I am so glad you show the good the bad and the ugly things of your Business/Life so we see and understand the down side also is important prayers for the calf to respond if possible god bless you guys

[@asquithmainlines699]

Never heard of a cattle liner referred to as a potload before. Immediately I thought of pot roast and stewing beef. Hopefully that little guy finds his strength and pulls through whatever is wrong with him. You should name him Forrest! Run Forrest Run.

[@dannaumann9758]

Those trailers hauling cattle are commonly called “cow pots”.

[@wayner806]

We called that same style of trailer a pot also. If it was a single deck, we called that one a straight. But pot roast sounds really good now that you bring that up!!!

[@asquithmainlines699]

@@wayner806 Thanks any idea where that name comes from?

[@paulprigge1209]

I think we’ve always referred to him as that and I’m from a different part of the country. But probably just a little bit older than you at 60+

[@wayner806]

@@asquithmainlines699 Google search shows that pots are double decked but I couldn’t find how the name came about. When we had a pot show up, I felt we were big time but most of the time we had an older gentleman that lived locally with a straight that hauled for us. Key memory of him-he had two silver dollars that he carried for years that he always showed us and they had rubbed against each other until they weren’t much bigger than quarters. As a kid I was fascinated to see those every time we saw him.

[@richardporcelli5309]

Cole, if it had been me in that race instead of you, I probably still would’ve come in second. Congratulations on the win!

[@ar-taqarmando226]

Thank you both again for taking the time to upload your content! It's a lot of hard work to do, especially when you are doing a bunch of hard work.

[@ar-taqarmando226]

Remember everyone, Cole and Brian respond to you only on here. This is the platform that they will talk to us on.

[@chuckyc6912]

You sure do look after your animals Great to see. Great job

[@kelly-annejenner486]

Ahh Cole so that’s where you got your experience of running away and jumping over fences from these scary momas! I have to say though how amazing was that mum, she seemed genuinely concerned for her calf and was patiently waiting for him to come to her. Hope he came good it definitely isn’t lack of love from both of you guys that’s for sure xx

[@williamwomack]

Wishing the best for the calf, hope the little feller turns into the biggest bull yet. Lone hurdler, 😂 love these stories:)

[@arthenry498]

Always a pleasure to spend time with the Sonne guys!! You two work together so well, it makes me want to be a part of the team. Thanks again for an informative and inspiring video. Great work guys.

[@rosemarieherman7790]

Cole, you’re too honest. You didn’t have to say that you were running against yourself! Hope your baby clave gets stronger. I watch you guy’s doing the same things and I still love it. 🌹❤️ NJ

[@jamieraupp3453]

I have the same 110 hurdles story. Ran by myself, except my high school had a crap track and this was at a good track, so my stride got jacked up, so I basically had to stop and step over one hurdle. Still got first place.

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

I hope your little bull gets better and the vet can sort him out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amym8479]

Thank you for another great video. You are great stewards of your land and cattle.

I saw you takeoff in the corner of the screen. I guess when you were going after the calf, that was funny to see you Zoom ‼️🤓

Looked like the heifers you sold and the ones you bought were about the same size.

I thought the same thing, I am not a farmer so if that was the case what would be the reasoning for that ?

Good day gentlemen, real glad to hear the sale went well. Cole you impress me all the time. The care you show the calves. Coming in first in the race. lol.

We had a heifer calf do the same thing, almost worse though. She was called ‘tipsy’ cause she was tipsy 25/8 and we sold her to a nice family to keep her as a pet. Think she’s still alive

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Cole and Brian. It was most interesting and enjoyable. Sorry you are having problems with that bull calf. Looks like a nice size calf but just not taking off. Glad you are taking it to the vet. Let us know how he does. Hopefully he will get better. Time to clean the calf barn and put in new bedding. You both are excellent herdsmen and treat your livestock super good. Thanks Sonne’s. You are the best. Nice loads of heifers going to the sale barn and nice ones you got in return. Hang in there. Busy day you and dad had with everything going on. Brian thanks for the song of the day. I have to check that one out. Don’t know that one. Thanks Brian. Nice work setting up those wind breaks and feed bunks. Good equipment to have. Thanks for everything Cole. You both take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Hi Brian and Cole! I have watched your videos almost since the very beginning. I really am a big fan and enjoy the info and funny banter. I watch reruns a lot! I have a special request to ask of you guys. Next claving season would you please name a heifer clave Zipper? I was given that nickname when I was Little girl from my dad who passed about 8 years ago. That would mean a lot to me. Please consider my request. Keep the wonderful videos coming!

[@Patricia-l9n]

We. had a calf like that this year. Just no energy at all. (had some last year also). Tried colostrom, getting it up, things all farmers try. Called vet. No one around. Finally was going to put in warmer for the night. Vet called, took it to vet, he loaded it up with lots of stuff. Said it was low on selenium.( Last years calf also). took it home and put in warmer for the night. Next day he was 100% better. He is a big calf so legs are curved but he's up and around and living. Gonna put out selenium blocks before they calve from now on. It takes about 3 months to get into system of cows so they both benifit.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

I dreamt a calf was named after me. Maybe that's close enough. You certainly have many that deserve it better. I'd still be so excited and proud. Please. So great seeing them coming and going. That's just so awesome.

He’s what we call here in Ireland a big ‘dopey’ calf.. hopefully comes good

[@roythayer9850]

I had a calf act that way a couple months ago. Would lay in the trees in the same spot all day and wouldn’t really take milk. But I saw him walking in the pasture with his mom in the early morning. He’s still not as active as the other calves, but weird how he lived without much milk
