You and your Dad are like2 well oiled machines. Working together with respect and caring for each other. Wonderful sight to watch.

[@tony98discovery]

That's right, father and son always do well on the farm

[@jeanhorne5893]

Thank you Cole and Dad Brian for sharing everything on your farm.Keep warm and safe in the snow. I enjoy watching what ya do.God bless you and your family’s.

You should put that "Big Ole Bag" on a t-shirt. Bet it sell out fast. Joking. Another great video!

[@stan.s7175]

'Big old bag' sounds like a name for an 80's rockband.

[@ashlandgunclub1000]

I’m relieved to know Timmy didn’t fall in the well again 😂 Good to see you remembered your balls Cole 🤣🤣🤣

[@donaschneider]

Every video I watch, I'm impressed by the care you two show for your animals. You aren't over rough with them, keep the barns and eating areas clean, watch for any with problems. You two are a class act! Thank you!❤

[@NonTypicalRacing]

Yes, that seems uncommon nowadays. I totally agree though.

[@tonyjones9715]

Yes they are for sure 👍

[@lancebailey683]

When Lassie barks that Timmy is missing, it’s usually time to check the well.

Cole you do a great job cleaning out that building. Actually you do a great job in taking care of everything. I do believe you had a great teacher, your Dad. As always it’s a great video.

[@homey3051]

I personally truly appreciate the time you guys take to do these vids.

[@tony98discovery]

Me too, the most relaxing time of the day for me is watching them work on this farm.

[@elizabethnewell1689]

Another great video of life on Sonne Farms as my dad used to say ‘doesn’t matter what the weather cattle still has to be looked after’

[@kenp2218]

I grew up on a dairy farm, milking Holstein cows; the chores never ended. You take good care of your animals!!

[@tony98discovery]

Is your dairy farm still in operation?

[@daverukkila9089]

Great song of the day Brian. Since there was one lonely calf put in the barn, I was thinking Lonely Is The Night by Billy Squier.

[@williammerry4746]

You bet we will be watching the next time and the next and the next... We like Brian no matter what type of wild music he likes, and his son, and their beautiful cattle and everything else about this farm and these videos. Miss seeing Tammy, wouldn't mind having Tiffany appear once in a while as well. Keep on keeping on.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

You guys keep things going, from the pen cleaning, to bedding in the barn for the calves. I enjoyed watching, not much time, lots to do on my farm. I hope you all have a fantastic week.

[@suzanne529]

I like watching the corn stalks getting blown into the barn. Gotta keep those cows comfortable and clean!

[@tonyjones9715]

I so look forward 2 the next videos It has become a habit to watch your videos. I really appreciate them. THANK YOU Both👍👍👍👍

A big bag is a good indication for birth coming soon. I'm not bored hearing the terminology. It's a part of cattle stuff.

[@richarde.miller9304]

🤪🤪🤪 Keep the Big Ole Bag aka (BOB) on point that’s the hole point in claving. I must Cole you and your dad remind me of Neil Young, OLD MAN

[@alanatolstad4824]

I'm glad you mentioned the steam, I was gonna ask!---It's a shame watching how you have to bend over to spread the barn lime. Could you do some fancy welding & attach an old bicycle handle bars to raise the bar up to your height?

[@conradnelson5283]

I heard spring starts today. It’s blowing so hard out there. I can believe it blowing it in.

[@arthenry498]

Purty darn good!! You take care of your animals REAL well. As I watch you move them in and out of the areas I am impressed at your Rube Goldberg creation of panels and gates that make up your system. BUT IT WORKS!!! Brian might know who Rube Goldberg is. Not too many with enough history to remember that any more. I am impressed every time I see you and your dad work together. WHAT a fantastic team!! Impressive!! IF, we could get HALF that teamwork throughout this country, the world could never catch up. You guys are great!! I think it would be great to work as part of that team. Impressive.. Thank you guys. I like coming along on all these family trips here. Makes ME feel good, and gives ME some faith in the people in this world.

Thank you Cole for coming to talk to us today at Mitchell Tech. Seeing your passion for this industry is truly inspirational. After hearing you talk today I'm going to start my own farming channel to show people the in depth side of farming as well. My family's 5th generation farm is located by Artesian South Dakota and I'm excited to start sharing the good and bad of our farm as well. Thank you again and God bless you and your family

[@SonneFarms]

I appreciate that!

Pretty cool watching them big cows jump around like little kids when you put the bedding out there in the field

That's right, it's the animals that are happy as they live on this farm.

[@lh8802]

Great video 👍😏👍

[@debt4717]

Cole, I love your creative camera angles and the video quality is outstanding! Your episodes are not only interesting and fun, but you've become an excellent videographer. A lot of other channels could learn from you. A lot of us also appreciate that you don't muddy them up with constant music. Even when you add music to your drone shots, it's low volume, tastefully done and doesn't detract from the visual. The sounds of hard work, machinery and animals is all the music we need. Well done 😊 BTW...love those big 'ol bags.😅😂

[@teresachase47]

Awesome video as always! Stay safe in the weather, good jobs with the calves, and tell Tiffany hi!

I’d say you got that barn cleaning thing down Cole......you clean house that well? With the Bobcat that is..

[@billwhitman1529]

Maybe sometime Brian and you can talk about what you're looking for when you breed your cows. How your avoiding terminal breeding by retaining maternal genetics in your cows, etc.. People need to understand the complexity of the decisions you make every day and the effect it has on the future. Brian has done a nice job of producing bulls that demonstrate exactly what you look for when buying a bull.

[@debt4717]

That would be a really interesting and educational video if they could ever find the time to do it. I think it would go viral.

[@jrolls38]

I just jammed RHchip hard before supper. in my car drumming the steering wheel. So embarrassing. I love it

[@michellenelson9073]

I think Tammy & Tiffany should have there very own John Deere tractors.

[@earlhollar1906]

My daughter-in-law does. It is one of the smaller ones, that they Park in the extra garage Bay. It has a front-end loader and 3-point hitch with all the hydraulics for the snow removal attachments for their large parking area and driveway. Also a large mower attachment for their couple acre yard. With a good size dump trailer for odd jobs. Sadly She doesn't get to drive it much unless my Son is out of town at safety seminars. 😢

[@cathiwim]

I have my own Kubota tractor. Hubby got it for me in 2005 as a housewarming present when we bought this place. Last year he got one of his own, its a size bigger. And has quick release attachments. Im jealous. Lol

[@giles-df9yu]

The problem with the cow you showed last is you need to milk them for a week or it messes the bag up because the calf cannot take all of the milk

[@riwoof]

That udder liked like a dangerous weapon :::::shiver::::: 🐄

[@paulprigge1209]

Very satisfying watching you all managing herd Health. Very relaxing. Cows are waiting on the weather to change to calve!

[@karolschulz48]

Teach them that a big old bag 9 times put of 10 to is on a cow with some age on it. Those are the folks who do not have a bovine background experience. Cow slobber in your crotch. That is one I have never heard before. I wasn't aware that I needed to learn why your crotch was cold but damn that is a good one! Man Cole, the things you teach. Keep the lessons coming!

[@davidschleibaum1127]

Just a idea to use in the winter to keep manure away from the walls. Use some deck boards like Trex that won’t rot on edge 3 or 4 to start with to help keep the inside. You may want to use some screws to hold them in place. The screws can be removed and used next time.

[@earlhollar1906]

I know the saying goes, "if you're 20 miles away from home and you're operating a machine with that level of akill you're considered an expert". In my opinion you have earned expert status. I would like to extend that to all the machines you use for Frozen Cow Patty Scraping . Speaking to Cow Patties, when we had long blizzards or cold spells we were pretty isolated on the ranch so-nar Leisure Time at night. We would play 10- deck Canasta. In the winter months my dad would have them put extra molasses for added energy, when he would have the oats rolled for our 10 milk cows, which made the Cow Patties quite loose. When it was bitter cold and had just snowed The Cow Patties would form a frozen lip higher than the rest when they were solid. Similar to sail rabbits on the highway, we called them ⛵ patties. When you flip them over they sailed and hovered kind of like a frisbee. Kind of humorous what Memories pop into your mind when you're watching somebody scrape manure off concrete.😅😂😊

[@cathiwim]

10 deck? Im impressed!

[@earlhollar1906]
