Hard Pull! Biggest calf of the Year!

[@24bidy]

Your Dad would make a great vet. I like the way he help the mom he was not aggressive pooling the calf he just let the mom do all the pushing he only help a little. So so nice of hem respecting a animal :)

[@Avocetexotics]

Wow. What a big baby. The pull was probably the best I have seen on youtube. How he worked with the moms and pulled when she pushed instead of pulling it straight out.

[@mpedmar9701]

Cole, you are blessed with a Great Father ! Make sure to let him know that you are thankful for all of the Knowledge that he shares with you. Love the Father son bond !

[@nicfrieler6684]

Great video. Your Dad would make a great Teacher.

Gentle pull . As a woman I'm impressed. Its not usual to give them so much time . Thank you

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!

[@Larry-325]

Real interesting for someone who isn't a farmer. I have seen caving before but not a difficult one delivered like this. You guys really do have to know it all. From welding to delivery. Whole new appreciation for what you do!!! Great video. Thanks!!!

[@kathy9363]

Thank goodness you were there for her. Saved them both. Your Dad definitely knew what he was doing. I'm sure he has a mountain of knowledge to hand down to you. Also you both work very well together!. Enjoy your videos❤

Thanks!

“Sometimes it’s easier to retain it if you learn the hard way”. Couldn’t agree more! Nice pull & Great video gentlemen

[@mandykal]

New sub here, clueless to farming but learned a lot. What I like about these videos is not only the hard work effort put into this, but also the compassion. I like the videos with your dad in it education by experiences. Cherish these moments...

[@GratefulNachos]

I like the addition lately of your dad. Lots of knowledge. Glad the little (big) guy made alright!

[@sparklepurple24]

I love hearing the wisdom passed down... even if it's all been said before! I call that "The wisdom of the white hair". Good job dad! I know your son is a smart one but sometimes we just want to help them avoid learning things the hard way!

[@bobmorrison9376]

It’s like I’m hooked on a tv show. Came across one video and was fascinated and now I’m trying to watch all of them to get caught up and current. Love what you all are doing and love the chemistry between Cole and Brian. Keep doing the videos, teaching, drone video, and of course having fun.

[@richardalmendarez5942]

Cole u and ur dad r awesome together enjoy ur videos

[@lewislindsey1946]

Cole, we were just talking about pulling calves! I can tell Brian knows his business. It can be studied all day, but until you live it you don't understand it. You do understand it - you have lived it! You do what must be done.

[@greentransfer135]

many young ones come out of university think with big ego and looking down at jobs and hard works like this from above,i was like that too. Until i understood how toxic office and city life is. Life on farm teachs man real connection between nature and simplicity of survival.Also with its all sweat and hardness it brings special peace into soul as one doesnt have time to speculate and finaly can compare with that buzzy-ness (bizniss) out there. When listenin this father plus looking at his hands, color of his voice and sense of words...it is real treasure. This experience to start to comprehand it can be long process.

[@garlandhenry6792]

I really enjoy listening to your dad. Great video thanks

Good on you dad nothing like a practical education and your son is a good listener. I was also taught my parents on a sheep dairy and beef farm over 64 years ago and alway stored there information in my brain it is still with me today. Good luck with the rest of your calving from new Zealand

[@phillippeterman1051]

Pay attention, your dad is a very wise man. You will learn from his experiences.

[@dustinadams9136]

You to are doing a great job showing and explaining the good and the bad of having cows and calves. Being able to watch things like that and have your dad to talk you through those tuff moments is priceless! He seems to be a very smart man and a good teacher. I’ve been around many different things when it comes to animals but I’m not a good teacher when it comes to helping others learn it.

[@cherryfarms2135]

97 pounds is crazy, don’t think I’d be keeping that bull. Calving season is always fun

[@abdelhamidahlouch6149]

You pulled the calf in a very professional way .you were slow ;you pulled when the heifer pushes so the heiffer does not suffer .

[@SonneFarms]

I appreciate it!

[@legacygfarm4302]

Great video! Words of wisdom from Brian. I have lost a couple of cows and calves this spring. Learning the hard way. I was raised around cows on my grandparents farm and was away from it for many years. Last year I was able to purchase that farm and am starting up a small cow/calf operation. The day you loose one are tough but you keep going.

[@SonneFarms]

Glad you could buy the farm! Good luck to you!

Gentleman that was a master class demonstration of how to calve a cow using a calving stick,instead of the usual clowns that panic ratchet in a straight line and then wonder why they have a dead calf prolapsed cow possibly a trapped nerve and if she survives this ordeal struggles to get back in calf. Bull calves nearly always go full term .🇬🇧👍 p.s your farther gives good advice remember it well 👍

[@Wemius61]

I came here to say this. Sometimes the person on the ratchet looks as though they're working a water pump, but that was lovely - you took your time and pulled with the heifer.

[@jamesspires8096]

Great to hear wisdom from your dad my father isn't around and my dad isn't into farming and ranching but I wanna start a small farm/ranch

[@laurenwilds5273]

We watched this video right before our first time heifer calved. Because of this video I knew what to do when she wasn’t able to calve on her own. He wasn’t quite 97 pounds but he was pushing 90. With a giant head. Thanks for your videos!

Ohhhh I know what you mean, bubbles a first time calver ,her calve was massive she started having it just after I finished the afternoon milk I put her in the small barn, it was 4.30 ish finished the jobs I had to do checked on bubbles popped home had a sandwich went back and sat down with bubbles, at 5.30pm she was pushing I got the roaps around the calves front legs i was going with her contractions calve came out lie there for a few minutes then had a heart attack and it was all over, got the vet out he said most unusual but it was too big for her, it was massive I've never seen one that big before, in the 10 years I've been working with cow's poor bubbles she was such a lovely tempered girl, her next calve was normal 😀👍thank goodness.

[@1striperon]

Wow. First time I watched this video. Brian, you showed tremendous skill pulling the calf. You coordinated with the cow’s contractions, pulling when she pushed, and didn’t hurry. I’ve seen people who just winch the calf out as fast as they can. Hurts the cow. Your way is so much better. 👍👍👍

[@kimberlyanne434]

It’s nice to see the respect you and your Father have for each other. Very interesting video‼️ I’m from Chicago and your Dad knows the Bears and Packers have die hard fans. Difference is the people own the Packers in Wisconsin. That was a humongous calf, wow so much to do on a farm. Major respect I have for both of you knowing so much 🙌🏻

You think Michael Bloomberg could have done that? .... Great job men.

[@michaelbruning5786]

Video's from Farmers need to be sent to the President so that he can show the likes of people like mini-Mike just how hard Farmers actually do work. This was awesome. Brought back a few good memories. We also used to breed and raise rabbits. Now that was interesting - to say the least.

[@nurscathwill]

Not Bloomberg or Biden!

[@pixandmore437]

Bloomberg do that? Heck the calf is as big as he is... So, I say he wouldn't have any chance. Plus he'd have to redo his manicure and I'm sure he wouldn't do that.

[@kathyk479]

That's how we learn and things are committed to memories is by repetativeness. It tacks doing something 3 x during a week to have it go into the long term memory. But to retain it you have to learn it over and over again! That's why our education takes so long!

[@garyt.6186]

Your dad is great!!

[@v8maid]

Nicely done, gentle and controlled , well done

[@valleyviewacres9120]

I remember one year when I had my hiefer bull who was really good for hiefers(nothing ever more than 75-80 pounds) on charolais not bad at all. Anyways that hiefer bull separates his shoulder and was done. So we had a mature bull who was maybe throwing a 85 pound average calf so dad put that bull on the hiefers. 30 hiefers 70% c-section rate. Had 4 go one night to the vets. That was the last year we bought charolais bulls

But our cow bull his calf weights are all over the place. We had him on some heifers that calved easy and on cows had a hard time. Had some older cows have calves around 115-120 pounds

[@n2slugs]

A couple of years ago not a single one of my heifers accepted their calves. I spent my spring standing at the chute with heifers who had their back legs tied and little babies waiting to suck. ALL of those orange tag heifers went to the sale as pairs. The next year I had dozens of eager heifer mamas and not a single problem. Cows can make you crazy.
