New Calves / Snowblowing / Barn Tour

Calving season is is underway and the weather is still cold and snowy. Today, I was snow blowing to get rid of some snow that will make the field we calve in sloppy when it starts to get warmer out. I also give a tour of our calving barn which we build a few years ago. I also show some video of a couple of the new calves that were born a few days ago.
Barn Tour starts at minute 2:34.

Now thats a nice facility, I like the in floor heat idea, no frozen manure so should be easier to clean between groups if needed!

I love to see how you care for your stock. I farmed south of minneapolis minnesota in the 70's. i loved to feed those angus calves and the black baldys as well. a very wise woman wrote, "animals make us human"how we care for the stock we raise says so much about us as human beings.

OH!!! It looks so cold!!! We do not get that measure of snow in Virginia, which is fine with me! You seem like such a NICE man!!!

[@btowannab9232]

Very impressive barn !! Could ya do a another video sometime on the calving barn a little slower trying to catch all the details !! Thanks 😉👍

[@ardurbin2]

Good video. That snow is a giant pain with freezing rain/ice on top! Glad you have shelter for the momma's to calve in. No fun pulling calves in the cold.

I love calving barn videos! And it's cool how you can take pieces from videos and make new ones. I think I've watched every video since I first came across you Cole.

[@dancuddy3013]

Interesting to watch these older videos and see just how much your videoing/editing and final production has changed, eh?

[@D3monicbanana]

Very impressive, just subscribed!

[@chonkofarms3801]

You should do a equipment tour

[@Modulus0]

Just be careful going alongside the fence like that. I can't imagine how much barbed wire could be sucked in by that snow blower!

[@SonneFarms]

I was worried about that too!

[@richardh8355]

[@saracampbell114]

[@tracydouglas732]

Them heifers you put in the barn springing right up love how they just walk right in the barn

[@caseyhageman453]

We had a 5 ft drift n yard and at the farm we had to get out the case triples and front wheel assist to get someone’s tractor out and that couldn’t even do it by the way CASE is better than John Deere

[@barbcoleus]

Wow that’s some snowblower!!! I’m a Florida girl so ..

[@Pickhinke]

This weather is t to far away. I like the snowblower. Sure that is handy!

[@kennethebbens6203]

Do you have a lot of milk fever as dairy farmers have

[@SonneFarms]

Never!

[@michaelg.5862]

After the tornado? OMG! There must be a story about all that.

[@stevethomas7463]

An attachment or gadget for any task. 👍🏻

[@olnamgrunt9857]

Luv the vids but tired of seeing snow good luck

[@mikebonge7206]

hate snow blower,,, real nice calves barn

[@steamboat1341]

Pardon the stupid question would it be easier and economical to calve in May or June?

[@SonneFarms]

We have a lot going on starting April with fertilizing, tillage, planting, and then later on we have to start cutting, raking, and baling. So yes, it would be warmer, but we don't have time to be with the cattle these months since we have other major obligations to take care of.

[@BrotherJohn-mz4qe]

Will the crazy things not to into the warm bath on their own? Lucky here we don't have winters here like you all do.

[@SonneFarms]

If we kept the door open to allow them to go in and out they probably would go in, but when a cow starts calving they may walk outside because they like seclusion when in labor. Also it is possible that the calf, once it can walk, walks outside and gets chilled. So we make sure that they don't have the choice to go outside at night.

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

How do you get your heifers to go into the barn so well?

[@SonneFarms]

Good question, I think a few factors play in with that. Firstly, they have been put in there for a few days in a row and were getting used to the schedule. Also the water is in the building and it was about the time that they would want a drink. Also they know there is nice bedding and it was cold outside so they wanted to be in there.

Got a tornado in Dakota 😮
