One Calf after Another!

[@chucksurface4682]

Something I don’t understand. You work when it is -20 below to make sure the babies can stay warm, bust your knuckles on machines, slip and slide in a cow decorated slime trailer, every day so that I can sit down and enjoy a prime angus steak. Thank God you have 231 thousand followers. Proud to be one! And then there is the podiatrist who sits in a warm chair with a set of dags trimming toe nails with 1.7 million followers. What is wrong with this nation. We need to appreciate Brian and Cole for what they-do for this country, and then share via video the long days and the hard work they do. Just want you to know I appreciate you guys. Thank God for the farmers and ranchers in our country. God bless you!

[@larrydavidson3402]

I have to hand it to Brian and Cole, you two run a pretty darn efficient operation and take very good care of your cattle.

[@peteparker7396]

I got a calf named for me!!!! Woooo hoooo! I am honored. Thank you! Clave-a-polloza 23 continues!

[@briansonne814]

your welcome!

[@darrenpautzke1298]

Hello gentlemen, I’m so happy when I can see you two out and about. God has you doing a great job of taking care of his creatures. I’m blessed to be able to watch you.

[@schrankm]

I see Cole and his wife at Walmart every now and again. It's odd to see Cole in person lol

[@erniebuckman9947]

Been watching for five or six years. I am 76 and Brian you have the best caving operation out their. Haven't seen anyone do it better. You and Cole should be proud of the job you do. It's not easy to do it right.. It's a lot of work

[@briansonne814]

Im blown away Ernie thankyou!

[@davidd2613]

Ellie following the gator through the gate with the same reaction. A quick left and a little sliding, that’s some good stuff!! 🤣🤣🍺🥃

[@rickthompson4315]

Ellie earns her keep. From one Dog Lover to ... Another. My service Dog is named Chief

[@kelviethrasher9436]

I didn't realize how much work goes into raising cattle. Thank yall for including us. Love the channel. Ellie is so cute. Stay safe

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks for watching!

[@katiemusselmanvadez3fortni890]

Good Morning Sonne farms!

[@rdyardie]

You named the "boy" calf "Pete". . . . a few years ago, friends of ours had twins. One was named "Pete" and the other one was named, "Re-pete". Dick and Marge were so happy. 😊

[@candyparent2483]

So nice to see so many healthy calves! Love your channel,Brian and Cole!

[@ebhamps]

Our 7 year old son, Bryce, loves your channel! We are hog farmers and he is starting his beef cow herd. He has five heifers. Good luck with the storm. Its nothing but mud here in Indiana.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!!

[@lindachristison6883]

Wow! A calf named after me! Cool. I’m amazed at all the work that you do everyday. I had no idea. All I can say is Thank you for your hard work.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks again!

[@Buehr99]

I love watching these calves being born. You guys do such a great job caring for your herd. Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

[@michaelgorrell4370]

I Dairy farmed my whole life you guys do a great job plus your relationship is awesome!

[@briansonne814]

i appreciate that!

[@davidkimmel4216]

Good luck with calving during the storm. I do feel for you guys. I do miss calving and all its “fun” it is more stress than you can believe. I think I will have a couple of drinks to salute both of you. “Salute” 😅

[@andreaducharme6187]

You are going to be a great daddy someday Cole the way you take care of them littles ones just like your dad !!!!

[@nitavaldez6276]

I love watching babies being born.🥰

[@jackie9645]

Y’all do an amazing job! My favorite part was the cow that came up to the camera and you could hear it’s breathing! Stay warm and safe please🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Super jobs with all the new calves. Your cows and calves look good and healthy. My compliments to you both on the wonderful care you give your herd. I am really proud of both of you. You both are great with them and caring about the shelter they have and everything that goes with that. I understand why people want one of your bulls or cows because they know the care you give them. Cole you are really good with the calves with dad helping keep mom away from you so everyone is safe. Outstanding teamwork!!!!!!!! Take care in the snowstorm. Thanks for everything Sonne’s. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@AcesDman7]

Thanks for Feeding America. God Bless you guys. Thank You LORD 👍🙏

[@dawnchildress7201]

We absolutely love watching your videos. We used to raise black angus cattle and we love to watch this time of year with the calves being born. We really miss it but you bring us a lot of enjoyment through your videos. God bless y’all and keep those great videos coming!!!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Good to see so many successful births, with that snow coming your making the right move getting the new ones up in the barn. Good one Cole, thanks for sharing, have a wonderful remainder of the weekend.

[@joycebrewer4150]

My father had a small dairy herd. He let the cows keep their calves until age 3 months. He would also be milking the cows after the first two days colostrum. The cows and calves were NOT ready to be apart at 3 months! They would be put in separate yards, but could still hear each other. They would be mooing as loudly as possible. EVERYBODY in the area could hear them!! A mile and a half away, they could still be heard! And they kept it up all day, all night, for 3 days and nights! By then they would have laryngitis. After their throats healed, they were generally resigned, but not always. One cow in Particular, called her calf to her, and resumed nursing on the sly. Dad didn't catch her at it until the following year's calf failed to thrive. The cow had this year's calf on one side, and her full grown last year's steer kneeling on her other side, sucking away vigorously!! Dad sold that big veal asap!! After which the current calf throve, and dad was getting double the milk from the cow. She went from being only a fair milk cow to champion producer, and that made the difference for dad to break even that year.

[@candacegraff4883]

Hi! If I was your neighbor I'd be right in the thick of calving, branding, harvesting, feeding, you name it. I'm too old to start a new career now but if I could it would be in ranching. We love you guys and all that you do. Here's hoping you'll name a heifer after me. Thanks for the great videos. Maybe we could meet the Mrs. Sonne's one of these days. Candy

[@sashcraft51]

So cold. Glad y’all go the extra mile to tend to the cows. Great vlog.

[@danawalker55]

Thanks for all you guys do. I appreciate the cold, hard work so much.....I believe I'll have steak and eggs for breakfast.

[@jasonwineland7016]

Watching you bang the buckets together reminded of childhood, my aunt called their milk cows for feeding from back pastures with a hand held cow bell. Couple rings and a whistle and the whole herd would come trotting

[@kdenney66]

Brian, Here's my suggestion for a bull calf "Denney." Here's why...Our last name is Denney, I have one son who has had a precious daughter and it's unsure if they will have a second little one. If he doesn't have a boy, our last name ends with him. Also, my uncle's sons had all daughters and they're not having any more children. It would be nice to see the Denney name continue for at least one more generation. Thanks. - Kent

[@mariebreitkreutz7471]

Mother Nature is a b- word … you guys are doing a fantastic job of keeping your cattle as comfortable as humanly possible, god bless you and your families for the dedication to feeding world!

[@barbiebush]

You guys are hard-working men, father, and son team how blessed are you calving season is lots of fun, hard work, but see all the beautiful babies

[@richardlaurent7229]

Cole your quite a man, thanks Brian and your wife for giving us a good man in Cole.

[@briansonne814]

Amen

[@michelletauson2867]

Love claving time - prayers for healthy babies

[@anneoreilly4900]

Thanks for showing more calf deliveries - just good timing I guess that they calve when Coles got the camera.

[@lauradittman8471]

You guys do absolutely a wonderful job handling "mama bears" during lactation. You don't threaten them, just get in there and take good care of their calves-Thank you for sharing and have a great day!!!!

[@mollytheda9273]

Love the calf dragging vessel and the drive down gates! Learn something new every day.

[@brsharp99]

You guys are a force to be reckoned with. I love that yall show true aspects of farming and ranching together. Like me being a retired combat soldier not everybody can do it and not everybody can do what you guys do. I will leave it to the professionals to feed the world. I tip my hat and salute you guys.

[@briansonne814]

Thank you for your comment and you service!

[@rodneyfavaretto9042]

You guys are amazing, to support all that cattle before the storm. In Ontario Canada we got 20" of snow this weekend.

[@leekillman802]

Every calving season amazes me. All the uncertainity, the conditions you're subjected to, and time taken to ensure your herd, both current and future. Sonne, definition of high level stewardship.

[@miriambertram2448]

Umm it's claving season...😆

[@anthonyVR1BOOST]

Wow that was a big cave @11:40 awesome I watch your videos everyday.

[@SbrGrendel65]

The ladies where keeping the Maternity Ward busy! Great to see all the healthy calves and mommas doing there jobs.

[@maryannardan4159]

love that you pulled the calf, as always keeping mom and baby safe. grateful that you are trying to keep all the cows safe in this terrible weather. Stay warm and spring is almost here.

[@kellegaus6457]

[@rosaolbera8768]

Way to go Cole and Brian awesome video Rosa

[@dan-bp5tz]

Really like your channel, Cole you are very fortunate to have the father you have and him as well. I grew up in Alberta Canada with what I feel was one of the best Angus breeders ever Cecil Armitstead, if you google him you will see that you probably have some of his offspring. When I was a kid ( I’m now 58 ) we had a map of the world on the wall and my grandma had pins wherever his cows had gone. When he retired he sold his herd to a man down south can’t remember but apparently it was really hot and those poor cows suffered until the got acclimatize. Anyway when I watch I think of him and working cattle with him, the best years of my life he was an incredible man and Brian you and him would have gotten along great !

[@edwardrufledt6471]

Received my Optimizer scour gel yesterday. 2nd year using it now. Thanks. Stay warm. Stay safe.

[@SonneFarms]

Happy Calving!

[@karolschulz48]

Barometric pressure changed that's why so many calvings. Nice watching the 1st calf heifers do what nature has programed them to do.

[@jeanhorne5893]

Hi Cole and Dad Brian thank you for sharing everything. I enjoy watching you both and all you share.Your videos bring joy to my heart and life .God bless you and your family’s each and every day.Keep warm.

[@ericklingele661]

Great work guys! My dad has been bit with the cattle bug. We were hog farmers growing up. Dad recently got 5 pregnant cows and is starting a small herd. He is 82. Two calves so far. Keeps him young.

[@SonneFarms]

[@kellycorf9011]

We started farming small when I was young,all our moms and heifers caves had names , quite often after friends and family or the farmers wives who we bought from. I love that you are naming yours this year.

[@williammerry4746]

Beautiful animals with some snow on their backs, beautiful year round and those fine calves. Busy rewarding day. Outstanding video work. All adds up to another first class video.

[@michaelmcconnell7958]

What’s the story on the lonely Farmall? Sometime it’d be cool if you did a building tour, esp of the old barn on the south farm.

[@YOLOJase]

Y'all make that look way easier then it really is. Awesome facility.

[@sherylhutton138]

Just what I was waiting for. Thanks. That was a double feature. One natural and one by forcing it out. This is how farming cows really works.

[@gabestrobehn4698]

Look at those cute little baby cheeseburgers!!!! Happy calving stay safe in the storm

[@dcricket1]

The calves are so beautiful! Looks like you guys are going to be running for awhile! Praying for all healthy calves! Don’t know how far your videos are backdated but I hope this storm has passed by now. Stay warm!❤

[@daisy6191]

Love watching your videos. Not calving yet in Manitoba. Still to cold. Keep the snow down there please. Had enough last year. Enjoying a relaxing winter this year. If you have a bull calf that always faces North you can call him “ Manitoba “ 😊
