Green Grass and Black Cattle

[@BasilFawlty677]

My Father and his family were immigrants from Eastern Europe and were given free land, 4 wooden acres in Manitoba, Canada . It took my Grandfather 2 years of blood and sweat to clear those acres, basically on his own. I see the dedication and love between you and your Dad and it makes my heart smile. Farmers are the real heroes of the World. God bless you and your family, Cole.

Clearing a heavily wooded area back in the day was a huge job. Your power was one, maybe two horses or mules and some picks and shovels. These days, Cole and Brian could do it before breakfast and make a good video of it. Times have changed. I wonder how many workers it would take then to work Sonne Farms without modern machinery. I always get a little depressed when Cole does 4 or 5 big jobs that would take me a month and then says "well it's lunch time now". What a man. Brian brought him up well.

[@wild_insomnia]

does your family have Ukrainian origin,buddy ?

[@ProudPapaw88]

Cole and Brian, I love how you two work together with your cows. You are like a well oiled machine. It seems you know what the other is thinking. It does this old man good to watch you on your journey. Great video. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed week.

[@BasilFawlty677]

Your relationship with your Dad is a blessing. The love is obvious and real.

[@davidraaf3865]

Another Sonne Day. That would make a great t shirt!

[@mnbednar8071]

That lush green grass. Those 4wheelers are essential tools.

[@zak2u2]

The thing that impresses me the most about these guys is that when the necessary work it done, instead of popping a beer and sitting in front of the TV, they work on a project that will improve the farm for the future. Replace or build a fence. Put in better gates to make things easier. Cole is amazing with keeping the maintenance of the machinery up. It amazes me that he greases the machines each time he takes one out to work. They are building a farm for the new generations of Sonnes. You don't see that much anymore.

[@cajunnathan4586]

That's a nice corral! It pays to be safe when working cattle

[@markab5019]

I’ve noticed that when it comes to any physical labor, Cole moves in on Brian and takes over. Good job Cole. Ahhhh youth!

Never has to be told and never shirks a hard, dirty job. Does it usually with a good humor.

The life of a farmer. What the rain didn't drown will start growing like crazy.

That calf in the chute reminded me of a Boarder Collie climbing over sheep. He had some moves.

[@gonefishin5851]

Hi Brian and Cole, Never a dull moment for you guys. I've been concerned about Brian. It's obvious that he has a lot on his mind. Hope all is well and we can get back to having a song of the day, 😊. I have the greatest respect for the work you do each day. I remember baling hay when I was 13 years old in Pennsylvania. Our model H Farmall, pulling the international baler ( maybe a model 46 - don't remember), slowly pushing the bale up the chute, onto the wagon where we stacked it, one bale at a time Later we were in the barn loft, restacking those same bales. I love the way you do it these days! Please take care of yourselves! Love you guys, Tom and Jane

[@Nancy_S68]

The south Dakota sky is so beautiful!

[@jeb3415]

I love the way in the opening shot how Ellie apears to do her inspection as you are pulling out of the yard with the trailer attached- load approved! Lol

[@computernerdtechman]

I like that Cole and Brian go the extra mile and squirt on that beef flavor seasoning liquid on their cattle to make the steaks taste more delicious. Great job guys! 🤣

OH, it's minus 10 out with blowing snow. Gotta go do chores as soon as the sun's up.

[@JimSteinbrueck-it6kf]

Fields look so lush and green, I’m sure you will get a second cut this year. I know it’s muddy and a bit of a burden but remember same time last year all farmers were praying for rain. Like you said, all the dugouts are full of water for the cattle, yes you lost some crop to flooding but blessed with plentiful alfalfa and grass this year. Just remember…Good Problems . God Bless and stay safe. Give Ellie a good ear scratching for us, she’ is still “the boss” in our book!😇

[@rodpasichnyk9140]

That portable corral system absolutely rocks, nice set-up!😉👍

[@chadmccollum6292]

As I've probably said 100x beautiful Angus. You all should be proud

[@dalegereaux1863]

That was a good idea to let the four-wheeler push the fences back together instead of having to do it by hand. 👍

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Cole and Brian. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. Nice job 👍 working your herd. They all look great on that green grass. That portable corral system you have is awesome to have. Makes working your herd a lots easier. You had a warm day and probably some humidity too work in. Nice to finish the herd later in the day when a bit cooler. You both are very fine herdsmen!!!!!!!! Sonny is really growing up fast. Such a nice little dog. Cute. You ground is really saturated. The portable corral leg sank right into the ground. Wow. Nice you had the tractor hooked to it. Got your cows and calf’s all treated. Can’t beat that. You both take care and be safe. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Them little calfs sure throw a ruckus in those chutes, it looked like on the 1st bunch that one of them jumped high enough to boink their head. Crazy little calfs.😂

[@tinygaragepowersports0122]

That portable corral is slicker than deer gut on a doorknob, I'll tell you whut. Shout out to the Honda Rancher 4 wheelers too. Good sturdy machines. Love watching you guys work.....takes my stress away.

[@gregeconomeier1476]

A bit surprised the Arrowquip mobile unit didn't get bogged down in the mud. That's the first time I've seen it used out in the field. Seems to be effective.

[@jackie9645]

Cole if this farming thing doesn’t work out for you then you can enter the Olympic Sonne Farms slappy javelin throwing contest. The cows were extra boisterous and the calves were doing a little parkour in the corral today. That’s what I call fresh beef. I think I’m just gonna start praying for safe, productive and profitable farming seasons for y’all.

[@SbrGrendel65]

It sure is looking like you’ll get a 2nd cutting or Hay n Alfalfa. Those fields look to have enough moisture to hold you over for a couple weeks to a month. Not counting the rain you’ll continue to get too

Why is it that every time I see the both of you rounding up your cattle out in your pastures, the film, "City Slickers" pops into my mind? :-)

Awesome video Cole. I at one time had a Black Pug. Had her trained to bark at cows and horses. Or if I mentioned cows or horses she'd go crazy looking for them to bark at them... had her up close to some cows, she just stood there in awww and didn't make a sound. 🚜🚜🚜

[@ibkhansen8036]

Cole with me it's evening¨there's only three hours left before it's the 4th of July (US) so when you have a channel, you have the whole world with you so it can both be tomorrow afternoon and evening and then night (because I sometimes go between and see it at night too)

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

I really like the portable. It works great & safely for people and cattle. Good job all around.

I’ll tell you what apples I enjoy during nearly every episode…when Cole hooks up, be it truck and trailer, tractor and trailer, tractor and assorted implements-he hits that sweet spot every time the first time. I know he (Cole) might edit to make it look smoother, but I don’t think he does-every time right on the ball/hitch the first time he backs up-that is an underrated skill!
