Raise the Roof!

[@joef56]

Please tell Uncle Jeff, we are always happy to see him

[@ar-taqarmando226]

Especially sharing all the good stuff with us!

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Uncle Jeff got some piggy tattoos. That happens when you have livestock. When I dismantle old buildings I think about their history. I think about the special or maybe not so special things that could have happened in them. Thanks for sharing Cole, hope Mom and Dad had a great vacation.

[@jeanhorne5893]

Thank you for sharing Cole And it’s good to see Uncle Jeff .God bless you all .

[@robertbellow2625]

Good to see Uncle Jeff!

[@marktaylor8263]

Cole, I found your channel about 7 weeks ago. I have watched every video you had made from the start. Glad I found you, Brian, Uncle Jeff, Uour mom, and Tiffany. Really enjoy the cattle and farming that support the cattle business. Glad you have so many followers that are interested in cattle ranching and farming. Great job you and Brian do.

[@tamisonne2519]

Welcome…..we’re glad you’re here!

[@SonneFarms]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@paulfrank5613]

Thanks, again appreciate the many camera angles of Sonne Farms.

[@MarkBrezarich]

I would’ve used that 10 to build wind brakes that looks like good tin

[@scottkutil3685]

Nice to meet Jeff at my BIL's funeral in Menno last weekend. Watch you guys all the time here in Colorado. Keeps me grounded to So Dak.

[@fredcota2202]

Keeping air in small tires is a royal pain. I didn’t invent the idea, but have used the following on my slow moving small tires such as tillers, mowers, generators etc. Make sure the tire is on the bead, remove the valve stem, squirt in liquid foam insulation. Allow for air to escape or you’ll wear some of the stuff. Fill it up. Let it dry. Some will ooze out the valve stem, but the flat tire days are over. Didn’t try with heavy loads.

[@darrylolson6292]

More great footage from the box scrapper! Thanks for the many camera placements.

[@sallydyck3104]

Wow!.. from Demolition, moving pigs to having all the equipment all greased and ready..., and you got a hair cut.. Pretty darn good.. the man of the hour 🥇 well done... Your hired...👍

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Cole. It was really interesting and enjoyable to watch. You are really keeping busy with lots of farmstead projects while Dad is gone on vacation. Sonny and Allie are keeping busy playing around. Sonny is busy supervising you Cole-ha!!!!! Nice haircut Cole. Haircut from town or a wife haircut?????! Looks good on you. Those hogs you helped Uncle Jeff with are really nice looking hogs. Will make excellent meat packages. Thanks to uncle Jeff. Good to see him. Taking down old buildings is always hard work especially with all the nails sticking out to catch hands and deflate tires. Oh my. Looks better with the old buildings gone. Assume you will burn them sometime. Getting ready for harvest by greasing the grain augers and such. Always lots to get ready to go. See you were changing the PTO shaft speeds also. Good catch Cole Wow, you have been busy with Dad being gone. Trust you and your wife are getting ready for that new baby. Will be great for both of you. About it I guess. Nice job getting ready for harvest. You got a lot of jobs done while dad was gone. Welcome back to your mom and dad. You take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊😊👍👋✅🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Deborah-z3k]

Nice haircut Cole!!!! Those Duroc gilts were really nice…..Sonne pork!!!! Interesting!!!! Cole you got a lot of work done today!!

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video Cole. 🚜🚜🚜 When the boss is away the kid will play. Wondering what else you'll knock down when Brian leaves again. Take care.

[@jerrycallison6125]

I know you are young and strong. You probably don't even take notice of it, but if you were to take a bit of steel rod and heat one end to bend into a hook, then weld a short piece on the other end as a handle, you would certainly spare your back dragging that hopper around. (When you get my age and condition, you think about things like that.) Thanks for another enjoyable half-hour on the farm.

[@DaveBrokaw-pi9hz]

My farming partners have a 4th generation farrow to feeder swine herd. Never fails no matter how hard you try, there's always a pig-poo spray incident. I have no experience with cow manure management, but it's probably the same. Bean harvest starting in central Indiana. It's been dry for the past 3 weeks, and now it rains! Go figure! I gotta get one of those front end loaders. Probably don't really need one, but it's an adult TONKA toy. You never know when you gotta lift a farrowing shed off its foundation. Great episode again

[@gregcatlett1458]

Be careful Cole what you do while your dad‘s gone, he’ll be taking a lot more vacations in the slow time. Thanks

[@BASRANCH]

That roof is what you need over the working chute. 😂

[@Middleman570]

Cole you’re one heck of a hand you got a lot done y’all are setup and ready to go.

[@M.BFarms]

Great looking dirt raised pigs, Jeff!

[@JohnJ-q5j]

I went to Williston once and I passed acers and acers of Sun Flowers in South Dakota , In the morning they were all facing east and in the afternoon they were all facing west, That is was I remember passing through your state

[@SonneFarms]

Very cool!

[@stevenkegerreis166]

Another cool video. I am sure that your dad is proud of you setting all that mail in a neat stack

[@larrycaughron1321]

Those were fine looking Durocks. Brings back memories from the '60s. Good video. 🇺🇲🚜🇺🇸

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi to all three of you guys from Indiana , I see that doing little bit of distruction which is definitely alot of fun to do I would say

[@stevebiddle8912]

Hope you had a great weekend. Good to see Uncle Jeff in the video. Looking forward to see you cutting silage.

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Ready for silage and wet corn. Good job and great video. I hope Brian and Tami got themselves some rest. Thanks!

[@Nancy_S68]

You did a lot of work! I thought one of the bldgs you tore down was the one you were thinking about making into a calf shelter. You need a video game where we can level up to another pasture or field to plant!

[@bobblossom2713]

Tiny dawg Sonny is an attentive active pup.

[@kenc1800]

Hey Cole….you rock the home alone scene! Jobs Well done, good logistics and nice footage of your livestock.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great job holding down the farm while your parents take some well.deserved.time off. God Bless.

[@steveneal2706]

Great video Cole. Thank you very much

[@ryanwaege7251]

Always nice to see Uncle Jeff bringing the Good Stuff to your channel. 😂

[@jimpolk]

Carrying the whole roof was a cool trick 😊

[@Dan-qy1rg]

The new floor in the silo will be great, coming right along and looking good. Yeah, that pneumonia is a real issue in the summer, good luck with the calf. A lot of nice comments about your uncle Jeff, I will join in their salutations for seeing him on here. Thanks!

[@Husker3435]

G’job Cole and Uncle Jeffro 👍🏻

[@firecaptaintom]

"Jeffro" 😂

[@patriot8087]

Glad you got a haircut Cole, you finally look respectable again, I thought you were going to get one this year.

[@bettiewatson2949]

Good to see Uncle Jeff. 😀

[@TinMan0555]

I know y’all are diligent about keeping everything greased. And even though I don’t see you having too many issues with clogged grease fittings, I just sent y’all a device to help unclog any wonky zerk fitting that ya might encounter. I’ve had one of these for years and it works great. It’s called a Grease Buster, hope y’all find it useful. I sent it your POB in Mt. Vernon. 🫡

[@SteveGibbons-td9tk]

While the boss is away the son slaves away but planning ahead is what makes you a great farming partner to your dad

[@darksarcasm4835]

& Poor Uncle Jeff got pig Pooh on his hand yeeeck!

[@byamrcn]

Piggies! Gotta show us a little more of that someday.

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

I used to raise and show registered Duroc's a long time ago. They were my FFA project all thru high school, and I had them some years after that.... Isn't it nice that Deere got smart and made that a dry cavity for switching the PTO? We always drove the front end down in a ditch so we wouldn't make a mess on back of the tractor when we switched the pto shafts on the 30, 40, and 50 series.

[@MoMonde]

I think that sly smile with the bills is because they are addressed to Dad. Just remember some of that eventually cost you and you might be working for free! 😂

[@donniehoneycutt8329]

U probably wouldn't work like he does for his yearly income get over your jealousy

[@dannaumann9758]

I love this video! Nothing like following Cole around all day! Besides we give him someone to talk to when he’s working “solo”! Hahaha

[@larrydavidson3402]

Nice to get rid of the old buildings. You always keep yourself Cole.

[@dennishill3463]

Thanks and GOD BLESS

[@davidkimmel5153]

Thanks for sharing with us. Great video. Did I see Pork Chops in the future 😂

[@brucelowe5116]

Bacon on the hoof !!!!Good looking hogs!

[@Blacktopcharities]

“Cole Sonne stop chasing the calves with tractor!! “ how many times you heard that!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dalegereaux1863]

As Cole runs the box scraper across the cattleZ dung, I am reminded of the Zamboni machine as it glides effortlessly in its pattern over the ice rink.

[@joyceadams7426]

Gotta love these closed captions. As you attached the cone extension it typed *applause ! Lol. Keep up the good work !

[@paullohrentz1170]

Speaking of bills, I never lost even 1 bill in my 35+ year career as a mailman. I would wager a guess it was 3/4 bulk business mail (junk).

[@dannaumann9758]

Hahaha! I always call those bills “Hate Mail! I sure hate getting them!

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!!

[@davidgonzales7255]

You the man!!! Cole

[@wayner806]

Thanks for the video!

[@SonneFarms]

You bet!

[@josephrodgers3119]

Thanks again fella's for the video...

[@willardway3037]

You need to get some "needle tips" for your grease guns. they work very well on greasing broken zirks save a lot of time when you don't have it to spare.

[@raymondhorvatin1050]

Thanks for sharing

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks for watching!

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Sonne pork!! Heyell yeah!! Another awesome video!

[@billl9726]

Before you even joked about using the roof for shade---I thought you might repurpose it for shade &/or a wind break for the cattle...?

[@njb7209]

Hey Cole, you might try a grease needle on that broken fitting. ❤

[@tubeDude48]

Love the dog and all the work you do!

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you very much!

[@keithfrazier2558]

You need some more of that Fly spray that you connected to the SXS or something. Those Flys were horrible when they came over by the camera.

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Good job Cole

[@brodyfrieling7168]

Take an old combine belt and tie it on one of those outside handles on your swing aways to drag them around. Simple and does wonders

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video cole thumbs up and shared got lots done brian will be proad

[@jpaulmertz4137]

Nice haircut Cole. You were getting to look a little shaggy!

[@phyllishalley8972]

Kinda good dad leaves for a bit .....get some idd jobs done ! As far as your new " shade" project......I want to see who's going to be the first to try it !!!🤔 😊 Seeing those sunflowers reminded me of the acres and acres of them we would see when we went there ..good times....

[@ScotWalt858]

All good!

[@stumper1300]

Dang, I would have loved to have the tin off that roof. Lol

[@jrstrande4890]

Uncle Jeff taking one for the team!

[@MrKovie1]

Love seeing more of uncle Jeff, but do miss Brian. The comedy, perspectives and knowledge is great.

[@markyoull6744]

great stuff

[@davidperry6716]

A wise old uncle of mine used to say “I don’t have bills. I got Williams!” Good luck with those 👊🏻

[@richparks1966]

You guys are pretty good at dismantling your Shakey Cow Shantytowns. What are you putting in next, a 'Bovine Bed & Beef Breakfast'?

[@robertearp8542]

Bless your heart

[@jporter504]

Enjoyed.

[@charlesbreitenbach508]

I bet your dads happy to get away knowing you’re holding the fort down.

[@ericsebina256]

Well done. Nice shades looking 💪🏾.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Yall should have uncle Jeff sell pork on your website.

[@theirishman8356]

Uncle Jeff cameo.. 🐂🐂🐂

[@alanatolstad4824]

He should be wired more often, he's got a great voice!

[@Wiscokid10]

Cole be like at the start of the video, well why don't we stand under the unstable and hope our loader keeps it up while we're working on equipment but atleast we got rid of that sun.

[@edhager]

If you have a Rural King close by, they have a good selection of utility tires.

[@GlenironPa]

Oh my.....be careful how you use the loader.....lol just as I am typing you mentioned possible flat tires from nails. Story time, while in the military there were a couple of large single story ooold buildings on the golf course and they decided to use a couple of large wheeled end loaders to take them down. Like twice the size of yours. The next day those two loaders had eight flat tires. Someone was in biggggg trouble on that one.

[@pwaldrop5181]

Something l have wondered for a long time, do you wash farming clothes with the family laundry or do you have a separate washing machine? Thanks

[@Cybergasm01]

Darn was hoping for another Racoon to come flying out of the Auger lol

[@alanatolstad4824]

Imagine you remembering that!!!

[@coyroberts8356]

Cool thanks 😊

[@MichaelHolloway]

that's a nice long beam over the garage door (what's that 12", 14" wide?) - worth saving i think :)

[@PeterWenzel-yn7fn]

Waving a hand from texas

[@francislahey7981]

You got your haircut. Sharp.

[@danishpuma]

Oh! Piggies! Super fun animals. And tasty.

[@Dennismelnychuk]

Ill remind you of this day when you have that auger jammed full of wet corn and that U joint will be squeeling away until you have about 100 bushels left and you will have t9 change it lol

[@phillipmetcalf9404]

Quite grinning. We all know you were grinning like crazy as you raised the roof.

[@shealy265]

Looks like your job interview to let your dad semi retire is going well.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@SonneFarms]

Any time

[@johnkemp4370]

A root rake with a grapple on that case would be handy you can unwrap a round bale and then put it in a ring

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job

[@alineroberts]

My gosh...so much done in the day. What time do you start and end. 😀

[@garylollman5339]

Great to Uncle Jeff in a video. Couldn’t you have use the roof as protection for your calf’s come calving season durning the winter season.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Great video.
