[@MWL4466]

I've got a 3-ish year old neighbor that watches you regularly. He calls it the "Bwian and Coe Moo-Moo Show". 😅 And he's adamant about getting a big green tractor and an Ellie dog. Stay warm guys. Cheers from Canada.

[@1striperon]

Sonne Farms has a wintry forecast, Brian and Cole aren’t sitting at home in front of the fireplace, they are outside taking care of their cows. Gotta admire their hard work and their hardy cattle.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

The cows know they are in great care. Your care for your animals is top notch. God Bless.

My sister-in-law Marlene Robinson is recovering from surgery of an aneurysm (sp) of her aorta which almost took her life, will be glad for the song of the day!! Thanks for such great timing!!

[@centexan]

Tough days for cattlemen. Work has to be done. Our thanks to you for doing it and sharing with us. And we now see clearly why those newer gates that Cole built are a foot off the ground!

[@jackie9645]

Prayers to all farmers this winter not only for safety but for enough feed for the animals they are raising to feed us🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m not a farmer but by watching your channel I have gained a much bigger appreciation for not only all you do but for all your sacrifices! Thank you!

[@gregwindschitl1896]

I’m 75, but remember back in the farm days and how miserable the winter weather could be. I enjoy your posts.

[@larryterrell8458]

One of my favorite channels…. I appreciate the dedication of farmers!👏🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

[@LauraDittman]

Truly see the hard work Sonne Farms does taking care of these beautiful cows..Looking at the long thick coats that will help them insulate during this Artic Blast. Stay warm and safe!!!

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting for sure. Winter weather makes taking care of cattle even harder and more hours pushing snow. Appreciate the kind care you give your herd. Putting up the wind breaks and putting out extra hay shows you are good herdsmen. Keeping the snow pushed back in you our cattle is important in the winter time and you do a good of it. Yeah!!!!!! Good job moving the cattle. Thanks for everything Cole and Brian. Take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@jerryrosman5122]

Snow is just always a huge waste of time and energy, but at least it's moisture!!!

[@tiptonridgepappy5941]

My hats off to you guys. Y’all have to spend so much time doing work on snow and ice removal just to do your normal work. Also having to purchase and maintain all that equipment just for the bad weather and muddy conditions. Great job guys. Enjoy your videos the most of anybody else’s that I watch regularly.

[@briansonne814]

thankyou!

[@johnwesner3935]

It's great to see that loader working pretty much every day. Takes a lot of the wear and tear off the tractor loader! Looking forward to calving!😊

[@dpw9768]

Truck driver David here. It was good visiting with ya at the farm show yesterday Cole. You take care, sirs.

[@gregpavone8485]

Front end loader, excellent purchase

[@budtolliver]

I remember working in the cold weather and snow doing what it takes to get the chores done

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

feel bad for you in the winter months. taking good care of your cattles..

[@oldad6207]

From my farming experiences 45 to 60 years ago, I can tell ya the wheel loader sure beats the heck out of a scoop shovel.

[@lindagentile2380]

Sending Hugs & Prayers of SAFETY during this Cold snap... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💙🐕...💙🤗✝️

[@southpawred7172]

I had Simon & Garfunkel on 8-track back in the 70’s- 74 Chevy nova, good times. Great choice Brian.👍

[@jeanhorne5893]

Cole and Dad Brian thank you for sharing everything.Keep warm and safe out there. I enjoy watching everything that you do.God bless you all.

[@briansonne814]

Thanks Jean

[@jimlong527]

I feel guilty My wife and I are sitting by the 88 degrees pool water temperature and 80 degree weather with an adult beverage in hand. It amazes me how you two can handle and care for so many cattle soon to feed America.

[@maryannardan4159]

So glad you again are taking such good care of your cattle. Try and stay warm, remember to cover your ears, I've seen plenty of frostbite to the ears, fingers etc.. God bless you both for what you do

[@canvids1]

Just imagine trying to feed all those cattle with small bales now that would be a real chore. great video thanks and no snow where live in Southern Ontario with 40-F

[@debt4717]

Brrrrrr...awe, the memories (says Deb as she picks an orange off of her tree). Seriously, I miss SoDak every single day. I'd trade these orange trees for Black Hills pines any day. Retirement can't come soon enough, and when it does, I'll be headed north. Stay safe, stay warm, my friends, and may God bless you and your families.

[@johannaraisch4051]

Thank you for all that you do and with a smile on your faces, regardless of weather. Coo coo ca choo ! 😊

[@JudyJudyJudy44]

That was really beautiful when you were driving through the trees in the snow ... God is good!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Yeah, with drought conditions here, I sure was glad to get a second cut on my fields, wasn't much, but saved a lot of money. We're gonna be close but I think we'll make it to grass growth. Those cold days takes a lot and with the snow and rain we really have to increase our hay to the cows, along with the protein tubs and minerals. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching, have a nice weekend.

[@michelletauson2867]

Prayers for safety and health for you and your cattle! 9 inches of snow a little over a week ago and 70 yesterday in Maryland! Had my windows open and did barn chores in a t-shirt. Crazy

[@JoeWoolley-rf5fq]

Hey guys never miss a video . Thank you for sharing part of your lives . But Cole you look like the Unibomber. . With you hoodie and dark glasses… Haha. 🤣😂

[@SonneFarms]

😊 thank you

[@dougvinduska9593]

Don't forget Valentine Day im sure the intern has an outfit just for that day she's been saving. Looks like the moisture might just break the drought.

[@theirishman8356]

Claviing times a coming, 🎵🎶🐂 ohhhhh claving times a coming.🎵🎶🐂

[@JoeMurray-nm9ge]

Hi Brian and Cole You guys are amazing dealing with the harsh winter weather. Do the cattle not loose weight when the weather is so harsh.? In Northern Ireland all cattle are housed over winter ,it’s wetter here. Brian why don’t you put up a cardboard cut out of yourself when you are doing gate duty. Really enjoyed your video👍

[@amym8479]

Thank you for another great father-son Sonne video. Wishing you all the best during your calving period.

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you!

[@nwb2795]

The snow is so beautiful to me….but I live in a Southern state that never sees snow ❄️ Cole, I know you and your Dad work hard but 10 times harder in the snow! There are spots in your video that I just stopped it and looked at the snow!!! Thank you for this snow!!! ❤️❄️

[@Pigpen1202]

Your animal husbandry is second to none 🎉. Love y’all

[@lindarenslow8057]

Hey Cole my dad and I used to feed cattle. It was ether ungodly cold or hot as hell, but we loved it. I enjoy watching you both. By the way I was my daddy’s girl. I’m 75 and have no plans o retirement. I bought me big Peterbilt, and I love running out there where you all are. You have go a good life. Linda Renslow

[@mennoreuten1563]

Glad we dont have to go true some polar vortex wheather overhere in the netherlands, overhere we can smell the spring, stay warm and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@dalegereaux1863]

It looked pretty cold while I was watching today so I put my hoodie on to help you guys stay warm. 👍😉

[@jeffryzimmerman1291]

Not a criticism Mrs. Robinson Simon Garfunkel is Hey hey Hey kookookookoo Choo goes with the walrus . keep up the good work.miss working my cattle even in the bad weather 😅

[@charleslynch7274]

My hat goes off to u and ur dad not easy work when it's snowing and freezing out

[@josephpuou96]

🥶stay warm be safe guys 😮 Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽🌴😎

[@benthomas3418]

soo true about the mail.. i sometime put mail time off for a few days on purpose lol

[@MSNet1]

It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get with the weather. Mother Nature does what she wants. Hopefully, this will contribute to a better planting season.

[@williammatzek4660]

Thanks have a good evening!

[@tomhill4765]

That payloader is certainly a big asset on your farm

[@philjungels7617]

"But, we will take the moisture, whenever we can get it!"

[@meghanplamondon8639]

And Brian again for the win with the song of the day, you’re on a roll! ❤

[@ronromkoz5995]

Enjoyed the video Cole...I could be wrong but in a previous video your Dad didn't give his "Song of the Day" anyways hope you didn't get too cold or much snow! BTW love the John Deere equipment!👍

[@rachellefrombrizzy9604]

I think it was “King of the Road”. 😊

[@GO-xs8pj]

Mrs. Robinson; the original cougar.

[@darrenpautzke3795]

Boy oh boy. That Mother Nature is a cantankerous lady. Way to keep the girls healthy and happy. Thank for the song Brian

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job scraping the pens Cole

[@cynthiaarundel2240]

God bless our farmers 🙏🏻

[@DanielleHogan-q9k]

Can you talk about which segments of cattle production you participate in? (Stocker vs feeder...) Maybe describe which category the cattle are . We really enjoy watching.

[@lindabradford4918]

I LOVE ME SOME SONNE FARMS!!

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Not bragging but I have Letcher , S D. On my weather channel . I know it’s been brutal. I hope the cows do well. Hope you stay safe and warm too

[@briansonne814]

thanks John!

[@cindym.1618]

I watched your first video so I could compare the farm then to the improvements you've made to this point. Wow!! You've come a long way and I'm so happy to have come on this journey with you. I'm glad I'm not a cow (turns up thermostat). Edited to say I love your videos because you don't talk too much. Is that a Scandinavian trait? My uncle was from South Dakota and he was the same way. Didn't say much but when he did it was worth listening to.

[@byamrcn]

Yeah I thought about you guys during this stretch--even for the northern states this was a tough one. Hope everybody made it through okay.

[@kennywiesemann4959]

Stay warm and please be careful in the cold. And take good care of those cows. Keep sending the great videos. Love seeing them in Illinois.

[@MrCrazycook8]

Good news: MT Vernon, SD weather- +36f today, Saturday warming up to 47f on Thursday. Next video Cole will be in shorts and t-shirt

[@mmurphy2317]

...and then we will be blinded...by the light...err... white?!😎

[@SonneFarms]

Sounds great!

[@stevebiddle8912]

Stay safe and warm during this terrible weather

[@coltlewis5871]

Not even enough to build a proper snowman! Stay warm guys.

[@randycharest4507]

I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO COLE AND BRIAN 😊

[@randybutler4772]

Why do they ever leave the feed bunker ? They could warm up w/out leaving food. But they do need to drink. Thank you for sharing.🐂

[@livingthedreamag]

We just came out of a deep freeze in our area and now it is raining about every day. Cattle farming is not easy this time of year. I would prefer frozen ground any day. Good luck!

[@riwoof]

There at the end, that wire jumped right up and bit you in the but-tox, Forrest. 🦷🦷🦷😁

[@donnaparrish7638]

Lol

[@carinshaffer5980]

😁😎

[@glennspreeman1634]

That big loader is sure pulling its share of the work. That from an old farm boy that a '48 A with an F10 FarmHand was a deal

[@barbarastedillie1336]

That was great information you just put out there about how much hay you all go through, and then the information on the ranches in Montana and Wyoming. I’m such a freak for nonsensical information. I just kinda hoard it in my little mind!

[@mr_mongo7228]

Guess I shouldn’t complain about those 60’s were having this beautiful Saturday morning.

[@gregcatlett1458]

Mrs ROBINSON THANKS BRAIN. 😂😂 HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH UNCLE JEFF!!?, Thanks men. !,!!

[@EnthusiasticLake-mv7ms]

Great, interesting, and so much fun to watch. God bless you.

[@dennishill3463]

👍 Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀

[@mattshell7753]

Thanks for taking care of the cattle so well. Hopefully I'll get a chance to buy some this year. Take care you and Dad try to stay warm.

[@cindyn7512]

Spotted one of your Hereford heifers in the group --- looking forward to seeing those Black Baldy calves in a bit!

[@Marshall_Weber]

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

[@tonykazz2779]

You look colder than I'm used to here in Florida

[@markpetersen3007]

Some of the best content on you tube ❤

[@tommychew6544]

There's nothing quite like a good snow video. Coo Cooka Chew.🙂

[@Renae5040]

Good song ,my husband and I listened to them a lot and now our kids do😊

[@billbrown5813]

I remember milking cows when it was that cold. You just hug the cows a little closer. LOL

[@caesar1295]

Hey Brian, coo coo ca choo that’s a lot of frozen poo! 😂😂

[@JackieDannenberg]

Been thinking about you and the inevitable weather. Hard to believe it’s almost time for calving. Stay safe ! I guess staying warm is out of the question. Thanks for all you do !

[@barbcoleus]

Such hard working guys. I appreciate you.

[@SirOpinesALot]

Does it ever feel like gates are never wide enough? 😁

[@davekovacs8818]

Great video to see how animals get through these cold snaps

[@joshkirk8828]

Love your videos I am a cow calf op in Virginia

[@robertdavison328]

Cole, my girlfriend and I were watching today's video and we have a complaint. All of the upgrades to the gates and the fencing have made some less interesting content. So I propose that you go back to leave some gates open. We love watching and look forward to seeing your videos..

[@briansonne814]

hahaha

[@davidkimmel4216]

Good luck with the storm coming.

[@tonyjones9715]

Thank you for your great videos.

[@donnaparrish7638]

Coocoocatchoo Cole and Brian….Your beevos still look lovely as you know…woah woah woah… You guys bundle up. Prayers going up for all farmers and those who have to be out in the freezing weather. We can’t thank you enough…God bless you please Cole and Brian…Jesus loves you more than you will know…whoa..whoa..whoa Thanks for the correction…thanks for feeding us all. Storla Station

[@briansonne814]

whoa whoa whoa

[@vickimiller537]

Need plant some confers they make dense wind break back where the old barn was a bout 10confers about minu of 2-3ft tall about 15ft a part will have to water in summer heat sum watering to keep them alive so they get established . It would be a natural wind wind break. In the winter cow will stand in the leaward side make sure set back 3ft from the fences. When get grow other wildlife will use it also birds rabbits .

[@ashlandgunclub1000]

3 things that keeps me from moving to SD, Winter, my century and a half family farm in the sunny south and Brian scares me. 😂😂😂

[@blister762]

Hey Cole, on your new invention, I re-watched the last video and if you do move the head out a few more inches then you might want to put some weight on the other side of the plate to balance it. That much spinning mass hanging off the side should be counter balanced or you're going to shake your skid steer apart.

[@fritzie1968]

Cole spitting facts - mail time becomes bill time which eventually becomes complete junk mail time. LOL. Love the vids and try to stay warm Sonnes!

[@genegustafson1665]

Find a set of tire chains for that end loader and you won't have no problem getting stuck in any situation. You should be able to find a used set of chains

[@coltsjason]

Yeah I agree with tire chains that loader will go anywhere

[@idsnow]

About the bowed rod on your failed contraption: you can take out most of a bow like that by heating up the middle of the convex side with a torch. When it cools it will pull the metal and take the bend out. (of course bit by bit is better). I used that trick plenty of times when fabricating, even on thick 3 inch square tube.

[@mr.billhillerich]

Love your guys video's. And I can relate. When I was young I used to help out on one of my uncles farms here in Ohio. I had to milk the bulls, feed the hay. My dog as best friend would answer me when I asked him how it felt to work the farm, he always had the same answer..." Ruff"!!😅😊

[@darksarcasm4835]

Milking bulls seems like it would be a mighty dangerous proposition-your uncle must not have been very fond of you or your help.😂😅😅

[@mr.billhillerich]

@@darksarcasm4835 baaahaaaa...yep he was a " REAL McCoy"!

[@michaelg.5862]
