Bad Bloody day of farming

[@melodeebadley5801]

Thank you for your video sharing. I run a small cattle operation here in southern Oregon. I am 64 year old woman who works full time as nurse practitioner then full time on my farm. I have 22 head of commercial and registered Angus. I have had some good days and bad days and watching your videos really gives me comfort that I'm doing "ok". I love raising beef and know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Would love to come visit your farm someday if I ever get to South Dakota.

[@cathiwim]

How many times can I like your comment!! You are a busy gal! I am a midwife, with a small mini-farm on the side, just 5 acres, but i produce some of our food, and sell some and make wine. Keep up the good work!

[@peggooo]

Melodeon how do you have time to watch Sonne Farm videos? what a woman!! bless you! 😊

[@deborahsimmons2414]

The daily onslaught of having a big farm. Kudos to you and your Dad!

[@lloydsjostrom1054]

I like watching you feed the cattle real nice operation. My dad let the cows run the cornfield all winter long the cows stayed out the field till blizzard then in barn they went.

[@LiLBitsDK]

there at 12:30 I notice only one wheel spinning, don't you have a pedal to push that locks in both tires so both will spin (easier to get unstuck) I know we have that over here on most the tractors I have seen.

[@switzerblitzer2701]

It's a really sinking feeling when you lose a head of livestock. You work hard every day and do your best and still these things happen. It sucks. Once had a feeder steer get pneumonia and lost it when the vet tried to give it antibiotic in the vein. Good luck guys.

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you!

[@Budd56]

12:38. LMAO 😂 😂. Now that's funny. You guys get along well I can tell. It's nice you two can joke around like that👍👍👍✌️

[@heartwoodfarms9982]

Real world ranching, the good the bad and the ugly. Well done. Too many other ag channels are turning into nothing more than long advertisements for shiny new equipment..

[@sclivestock5943]

Sounds like Dad needs a snickers. My son and I bust each other often when working. Good video.Too bad you lost a bull.

[@jasonmalone6983]

Another great video. You are seriously a great film maker.

[@SonneFarms]

Wow, thank you!

[@justmin858]

Yes..they run a great farm...and are great at filming too... So ENJOYABLE 👍🤗👍

[@tomreyes4423]

Great video!!! More video time for dad, he's hilarious. Sad for the lost of the bull, but it shows what you guys are up against everyday and how you have to deal with it.

[@sleepyseminoob2258]

I worked at a stable where ppl boarded their horses and got the luck of finding one dead one morning... it's a shocker but saddly part of life.

[@Eon69nc]

Too funny when your dad called you a prick and you are like yeah. Made my day.

[@michaelkoop5380]

Always fun in the winter

[@davidgay2679]

Much respect for you, I feed 14 cows on a small farm in SC, your feedings are a major event!!

[@bradyford6901]

David Gay i feed 2500

[@seanfabien1289]

Very good videos, a good education about farms. From Scotland

[@leroyschlabach3697]

3:34 The dog wanted to taste some fresh beef too.

[@jamesmarsh4957]

wow you guys do it so different to us here in the Uk , our cattle are outside but have the use of a shed if they like , reallt good watching , will film ours then so you can see

[@JoSaPeMe]

Youre getting good at this edit thing. Laughed a lot at the bite scene :'') good job man, love your vids

[@jayt6524]

I came back to earlier videos for some reason and found out that Brian appreciates you more now (December 2021). You are not a prick now. 😂awesome

[@SonneFarms]

hahaha thanks

[@chasem6491]

Hey Cole! Hope all is well! These videos are great, keep it up!

[@SonneFarms]

Thank Chase!

[@chriscrosby8012]

Ellie you bad bad girl biting the cows ear !! What were you thinking silly goose😊. Oh my goodness that’s awful about the bull. Sorry ☹️ Great video thanks 🙋‍♀️💗

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Hi Cole just watched this video again and was wondering if you found out what caused that bull to die?

[@uloztaycock5418]

My first Sonne Farms video.. Subscribed!! Great work guys..

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel!

[@roadrunnerzx7]

“ so dad what did we learn today “ long pause the funny a$$ response 😆😆

[@StephenMortimer]

The dog and dad will be sleeping outside tonite if Mom sees this video

[@valtur25]

clearly his dad doesn't learn anything since he knows everything, like mine does or any other farmer dads

[@StephenMortimer]

@@valtur25 I'd like to hear from MrsMom

[@joyceholdeman5432]

I saw the dog jumping up into the feed trough and biting the animals ears.

[@shaneflickinger]

What do you do with the dead animals? Bury them somewhere on the farm? Do you ever send any tissue/blood samples to a lab to figure out what killed them? Thanks for the video. Always enjoy them!

[@frankscruggs4749]

sorry about the loss of your bull and as usual- good video.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks Frank!

[@MetaView7]

You are a very good cinemaphotographer.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!!

[@wilycat5290]

Nice editing! Thanks for the video 😊

[@rocksandoil2241]

Some times a cow dog just cannot resist...my border collie was the same way. Had to yield to temptation occasionally

[@albertlong1465]

Hey Cole man, U got ur nice orange hat dirty.☘🇨🇦

[@randaljohnson9177]

Those bale processer work great we have a highline with final cut so we grind are own bales do use it to windrow hay in the field for cows.

[@herdingcats3850]

Pray for you for farming in South Dakota. Too cold for me. Best of everything in 2020..

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you!

[@matthewvoyles8658]

Hope you had a merry merry Christmas Sonne Farms

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks, you too!

[@dennishettinger4469]

Enjoyed and liked guys ! thank you !!!!

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks Dennis!

[@NovoGold]

Was that dirt you put in the feed..?

[@CRAIGVY]

Cole this one is great , peace craig

[@thunderball421]

what did you do with the dead bull?

[@michaelbruning5786]

What did you do with the dead bull?

[@deweylauridsen1774]

Yes, dad did it again! I had to back up the film. He burned you .🤣 If he keeps making me bust up laughing, someone better send me a diaper to put on before watching. I sure enjoyed working cattle on our farm. This makes me want to ditch my career and rejoin the family farm again. My parents are about 50miles from your location. Winter completes things. And naughty Ellie 🐶 Thanks again, Professor Dewey L.

[@hampster221]

Enoying the music as you fly the drone and level the area. ;-)

[@fotomann40]

Sorry for the loss of the bull! If I remember right, didn't Ellie bite the ear of one of them last year too? I wonder if the cow nipped at Ellie so she retaliated! But a great video non the less! Merry Christmas Sonne Frames!

[@faberfarming]

bad doggie nice video and happy new year

[@daniellittle1011]

Doesn’t the net wrap get wrapped up in the knives on the blue processor

[@SonneFarms]

It does, but as it builds up the knives start to cut off the wrap, it is sort of self cleaning

[@smithbros.syrupcompany1236]

sorry about your loss with The bull

[@pennyduncan9609]

Question 😉 nothing to do with calving or mommas or tractors or farming.... What music do you and Brian like....?....x

[@SonneFarms]

I like everything!

[@bobbiemooser7417]

What do you do with the dead bull?

[@wayneblake1886]

You said you heard shooting going on ,maybe the cow got hit .

[@Megibson]

The camera angles on this video were really good👍👍

[@SonneFarms]

Yay, thank you!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Finding dead critters is never good... If he was stuck in a hole and couldn't get up, at least you would know what happened... Last one we lost that we didn't really know what happened, was an awesome bull calf! Weaned off over 700#.... All we could figure out is he had his head under the fence sneaking some grass.... And got ran over by half the cow heard when we let them out.... BTW, dogs butt would have a boot in it!!! Thanks for the video!

[@johndouglasdawson7298]

Another great vid.Leg arms can fix. And save a little money.Good on you

[@StephenMortimer]

12:42 KUDOS to the KID !! If MrsMom see this... the DOG and DAD will be sharing bedding OUTSIDE for a week

[@StephenMortimer]

Now you can know who really listens to your videos

[@ajoutdoors5687]

What was that that you used for bedding ?

[@SonneFarms]

That was soybean stover, we didn't get any corn stalks baled

[@SC-sf8xt]

clostridium perfringens a, b, c, d e the alphabet killers. Sometimes change in feeding from pasture to feed or stress from regrouping can trigger C. Perringens A . Like you say it happens so fast it take take an animal very quickly.

[@bobbysears6626]

You said a few days ago y’all had cows in a corn field. Do y’all shoot dove up there? Thanks for sharing

[@Spike643]

I wonder if the Bull had been shot, and died near the feed lot? Too bad. Hate to see sick or dead animals. But that's farming. Great video as usual.

[@garyhunter6030]

Sorry about your bull. Any loss farming is bad as it takes a lot of work and expense just to break even.

[@jakenorthern9496]

Why no diff lock or 4 wheel drive to get unstuck? - Wouldn't have been an issue - I'm confused

[@SonneFarms]

I forgot to use the diff lock, haha looks like if it was engaged it would have came out a lot sooner! The 4wd was engaged

[@jakenorthern9496]

@@SonneFarms ah cool ok, just wondered thats all!

[@OurNerdFarm]

Never would have known what happened to that ear without the GoPro. Crazy. Thanks for the video.

[@benn1851]

do you guys chop your bales with the net wrap still on? @sonnefarms

[@stevenmitchell1240]

how do you dispose of deceased animals?

[@kevin.463]

Looks like a typical day Cole, at least at our place.....

[@troypersson7630]

Dad got a little testy with junior, you have to earn the right to ask that question.

[@pladapus9712]

What is the difference for my heifer or a bowl

[@SonneFarms]

A heifer is a female, a bull is a male

[@blakejordan2694]

What do you do with animals that have died?

[@April8989]

Mike Rowe did a dirty jobs story about dealing with dead farm animals. There's a truck comes and skins the hide for leather and the meat and bones are ground up and taken to Las Vegas and is used on the dollar buffets out there. I might have two different episodes mixed up here so hope you got to laugh 😂.

[@rongrose3746]

Happy New Year to you and your families !!

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks you too!

[@barbarastedillie1336]

Interesting and enjoyable! You never did follow up on the sick calf tho...and did you ever find out what the bull died of, or was the sick calf mistaken for the dead bull ?

[@brianmcbride99]

no diff lock on that 6155 machine that was stuck?

[@SonneFarms]

I forgot to engage it when we were pulling it out. Before we hooked a chain up we tried backing out while having the dif lock engaged

[@curtisowens4588]

lol I like when he said your a prick I thought we new that 🍺🍔😂😂😂

[@bodenjackson1373]

On our scraper we have blocks so it weighs it down

[@rancher35]

Great video. Keep them coming. Happy New Year.

[@SonneFarms]

Happy New Year!

[@danielrandolph9170]

Good video cole tell your dad that was awesome come back I see the apple don't fall to far from the tree lmao & I see yal dont need no snow but yal are good at what ya do . Did you take the bull to the vet to see why it died ?

[@Aaron-ol2fm]

Did u find out what's up with the heifer? Where do u take your dead cows?

[@SonneFarms]

Hey guys, I am not sure why that one calf didn't come up that morning, but since then they all come up.

[@saskdutchkid]

If you have live stock your gonna have dead stock to! Looked like one of those long days with everything not going to plan but at least with a KZbin channel it makes for a good video hahaha! Sweet video dude! Also sweet drone shots!

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks Jan! Yea its funny, disaster on the farm means a win for the youtube channel, always draws in more attention!

[@larrybaker5514]

What happened to the dead bull

[@ceaser6411]

So what do u do with the dead cow

[@beverlyallen5308]

So sorry

[@gursewakk13]

where are you from bro ?

[@cadenoberbroekling2202]

You guys should look into a Myrenk Farm Service (Platte SD) feed wagon and box scraper.

[@vxnova1]

12:30. What’s wrong with the diff lock on the tractor, both wheels should be spinning

[@SonneFarms]

I forgot to engage it, it probably would have came out a lot easier if I had engaged it!

[@vxnova1]

Sonne Farms or maybe never got stuck, Good work though. Nice seeing the videos and the work you do. Especially when stuff go wrong, :-)

[@mikebonge7206]

Sorry for the bull. That dog is mean little critter You still going college. Nice job

[@SonneFarms]

Yea, currently on Christmas break, one semester left, graduating in May!

[@mikebonge7206]

Good. Hope you are taking first aid in last semester. Congratulations

an other great video, thanks, really interesting and entertaining

[@FlightPlanAviation]

Hello from Sioux Falls!! 👋👋

[@SonneFarms]

Howdy!

[@Agsgutters1]

Why don’t you add spikes to the front edge of the scraper to breaking up soil and the. The drag will smooth it out

[@SonneFarms]

we dont want to break up the soil

[@albertlong1465]

Hey Cole man, what do u call that hound- dog? Ellie? or Ally? Every time I broke up with a Fiancé, I named my dog after her!

[@jonblais6225]

one of my neighbors was losing calf's like crazy for what seemed to be no reason and it took us awhile to find out that his donkey was grabbing them by the neck and being rough with them. he lost quite a bit of money worth of calf's that winter. It's kinda funny that the reason he has the 2 donkeys are for protection for the herd yet it ended up being worse than the wolves, coyotes and bears.

[@SonneFarms]

Thats crazy!

[@tomcurtis197]

Sorry you lost a bull!!

[@CedarCreekHomestead]

Great video, I hate getting stuck.

What did your dad say about the dead bull?

How about that little calf that was in the corner ?

[@chad7153]

When a animal dies what do you do with it?

[@SonneFarms]

Put it on the steps of a corrupt government official

[@SonneFarms]

ha just kidding, some people get a rendering truck to come in to pick them up, otherwise most people have a hole to put them in

[@kdf4440]

you dont clean the spoilage off the top of the silage before you feed it

[@davidrollins4272]

Good video. Dumb question from a non-farmer carnivore - can you butcher the bull that passed if you found him soon enough?

[@SonneFarms]

Great question! Some people that butcher their own cattle will cut up a critter that has just died. Otherwise, some dog food companies use dead critters in their dog food

[@markissboi3583]

2:28 something interesting goin on ere! - when the cows tougues are frozen to metal poles you have a problem 🙄

[@philipoconnor2236]

Great channel! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪👍your silage clamp.... Is that sheeted with polythene??? Doesn't look like it but it must be or just rolled very good for it to ferment

[@SonneFarms]

We don't put a sheet over it, we do pack it, driving back and forth many times.

[@MegaJulianB]

Hi why don’t you cover your silage? Is it always cold enough in your region? (first time on your channel) Greetings from northern Germany 👋🏻🐮

[@SonneFarms]

We just dont think the quality diminishes that much to give us the need to cover it

[@MegaJulianB]

Sonne Farms that would mean you always have low temperature in the winter?!
