I could get a good look at a T-Bone by sticking my head up a bulls butt, but I'd rather take the butchers word for it. -Tommy Boy

It's gotta be your bull

[@infiniteadam7352]

So is the pasture going to be littered with testicles next week?

[@infiniteadam7352]

You could crush those rocks and spead the minerals throughout the field would be good for it, use your post driver to pound them into dust... im all about using what is available for free to build soil. I took charcoal from a building fire and made biochar, I mixed the charcoal with manure and roots from weeds I pulled to add microrrizae, I also compost to make fungi dominated compost. Its amazing what that does for the crops, I don't use hardly any fertilizer, I wish I could work on a larger scale making these things to improve soil, I grew up on a small farm, but just have the back yard now to tinker with. I enjoy all your videos, hope to see how you work on improving your soil in future videos!

[@vickimiller537]

You will not have any heifer bulls if you dont castra some of the the younger bulls. .

We had so much tag loss that we just said the hell with them and started freeze branding our herd. Best thing we ever done. More work but then you never have to worry about losing a damn ear tag

Brian's little slappy dance was the best. That's all I got to say about that.

[@meghanplamondon8639]

So glad the weights this year were good, but I’ve just to mention how totally impressed I am at how both of you can spot a cow and know right away……..his mom, if she was a first timer, if she was a good mom, or if she had twins, if she was an experienced mom and did well in the years before, if it’s a nasty bull( ok, that even I might remember, lol),or even if it had eye issues! All of this by looking at either a tag or just his shape! It shows how totally dedicated to your farm and your cows you all are ( including uncle Jeff in here)! It’s no wonder that folks come from far and wide year after year to buy your bulls for breeding, they are raised well. Good on you all, well done! 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@briansonne814]

Meghan , we really appreciate this!

Cole ! You are so lucky that Brian was in a good mood when you let those cattleZ escape, otherwise you might have ended up banded ! 😂

[@briansonne814]

it was actually my fault.

[@dalegereaux1863]

@@briansonne814 okay for owning up to the small mistake only one week of double secret probation.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I think those are some nice looking calves. Knowing your calves and how to respond to problems such as pink eye or intestinal issues can really set your calves weight gain and growth forward or backward. All cattle farmers know that a good healthy herd is attributed to hard work and attention to details. Congrats on your success in weight gains. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and have a great weekend!

[@desertdweller4951]

Brian owned the show 👏 Prancing and ball breaking. As always, a great video Cole. Glad your all doing well and being safe.

When we upgraded our facility about 4 yrs ago with Arrowquip system we decided to install the scale in the alley. It works great and we always have it available this way.... and the monitor is always charged :) I like your hydraulic system however out of range for our size operation. Bindering is the best option in my opinion by far.

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting for sure. Loved Brian’s dance with the slap’s. Good foot moves-ha!!!!!! Your herd weights are just great. You are raising some great beef. Once again, my compliments to the Sonne ‘s for being excellent herdsmen. Appreciate the way you treat and handle your herd. You two have a good system and make it work. Good weights on your herd. Next time close the gate, oh well, things happen. Happened to me more than once. Thanks for the storla station hats. Good deal. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.

My dad raised Angus cattle for about 20 years. Those are some beautiful claves men. Dad bought some bulls and heifers back in the 80s from some farms in South Dakota and Iowa. Thanks fellows for your efforts !!!

[@doubleglfarms9750]

Hello Sonne Farms!! So you have a love/hate relationship with technology too!?! So frustrating when things aren’t ready to go when you think they should be! You have a nice looking set of bulls calves! Sorry, but it was good to see we are not the only ones who occasionally forget to shut a gate or block the hole!🤣 Us girls just worked our weaned calves a couple weeks ago. We don’t sell bulls so we band as soon as we can after birth. We miss out on the natural growth hormone, but we think it is easier for us girls to handle. Can you imagine life before skid steers? Have a blessed day!

[@treyhereford7840]

Weaning weights will increase in drier weather If you have any grass it’s “stronger” grass. Ie more nutrients and easier to digest Higher moisture grass they have to eat more of it to do the same benefit

[@briansonne814]

yes it has been proven many times here as well.

[@domination1985]

We normally brand our calfs as soon and their nuts drop but we had 2 we wanted to keep as bulls but changed our minds and had them cut and they look way bigger then the other calfs and look more like bulls build wise

[@peteparker7396]

Ahhhh yes! Sonne Frames, changing claves from ambition to nutrition! If momma is a class A beach? As my Dad would say, she needs to be turned into Mcdinalds hamburger, because she will raise a calf just like her. And it’s true every time.

[@JUSTICEK]

Hi Cole and Brian. next time you do that could you keep it in the back of your mind to do a close-up in the chute to get a good look at what a "bad eye" looks like if you ever treat them in the chute again. What kind of injection do you give for the eye issues? Was it pink eye that you're treating? Are you finding more during the drought times that have been happening or when flies are bad? Or both? I appreciate seeing what you did so far with the eyes. I love learning about animal husbandry more than the big machines videos because I've seen so many accidents on the farm when I was growing up the machines scare the hell out of me to watch you guys around them sometimes. Thanks a lot.

What ever your doing it sure seems to be working. Hi from Canada!
