You fellows have to have the skills of a veterinarian, and agronomist , a plumber, an electrician, a tractor mechanic, truck mechanic, professional truck driver, carpenter,husband, father, machinist, welder, large equipment operator, hay farmer, corn farmer, soybean farmer, I’ve watched this show since the very early videos, I don’t know how long, maybe 5 years, and it is a part of my life now. I know it gets tedious for you to set up these cameras, Cole, and probably even Brain is doing it now. Oh, I forgot , he has the skills of a music publisher, also. Thank you both,for the things you do , the joy you bring to probably millions of people. I have learned more than you can possibly imagine, and I hope that you never tire of these things , that you so unselfishly share with us . Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time for this comment. Much appreciated!

@@tamisonne2519 Your family could never know , the happiness you are sharing around the world. Maybe now, after these many years, you do, and the millions of comments you have received, but your family is more familiar to me, than members of my own family . The weekly adventures have become my most favorite you tube channel . If I may, I’d love to see Cole do a segment on your garden vegetables. I have a garden and would like to see the differences in a garden in S Dakota and mine in Savannah Georgia.

Happy and Blessed Easter to the Sonne family, friends and viewers.

[@jackie9645]

First off I’m so happy that you both didn’t get hurt when trying to get one of the twins out. Honestly I didn’t think Brian had made it at first. I’m sorry for the loss of the calf. Where God brought one home to Him he provided a twin. Wishing the entire Sonne family a very happy and safe Easter!

[@dalegereaux1863]

That's nice you were able to convince the cow to adopt one of the twins. 👍

[@JAACS74]

Patients, teamwork, love and father's love to bond with his son! Amazing ❤

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Sorry to hear you lost a calf Cole, sometimes you just never know. Hopefully the nurse cow and the twin accept each other.

[@nwb2795]

Whewww, Cole hollered “Dad” when that Mama cow almost ran over you….that scared me for you, Brian!! 😳 I know y’all have to stay on your toes all the time!!! 😊

[@shelleystory3692]

Oh my gosh Cole, you and your dad be careful! We don't want to see either one of you hurt! ❤

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Whew that was a close one, you and your dad was lucky there. It wasn't good that you lost a calf, but it did help one of the twins and the mamma cow out. We had one a few years ago that we had to bottle feed because we didn't have a cow to put it on, a lot of work and a cost too. Anyways, good to see you got the calves taken care of, I want to wish you all a blessed Easter!

[@DannyStuchell]

I've said this before Give a farmer a go pro and he will produce a video 1000% better than Hollywood

Looks like the twin got a new mommy. Hope that works. Glad neither of you got hurt. Boy that looked tense. Stay healthy and be safe

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

nice two stepping Cole and Brian.. It makes me smile when you are trying to load calves. two in one out..

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Cole and Brian. It was interesting and exciting. Cole, sorry to hear you lost a calf. Sometimes we never know why. Hang in there. That mother cow was bound and determined to get both of you. Wow. I was not there and I was scared for both of you. Wow. She did not want to give up that calf I guess. So glad you both are ok and not hurt. I got knocked over several times. Those cows can be so quick. Glad you got the double pulley out on ok. That old one did not want to come off. Runs good now. Yeah. Good job Brian and Cole. Sending my prayers to all of the Sonne families for a nice Easter!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for everything. You both take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@SirWhiteRabbit-gr5so]

Compared to other YT cattle farmers, the Sonnes have remarkable success-rate in fertility and survival of both mothers and claves.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!

[@akelkhunter]

That momma didn’t want to give her calf up. Understandable. Glad you’re both okay.

[@sharonm3677]

Well…………that was an adrenaline rush that got my heart started! That cow scared the bejeezus outta me and I wasn’t there. Glad your both okay. That momma takes her parenting pretty serious and man nothing was stopping her! Glad the foster cow was willing to take the new baby on. Great video. Love seeing how you two strategize and come up with fixes around the farm. My dad was a farmer and he was the same way. There was nothing he couldn’t fix or remodel and make it work! Love your videos. Have a great Easter Sonne family. ❤❤

[@stevenpurcell4292]

Brian got them moves like Jagger, too.😅

[@MikeMarkison-v2k]

Thank you for the great explanation on the benefits of separating twin calf's when able. Awesome moves getting out of the way of that cow.

[@SonneFarms]

Our pleasure!

[@darrenpautzke3795]

Sad to hear about the loss of that calf I know it’s life but still it’s sad. Sorry to hear it. Glad you were able to get mama to that other twin calf that’s pretty awesome. Hopefully she takes it and loves it and feeds it good and it becomes one of your top bulls. Paul great job on that pulley too. By the way good song.

[@gingerwasheck4160]

I just love watching you guys move the babies around. Like herding cats!! lol Great entertainment to say the least! Love your videos.

[@rdyardie]

I still remember the cow who charged the old red farm pickup when I was much younger. The cousin and I had the calf in the Ford pickup. My Uncle George got a kick out of seeing the size of our eyes. He laughed when he knew we were alright. A few years ago we attended the memorial service for Uncle George. He was always good to me. I appreciate the farm memories that you cause me to go over. Thank you . . . and be careful with those cows.

[@electronictrip]

I hope it all works out for the twins and they grow to be good n healthy!

[@roberthoffman5145]

Thank you Sonne farms!!!!!

[@Dan.Whiteford]

Wishing you both all the best with that fostering. Don't get too confident around some of these single suckler cows as they will not think twice about mowing you down or worse if they get into panic mode or super protective mum. Many farmers will experience calf losses of up to 5% (including those born dead or dying within 6 hrs of birth) so you are doing really well so far.

[@carson6475]

Thanks for explaining the twin calf issues so well. I never knew how hard it was on a cow to feed more than one calf. I wonder why God gave them four teats?

You guys have a fantastic setup for calving. I know it wasn't built overnight. Great job fellas!

[@seth1704]

2 years ago we bought 6 herfords from the sale barn with horns, got them cheap, well cheap doesn't usually mean good. They were, let's just say skittish. One developed foot rot, and after about the second time with the Ole LA200 she was a little apprehensive about going in our catch pen. The first 2 treatments I got her in myself but this time my dad came along. Well I was in front and the cow put her head down and I turned and she put me to the ground. She ripped a hole in the backside of my blue jeans and a horn sized hole through my whitey tighties, and put a horn shaped gash right between my nut sack and but hole. I probably should have gotten a few stitches and a lock jaw shot but I let it heal on its own and thankfully turned out fine.

[@darksarcasm4835]

Good grief! I’m glad it ended well.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

That would have been an interesting injury to explain to the ER staff...

[@dianepeterson6313]

glad you recovered with no major infections or lock jar. You should of gone , & bought a lottery ticket. With your luck, you'd a millionaire. But you'd still be the dullest pencil in the box. God had his eyes on you that day. That cow would have kept your belly full 1f I had been there & had a vote.

[@cobra7250]

Hi Cole, you may be aware of this already, but just in case when you purchase belts for the double pulley, they should be purchasing a match set. Single belts are not all the same size it’s very little difference, but it does make it difference if one belts tight and one is not tight after you tension it up. Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work. I love your show.

[@markprice1984]

And fix that motor box where the wires enter (we call them pecker heads). You are in some serious danger of electrocution when one of those wire's insulation rubs off from vibration.

Your pants are only protected till the lime burns them off you and we get our wish. Good video. Pax.

The experiences of cross calves onto other cows is that once the calf has a bowl movement the cow somehow recognizes it as its own.

Enjoyed your video cattle look great. Hope the twins new mom takes care with her new calf. Have a great day.

[@franciscyr2471]

Just thought Cole, if you drill out the set screw hole & used a drift pin instead of the screw , if you ever need to change out the pulley again it might be easier to drive out a pin than trying to loosen a set screw. ( also drilling the pulley on a drill press, but I know you know that)😂 Bet you never figured you’d need you calf catcher inside the barn. 😅😅😅 You guys stay safe, and Happy Easter to the whole Sonne Farms Family.

[@chevy358ci]

Thanks for another great video! Not saying you did anything wrong with the easy out, I have the same ones and the best way I've found is to clamp a small pair of visegrips to the top of the easy out and slowly rotate the easy out while tapping with a hammer untill it bites in. Seems to work for me, but some stuff is just to stuck and I have to resort to the "I'm done messing around" tool like you did.
