Unloading Stacks of Hay Before Calving

[@drddianesbryant]

Brian, although I’m a number of years older than you, I always love your song of the day! Unlike me, my Ex listened to music every waking hour that he was able, so I learned to appreciate the classics through him. My two sons and music were his greatest contributions to our 25 years together. I can’t wait for the calves!

[@nesandhiller5323]

Busy, productive day! That semi driver loved his life when he saw both of you ready to unload him.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Ice and your knee Cole, scary combination.---Looking at that snowy yard made me think of Buffy Saint Marie's song about the Seasons, (the Circle Game). I appreciate Brian's song of the day, my era, own the LP.

[@byamrcn]

17:07 That was nicely filmed--the trek up the stairs was worth it. Well done. Hope we can get a calving or two live...maybe?

[@crzymurdock5270]

Here praying for lots of rain for you guys in 2023 so you can build your hay stock back up. Brian great song choice today. That song describes what you have done with all your boys.

[@mollytheda9273]

Your camera work is really appreciated! Enjoyed the top view time lapse of unloading the new hay. It’s like a tractor ballet! 😱

[@SonneFarms]

Awesome, thank you!

[@marshalsullivan1311]

The dry sense of humor is my favorite part. Anyone around a farming community or farm town knows that even when the farmer is being funny he still looks serious. Great videos enjoy watching. Your dad is a large part of why I tune in.....

[@delanomiller]

I don’t know how y’all work in all that snow and cold. This Tennessee old woman couldn’t handle it. Be safe stay warm and God bless.

[@sallydyck3104]

Pretty nice dance you two did when you unloaded the trailer... Great content, only two short.. the Herefords look beautiful..

[@katemoir9122]

Cole's two favorite words: "moist" (which hasn't been heard in awhile) and "lunch."

[@SonneFarms]

bingo

[@leannkennedy6568]

Funny how they go together, eh?

[@rogerwilliam83]

Wow I have seen over just the few years I have been watching,back when you were just starting you were under 50,000 subs and at one point you were doing a give away of a old tractor I think to try and get you to 100,000 subs ,I have seen bgg your dad buy new equipment ,I think he is addicated to new equipment and that helps you do your job better and more efficient, safer must be a great place to be in life after years and years of hard and lean times which he was able to survive and grow to having which must be one of the finest well run farms in South Dakota or probably within a thousand miles ,he and your family must be so proud to have him as your father and you Cole are a fine son and iam sure you dont take him and your farm for granted ,I just needed to say these to things to your dad and you after watching you for years now ,iam 68 and retired in 2017 after 40 years working in a Public Works Dept here in LA county, and now dreaming that I could have lived as a farmer or just on a small ranch somewhere, that's why I enjoy watching you so thank you for that and tell your dad and give him a hug from me that he is a great husband and father that was able to do things great for his family and hopefully for 100 years of future generations and Cole I hope you will continue to have a great farm and make your kids proud also someday GOD BLESS THE ENTIRE FAMILY FROM ROGER

[@arthenry498]

WOW!! That was a busy day!! Bug you guys pulled it off! And quite well I might add Impressive. It is truly amazing the amount of setup/tear down, configure/reconfigure, that goes on there. All geared to the seasons and the timing of the animals!! And then the seasons go haywire and mess it all up. Thanks for the look inside your operation. Ya make it look too easy. ALMOST makes me think I could do it myself. But I know better. But I certainly enjoy watching YOU do it.

[@dma9646]

Nothing, but Nothing beats team work!!.

[@amym8479]

Tiffany.. given the choices I’d keep Elizabeth too!

[@ryanwaege7251]

Cole, I almost spit my drink out... ...on the poop deck. 🤣🤌😁😂

[@idsnow]

Watching the goings on on your ranch is a lot more real and pleasant than the regular g.d. news.

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Enjoy seeing all that you accomplished. When you listed the things you did, then said ‘ I guess that’s all’, couldn’t help but smile. What an understatement!

[@bf2moviemaker]

Really you guys keep ploughin through the snow, here about half an inch to an inch of snow and the whole country won't do anything anymore😂😂 Respect to you and your dad! greetings from the dutchies

[@rosaolbera8768]

Hello Sonne you All hasv lots of beautiful anow stay warm outthere nice to see you both again Rosa olbera

[@janicewilliams6820]

praying for your ranch to have a safe, successful calving season..

[@bm-is2vs]

thanks brian one of the songs of our youth

[@larrydavidson3402]

Watching you two unload the semi is a very well coordinated operation.

[@barbarastedillie1336]

Watching you two unload that hay was like watching a beautiful ballet!!

[@thedeepfriar6742]

I was never a big CSN (&Y) fan so this might be the first time since I've been watching for a couple years that I actually had never heard the Song of the Day!

[@JohnMichael0226]

A slice of apple pie is $2.50 in Jamaica and $3.00 in the Bahamas. These are the pie rates of the Caribbean.

[@denault3985]

A Slice would be $5-6.00, here in Valencia, CA USA.

[@quarterlimit5838]

Best comment on here 🤣

[@rogermcclary1996]

We,

[@walterfrancis7962]

[@paulprigge1209]

Thank you! There is time and effort to put these videos out. We appreciate it especially those of us who have done what you have done for a living. So much time involved.

[@kellyscut1761]

Hey, your channel is the only one I've watched where I think to myself "I wish they'd do a live". I really enjoy your content. Thanks.

[@SonneFarms]

I appreciate that!

[@terryhobdy5727]

Another nice video Cole 👍 I'm glad everything is going well.

[@jenniferkaiser637]

Have been following your journey in Georgia. I grew up in Murdo SD. ❤

[@pdrphil8159]

Calving & spring . My favorite time of yr

Busy busy busy. Great video. Awesome song of the day.

[@debt4717]

Really cool video, Cole! You guys sure put in the hours. I love the drone segments and the background music that you put in some of your episodes. Great job!!

[@tommychew6544]

Great video as always guys, hard to believe calving time is here already. Time is flying by, be planting before we know it.

[@drk218]

Great video, Cole! Enjoyed so much! Hi Brian 🎶

[@Ordrock7]

[@mattshell7753]

[@steveneal2706]

Another great video. Cole and Mr. B , are some awesome cattle farmer. Thank y'all so much guys

[@loisblais3431]

It’s awesome to have that special second person to work along side, cuz they can help remember the things the other forgot.. finish sentences… laugh at your jokes😳. Every delivery truck driver loves it when folks are right there to take delivery. Quite a dance of the two loaders. Oh ya… Steve the pirate…. maybe two minds aren’t enough 🤣🤣

[@lindabradford4918]

Great song BRIMASTER!!!

[@ghraptor30]

Those guy's liked the two loaders and made short work of it. Keep the great content coming...calfing soon oh yah.

[@crownme513]

You guys make a great team! Love the videos and happy that you upload regularly.

[@Greenmtnman]

“Steve the pirate”… I love Dodgeball😂😂

[@suecardilini5900]

Sad to hear that David Crosby passed away, but wow what a song I'm singing it in my head 🎼

[@bradlyretallick4152]

If you go on the back side of the seat on the track skidloader there might be a heated seat. It's on the left side when sitting in the seat.

[@cathiwim]

Thanks Brian! Now I’m sitting here singing it! I used to have that album, and memorized nearly everything on it!

[@gardenlady3814]

I love watching calving season! You guys are great! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@marcopolo5365]

U gotta learn, Cole, U gotta learn!!! Don't mess with HER name!!!

[@darrylolson6292]

Tiffany Don't Mess with Me Sonne has a pirate ring to it.

[@peterhennigar7789]

It’s always a blast watching you guys work together.😊

[@SonneFarms]

So glad!

[@theirishman8356]

Claving time again...🐂🐂🐂

[@roberthoffman5145]

Thank you Sonne farms!!

[@howbow911]

[@MrRang827]

U should invest in a flat deck semi trailer to haul ur own bales u have 2 tractor trucks doin nothing wen ur not hauling corn and it’s tough watching how many loads u do with green thing😂 much love from new Zealand 🤙🏾

[@sherylhutton138]

Enjoyed as always. Can't wait for calving to start.

[@SonneFarms]

You and me both!

[@danfinley3690]

Good to y’all thanks for another cool video always something new stay safe and warm

[@jackbarry9469]

Cole if u do freeze tracks just use pickup exhaust to thaw ive done it before we were building calving shed and tracks froze so we parked a truck with rubber pipe in it's exhaust to blow it on the rollers and they thawed after an hour or so, we just did constructuon prep work in mean time

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for the great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Busy time for you getting ready for calf season. Lots to do to get ready. Plus all the other things that need doing. Nice you have the payloader now for that extra hand. Same with the track skid loader. Seems there is always a need for more equipment. Winter time makes extra work like getting doors unstuck and such. Always something. Thanks for everything Sonne’s. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@mitchellgourley4642]

Very good video Cole I can’t wait to see the calving system starts. I’m kind excited.

[@lindabradford4918]

TEAMWORK IN ACTION!!!

[@stevebiddle8912]

Looking forward to seeing calving start. This will be my second February to watch it

[@Evelyn-vs3fk]

You my dear are truly amazing 👍👍. I am so impressed with the knowledge you have at your age. So nice to see a father and son working together…🍀🍀

[@gatecity5284]

Maybe after it warms up I would love to see a review on the pay loader. 😊 love the videos

[@lindaphillips1481]

Hey Cole, Your truck is a baby!! LOL!! My '96 Dodge has over 320K on it! Still going strong (knock on wood)! LOL!! Doesn't getting stuff marked off the "To Do List" make for a good feeling at the end of the day? Until you see the list for the next day!! LOL!! Have a great weekend!! Looking forward to calving time.

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@Dan-qy1rg]

You and your dad really got a lot of hay moved, that loader is a beast. I really like watching the hay loading and unloading, makes me itch for summer. Good one Cole, thanks for sharing, hope everyone has a great weekend.🚜😀

[@mmurphy2317]

[@sashcraft51]

Very busy vlog. That ice. Cold starts. Uck.

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Great team work on the unloading of hay Cole & Brian . The drone footage was also. That semi driver got out quick would be my guess. Is that Vemmer new . What was the temperature that day? 2/11/23 5:15 here . God Bless look forward to the calving.

Always fun to watch!

[@danielminto998]

Thanks

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you for your kindness !

[@Pep8691]

If you wouldn't get DMCA'd the music for the last hay unloading with the load and tractor should have been "The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats.. "we can dance, we can dance.. Everything's out of control.. We can dance, we can dance.. They're doing it from pole to pole.. We can dance, we can dance.. Everybody look at your hands.. We can dance, we can dance.. Everybody's taking the chance.. Safety dance" 😏

[@randychristian7642]

when all that snow melts it will look like Southern Louisiana again.

[@barbarastedillie1336]

Sooo anxious for calving to begin. And btw, when you say ‘calves’ I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about! Proper word is ‘claving’……Love you guys!

[@dianepeterson6313]

Is city slickers calling it cleaving. That or being funny. We always called it calving when our black Angus were having their calves. Never had a set of twins. Had 2 baldies 1 years. A heirford bull got in & bred 2 of our heifers up on the govt pasture lands where dad took some of the herd each spring - fall. Sure was a surprise to go out & find baby calves with white faces on them. They sure were cute. Dad wasn't too thrilled when he got home & we told him we had a white face calf in the shed.

[@randy6650]

Jobs well done guys
