We had to Buy Hay

[@SbrGrendel65]

The star of the show Ellie, Co-Staring Cole and Brian! Not getting 3 cuttings of Alfalfa hurt this year, but never fear. Farmers are resourceful and other farmers are willing to help when they can.

[@sallydunbar1683]

Cole, I appreciate your channel so much. My Dad passed on Christmas Day 5 years ago. He was a life-long corn/soybean farmer who loved raising Black Angus (much smaller scale than you guys, 40 head or so). Your videos remind me of so many good memories of him. Thank you and your Dad for that. Merry Christmas to Sonne Farms, God bless!

[@briansonne814]

Thanks Sally!

[@barbcoleus]

I enjoy your channel so much. I don’t know anything about cattle but yours seem to look very healthy.

[@barbcoleus]

I went to an Aldis way down here i SW Florida and they had stroupwaffles 😊

[@jzoom5790]

@@barbcoleus healthy cows. Watch Just a few acres farm. Pete in NY is amazing too.

[@barbcoleus]

@@jzoom5790 I’ve watched his channel and it’s very good Sorry your dad passed away. Especially that it happened on Christmas Day. My parents have been gone since 1980 or so..

Ellie knows she’s got to roll in all the stinkiest nasty stuff on the farm. That’s part of her job of farm dog queen. Now there’s a song. ‘We got water runnin’ over and the fertilizer truck’s here’ 026 is a good lookin’ girl, that’s for sure. How satisfying is that? First it won’t start then it does with a little boost. I want a Stroopwafel! Oh what a beautiful shot! Black cows standing on a golden field under a sky of white, yellow, blue, gray. Yeah, really nice. How is the calf with the gas doing now? I’ve wondered. Thanks for sharing! Storla Station

[@Boomer848848]

You need a hot beverage to go with your stroopwafel. Resting it on the top of your mug for a few minutes warms it up, makes them so much better.

[@troycurrie7784]

Cows get a little fertilizer mixed with the stalks to help'em grow while their feeding in the pasture.

[@mrmongo6722]

Spotting a Fox during the day is one of those things I was able to do a few times when I lived back in Ohio about four decades ago. Nothing but coyotes running the streets here in Southern California. Got to love those heated and chilled seats this time a year I hit the remote start on my Challenger to make sure I am comfortable when I take off in the morning. Kinda sucks you are running low on feed fortunately you able to get a load to get you by. You got to keep the livestock feed especially with a lot of them getting ready calf. Got to keep slinging that poo on the fields in hopes you get some rain next year.

Ellie never stays dirty looking for long! I've been watching farmers helping others who have passed or who are ill. I love the comradery! Next year should be better for you especially if you get a blizzard like Ryan Hall is calling for.

[@cathiwim]

Love me some heated seats! But I took the extra electric hookup and used it for a Ham radio instead.

Cole I’ve been in bed with the flu the last 4 days and shuffling through videos on your channel on my big screen TV. My wife checks on me every so often and says “You’re still watching Sonne Farms??!!” 😝. Amazing to see how far this channel has come. Nice buck btw 🇺🇸

[@briansonne814]

Thank you I know you have watched us a long time.

[@ryanlaughlin1564]

Welcome to the club about buying hay. We lost a lot of our hay ground we rented

[@williammerry4746]

Cole, you take ordinary farm tasks and make them into a most interesting video. The drone shots of those beautiful cattle and other shots are the work of an artist. Mr. Brian just keeps moving with no complaining and lots of warmth. Love you guys. May you all have a wonderful Christmas with the rich blessings of our heavenly Father.

[@garywaxler1910]

Cole, great video using the drone. Just OUTSTANDING.

[@scottpage4995]

I’m from the far northeast corner of Mississippi we’rei grew up farming corn an soybeans an we topped out hogs my dad was a 2 nd gen farmer we quit farming farming in the late 90s for reason we couldn’t help !! I miss the life I’m subscribed to last of channels I miss all aspects farming … A story sticks out in my head that I heard many time in 1986 we liked 200 acres of soybeans it had been to wet to get them out Christmas Eve the temperature dropped way below freezing the ground froze hard an he was able to get the beans out ….. anyways I enjoy the videos .. Merry Christmas

[@bethrowlette8933]

Simply... absolutely ..beautiful... the drone footage with the music... perfect Cole...

[@SonneFarms]

thanks!

[@doubletapgaming1189]

Your getting some great shots with that fancy flying machine ya got.. It takes the videos to another level....

[@QuadeQuick]

I'm a big fan of the stroopwafels, Cole... our local German meat market often carries them so I feel like I should support international outreach in that way.

[@summerrancher8044]

Any truck/tractor you run in the winter, I'd suggest doing an oil change and going to a full synthetic. Makes a world of difference when cranking the engine over.

[@purplerunner1715]

Brians drone "issues " just keeps getting better and better. And Ellies ways of spreading to love is just next level smell 🤣

[@kylenilsestuen3766]

One of the guys in the ring at a heifer/brood cow sale on Monday night I was buying cows at was using a Sonne Farms slappy over in Lanesboro, eastern MN. I laughed a little to hard when I saw it.

[@williamwarnold6737]

As I work at tyres for a living, I was particularly interested in that part of your video. I also understand you have tire jet sealant installed., and I am also assuming that the tyre is tubeless. The tyre appears in the video as having lost some PSI but was not completely flat, this indicates that a nail or screw or something is embedded, and will loss some PSi in the park up position. To identify the problem,blow the tyre completely up to full pressure,and search with soapy water. If you identify a nail, pull it, and for a screw, use a screw driver to unscrew, so as not to damage the inner cord’s. Fully re air the tyre and put the problem area down on the ground, the tire jet fluid should kick in and run to and fix the problem. If no puncturing objects have been identified, your loss of psi could be from the tyre beads or valve stem area. Hopefully you don’t have a tube. I always advise my customers to go tubeless were POSSIBLE. 👍

Great job unloading bales Cole

[@bobbynichols7159]

That self propelled auger is cool anything to make things go smoother

Stroopwafels! A tip: lay one on top of a hot cup of coffee/tea/chocolate and enjoy eating them a bit warm!

[@tombratton3196]

LOL That cow was saying im not afraid of a big bee! When the drone was close to it. ;)

[@byamrcn]

Not surprised you could use some more feed with all the extra critters dad has been picking up! Hope you get better rain numbers next year so you can stock back up.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

I bet dad has a plan to convert critters to green backs.

[@sallydunbar1683]

Ya gotta spend money to make money!

[@norrinebuchholz3236]

I saw in a farm magazine to keep your water in the stock tanks from freezing to fill a milk jug with salted water and seal. Let it float in your tank to keep the water from freezing. And if it dies freeze the cattle can push it out of the way to get a drink. Haven’t Tried it yet.

[@briansonne814]

im gonna try it

[@charlesvaughn9055]

Good job guys, 😁 stay safe, warm God Bless

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Sorry you are having to buy hay but thankful you found some. Those drone shots and footage are fantastic. Ms. Ellie doesn't appreciate the puparaazzi when she is snacking.

There's a hole behind the rear sprocket on your fertilizer spreader that lets fert dribble out the side. And nice video.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Busy time today. Fertilizer and water and hauling hay and all kinds of jobs to do. That is the farm for you. You and dad are super at teamwork. Respect both of you a great deal. Lots to keep busy with. Thanks for the song of the day Brian. Nice you found a connection for getting some hay. That worked out good. Really like your payloader. You are getting good use out of it. Nice unit. All for now. You take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything.

That big cold reluctant-to-start engine,.... please have a look at the "Thermostart" system since I can see you have a nice long section of metal tube in the intake plumbing which could be modified with a "Flame Heater" with very few engineering difficulties. It's an old system but it works to provide a big slug of hot air which encourages combustion (gets it started).

Anchorage, AK - we've had 30"+ of snow in the past 8-days. Another 12"+ coming this afternoon/tonight. I think what you have coming is from our storm late last week. I'm surprised you would be fertilizing in a field that your cows are grazing in.
