Welding Windbreaks into Shade for Cattle

[@sharonbeneke4016]

You have come a long way from this video to the ones you do now. Good job!!!!!

[@wallaceloan4169]

You do take care of your cattle and Cole this was a great idea to give your cattle shelter from the sun and heat. Great video Cole

[@lorinaw3001]

You are just so smart !!! Good job for the shade for your cattle !!!!

[@rogerwilson9892]

Sunshine means Sonne leads me to this Sunshine On My Shoulder by John Denver and Walking On Sunshine by Katrinia and The Wave. That was a good use of wind breaks panels now they have a duel propose nice video .

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

Nice work

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks Eric!

[@danielrandolph9170]

Yall did good Sonne awesome & your dad was thinking ahead on the extended boom rig I would had done the same thing I am 59 I expect your dad close to my age and yal both did good team work !yal be safe good video 👍🇺🇸

[@josephrodgers3119]

Taking care of those that help take care of you, another good video, great skills. I have an Uncle Sonny, we pronounce his name Dumb _ _ _. But I still love him, he's my Uncle. Y'all have a great one and thanks again.

[@owenx5]

Great job. Hope the wind will leave those panels alone!

[@josephrodgers3119]

Food for thought, put up a hameck " however you spell it" cow gets in holds it down, problem solved. Just saying.

[@bubbawubba2307]

When the cows start scratching on those poles how long will they last? Might need to put some angle iron bracing on em

[@brutebetter9188]

Love watching your Vlogs! 🇺🇸

[@BWYinYang]

An idea use garage door - slide up/over for shade and slide down for wind break. Cows thanks Sonne and so will customers.

[@jamesmolesson9991]

Thank you for wearing your safety glasses!!

[@vtscratchalot4423]

Those are some happy livestock

[@barbcoleus]

We have sheets like that here in Florida to put in our windows before hurricanes.

[@danfinley3690]

Always enjoy the videos

[@nancysonleitner3598]

Very clever!

[@steveadams4009]

It's nice to provide some shade for your cattle but I live in Oklahoma and have always raised Black Angus and Black Baldy, and just to let you know they do just fine in the heat and cold.

[@ernestfineday1289]

Nice music on time lapse videos.

[@piperdoug428]

Yeah for general heavy gauge welding i just use the stick, wind n dirt doesn't matter as much.

[@CRAIGVY]

Pretty inventive , wow you have serious common sense and logic and skill , a very hard to come by asset these days , my work now is Pecvd R&D absolutely could not do with out your same intelligence level ' not sure how i ran on to your channel but awesome to see a younger person with as we call it street smarts , have a nice day peace craig

[@laohantun7404]

Good metal works...quick thinking....would it be nicer, paint welded spots, to prevent rust. Weld cross angle bar to strengthen structure a bit...little stinless steel chain 500 kg to weld or hook with stainless u bolt, in future need to shift places easier...one tractor... Dad is wise....boom works for hoisting😁😁😁

[@shutterbugg5217]

Consider getting a tank of 100% CO2. It's generally cheaper and burns hotter. But for these windy situations, just get some good flux core wire and you won't need any gas.

[@collingronseth764]

Hey... so when you flip them over I’d suggest tying a locking chain loosely to The frame of your forks to the bottom of the frame of your Windbreaks to prevent them from turning over that violently. You can also get some pallet fork extensions that won’t allow the panel to go all the way over too. Also if you leave them in all year your center of gravity will be altered and I when the wind is flexing the panel, that might be added weight to start bending the panel or alter its performance as a Windbreak! Remember you are heavily mechanically advantaged up there so 50 lbs gets to be a lot of weight.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks for the information, I actually talked to my dad about pallet fork extensions a couple days ago, I think that is a good idea.

[@billconch3514]

Cool move!

[@mikebonge7206]

smart thinking,, nice

[@robertdaly9036]

Great video. Please use the guard on your angle grinder. Safety first. 👍👍

[@steveadams4009]

If you are welding steel mostly you can save a lot of money by using a 75/25 mixture of argon and co2. readily available at your elding supply, gives better penetration, and works better on what I call junk iron.

[@catgynt9148]

Did you create the windbreakers from materials salvaged from prior year’s storm damage? Love how you are thinking ahead and making devices become multipurpose. Appreciate your videos and explanations. Wishing you and your family another great week.

[@patrickpigg4132]

Ever thought of using flux core welding wire? Works great outside. PS, Cole. hearing protection

[@stanleyjones4180]

enjoyed the video thanks

[@bobcrone6151]

Also, do you plan to rotate these for winter and deploy them again as wind brakes? If so, will you remove the added leg structure to take the extra weight off the top when they become wind brakes again? Or will you just use these as shelter devices now going forward...for driving rain, sleet, snow, hail etc...

[@SonneFarms]

When it starts getting cooler outside we will tip them back over to protect from wind, not sure if we will take the legs off though

[@bobcrone6151]

You’re gonna wish you did. If I had to guess, when you re-deploy these as wind breaks, the added weight up top is gonna move the CG (center of gravity) on the structure so high that 70 mph gusts are gonna thrash those things to unrecognizable scrap piles. Think about it :) Not trying to be hyper-critical here. Just wanted to point that out...

[@richardh8355]

Shade and windbreak important for the cattle

[@Turbo_Porkchop]

Is 10:41 played backwards? That cow snapping it’s head like that I’ve never seen before.

[@daledallas9630]

Treatin your cows alot better than some Asmussens do here in Eastern Washington....

[@unknownkansasboy]

Yawl are awesome

[@curtweatherbee2523]

Thank you for correcting me on your last name because I said it the wrong way🤭🐝👍🏻

[@CanalDaCarregadeira]

Cool in, suseso there friend 🇧🇷🇺🇸

[@DLKHAY]

that is slick

[@oscarjohansson79]

8.45 is the visibility downwards so bad that you need another person guiding when attaching a bucket?

[@SonneFarms]

Yea it can be a little difficult

[@oscarjohansson79]

@@SonneFarms the hoods on jd tractors seem to make the visibility bad when using the frontloader

[@edklingman6389]

great idea, I could use that.

[@RobertLidstroem]

The pens have like half-a-meter of gooo/mud in them, doesnt seem to bother either you or the animals, but in Sweden that would be illegal, and "animalcruelty" of sorts. I'm not yelling at ya, just comparing animal-health in the us and sweden. Here in sweden they have much concern for the feet (hoofs?), dont know the correct word in english though? Great video non the less!

[@SonneFarms]

Very interesting!

[@heretohelp1805]

I noticed that too. In Australia if your animals are confined and fed and they're dirty you are considered by losing money and have potential welfare issues. Also noticed heaps chem trails in your good steward vid and none now?? Great channel. Cheers.

[@PMSNBC]

Never noticed that Sonne Black Angus NO BULL Seasoning at any of the stores I shop at...

[@tylereldridge6945]

Did you make the windbreak also? Good work man!

[@vtscratchalot4423]

Don't forget to mention unplugging the saw, locking out the cord cap to prevent saw from turning on while changing blade you need all your digits sry too many years in factory to many rules lol great videos

[@burkhardt7372]

stfu

[@melissaraml7451]

Do you know Colin gronseth by parkston? He builds windbreaks that you can convert to shades

[@SonneFarms]

I actually called him the other day, I decided to do the work myself and save a few hundred dollars

[@elischultes6587]

Look mom a kite!!

[@gib815]

Are these shades lined up east to west ? Cattle will get better shade that way. Check out " Texas Grazer " channel, big dairy farm in Texas, and he explains why they do it that way.. Hes got a really good channel to, needs some shout outs from people. 👍

[@geo52041]

Do you every scrap out the lots? They must just get full of manure

[@SonneFarms]

We scrape them multiple times a year

[@thefarmingmachine4103]

You should have cut the other legs on top so if it got struck by lightning

[@stanschmitz5566]

Come on dude, use your stick welder. Wind won't bother that.

[@barrybeggs8543]

Wind will blow the arc. out in unprotected areas that is from a 40 year welder

[@bobcrone6151]

Cool vid. No pun intended. Where did you get your fabrication skills?. I think younger viewers would be interested in that... General practical experience around the farm? Dad teach you? Any sort of college-level welding classes? If so, what types of classes? All of the above? Thx for the upload!

[@SonneFarms]

I actually took a welding class in high school

[@firstlast5681]

🙂❤

[@willr69420]

*So Cole, who's the better welder, you or your dad?*

[@SonneFarms]

Probably me! I took a few classes and spent a lot of time doing it!

[@rushhookhornadventures20]

Is that your guys seasoning?

[@SonneFarms]

yessir

[@rushhookhornadventures20]

That is awesome! Anywhere to purchase it?

Where is your music from

[@SonneFarms]

free youtube music

[@israelperez570]

Do you know where your name originates?

[@SonneFarms]

Its Danish

[@israelperez570]

Please Google it to get the whole meaning and origination

[@israelperez570]

Your name actually means the Sun, from middle German sonne also sunne meaning sun. Either a habitational name for someone living at a house distinguished by the sign of the Sun or from a field name. Jewish askenazi. In 1940 people with the name s o n n e, farmers for men was popular and school teachers for women. That's pretty kool Cole. You can tell I'm a history buff. Talk to you later man. If you like you can look up the name Perez

[@logins7381]

I didn’t know your last name was pronounced that way. Are you feeding them cattle until there fat and selling them straight to butcher? Good video and idea.

[@SonneFarms]

These heifers are being bred and we will calve them out this spring

[@logins7381]

Oh I see

[@Ropeman302]

Try using cold cut chop saw you will never go back to them shit abrasive chop saw

[@SonneFarms]

One of our friends has a cold cut saw and i've used it before, they are really awesome!

[@gainesinlife]

LOL your boots look like uggs

[@youtubeuser5320]

Sonne is a german word for sun and is not spoken "sunny" search on yt "rammstein Sonne" (0:58) there you can hear how it is spoken correctly. But however nice video though 👍 and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@avonsix]

KZbin User it’s his last name dude.

[@SquireMickMack]

Yep, an English speaker could approximate the German pronunciation for Sonne (Sun) something like "zone-ah".

[@lmelin1959]

Those don't look very sturdy. I think you need some bigger triangular braces in the corners.
