As a youngster, standing in line at the feed store, I complained about the smell of a nearby dairy farm. The well heeled farmer type standing behind me said “sweetheart, that’s the sweet smell of money, lots and lots of money!”
I’m 78 now, never forgot it😉.
I'm a city girl that finally got away from pulling a reefer after many years & started pulling a hopper. My favorite runs were always to farms with their feed. I loved dealing with farmers. Good people, gave me lots of info on the way they did things, etc. But I remember one older gentleman that said that same thing while I was unloading his feed. It was a particularly hot day & the breeze was FULL of that scent of $$$. I miss ALL of that now.
Great song Brian, I had forgotten all about it. “We’re gonna get wild, wild, wild.” I guess it was not too wild, Cole didn’t tear his meniscus whilst dodging a cow. May I just say…all the cattle looked great! In fact-they looked delicious!❤❤❤
Some lucky cattlemen will go home with some fantastic Sonne Farms bull calves soon. You chose the right cattle handling equipment with your Arrowquip setups, makes the processes you choose efficient and effective. Your knees held up with your calf chase, Cole, nicely done.
Those fold up, transportable, cattle stations are great. Worth their weight in gold.
Chasing calves down the fence line on foot. That brings back not so pleasant memories. LOL
You make working cattle look easy! I was asked to brush hog a friends field on his ranch on Saturday to get it ready for goose hunting and his young black Angus kept charging at me when I came though the gate and was trying to get to the tractor. I was thinking I could use a slappy or a Brian or a Cole to help. I sure didn't know what to do!
My Angus bull gave my tractor and loader a hard time a couple times now he don't even bother it
Your herd is looking great, Cole!!!
Thanks for another great video Cole and Brian. It was interesting.
Wonderful job of working your herd. Absolutely great teamwork.
My compliments to both of you for being amazingly fine herdsmen. You both are the best!!!!!!!!!
You give your calves the finest care that is for sure and the moms also. Amazing to watch you manage the herd. Nice.
You got the tractor cleaned up getting it ready for a paint finish job like the other had earlier. Means you liked the first one done I hope.
Cleaning out the stock trailer and the manure smell means money to me. Hang in there.
Good run Cole catching that calf. Yea.
Great song and music Brian for the song of the day. Thanks Brian.
About it I guess. You both take care and be safe. Thanks for everything Sonne’s. Thanks.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
You really know how to handle cattle. Always good to watch you handle and care for your cattle. The Arrowquip really makes working with cattle a lot easier. Thanks for the video Cole Take Care and Be safe on the farm Out.
You guys are moving in this video… no playing around there!!!!good job 😉👍
Cole and Brian, those were calves??!! Wow! Also, your weeding out the mean cows has really been paying off it seems. We rarely see you having a cow put you in serious danger, which is a very good thing. Keep up the good work and stay safe. 👍❤️
Do you ever get used to them as they beller like that year after year? I grew up on a farm and I have always felt a bit sad for them being separated from their moms.. but I also know it’s important to do it because the cows can’t support them and their new calf at the same time
You definitely get your workout unfolding that chute
Your crop is a lot better than what you thought when you got no rain. Turned out pretty well.
That Arrowquip equipment - nice. Looks like something a really smart cattleman would buy.
Cole that was almost like Flash Gordon. God bless
Wow another sweet video Cole. Thanks for taking us along for the ride be safe y’all
The sound effect was funny. Seems like everyone is weaning now. Great looking cattle and awesome video. Thanks!
Good show today, Cole 👍
And your assistant Brian did a good job today too 👍
I turned up the volume and my 2 year old Australian Shepard/ Mastif went crazy. She loves messing with the cattle.
Nice to have all the calves weaned. Now it's time to wash the livestock trailer before the big freeze. Funny how Cole thought he was going to outrun that bull calf, especially with his 'bad' knee. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Loved the NASCAR sounds when Cole was running. Your cattle sure look healthy!
Love the part where Cole is chasing the calf little bit of Nascar sound 😊
Great song of the day Brian, I enjoy when you confuse Cole with your great sense of humor 😂
Loved the sound effect both times.
That was a GREAT video! Really impressive camera work with all the REAL work is getting done. I really appreciate the effort. Your videos never get old. Its a lot of fun watching you two working together. Smooth as silk. (At least you guys make I t look like it😉)
Thank you very much!
That Arrowquip “traveling corral” is so impressive! Got all you need on wheels!!
I like watching your videos more than watching Yellow Stone. Only the calves get shot and in the end everyone is happy. I also use barbwire gates. I swapped the 3" wood posts supports for 2" galvanized tubing, much lighter & easier on the back. Add a foot pad for muddy conditions? You guys have the best looking weanling calves. You must have really good DNA in your bulls & cows. Awesome!!
It’s always a pleasure to see how easily you two can work cattle together. That portable corral is the best 😊
My dad always said it smelled like money. Love watching.
You & your Dad really work hard Cole...Thank You for another GREAT VLOG...
GBY BOTH & Your Beautiful Families ALWAYS 🙏❤️💙💖💙🐕...💙🤗✝️
Very uniform cattle. I have a feeling bull day gonna be $$$$$. Again great looking cattle. Great job gentlemen
I am absolutely EXCITED! One of those bulls is gonna be my bull!
Those are some amazing looking bulls.
yes Pam!
What a team you two are. Wow Cole you sounded like you had bionic legs you were running so fast. Lol. You know that people are going to start spreading manure on their faces now right? Lol. Love the song Brian, one of my favourites! ❤❤
amazing video Cole and Mr. B.. thank you both for a job well done.
Cole, you have some of THE BEST camera angles in today’s video. And the cattle sure were noisy. 🌹❤️ NJ
I must compliment you and the quality of your equipment, many ranchers tend to piece meal a makeshift pen together and get more labor to help with the gathering, hauling, working, etc. not realizing the money they may save (from labor costs alone) by just having better equipment has a pretty good ROI.
Secondly, the cost of a high headed calf or cow pushing through a less than stellar pen, make them just that much harder to catch again and they will inevitably try to find a hole in the pen and escape or try to, which in turn drives up expenses and wastes time.
Keep up making the great videos.
People who bitch a
bout beef prices need to watch your videos... So much hard work goes into raising cattle... WOW...ty!!!!
U have to admit it is sad for Mama and baby being separated....😢❤🙏
Ya have a great set up for working cattle pretty cool
Not often that we see fog in your videos. You have some great looking bulls!!
Sonne Farms has a good working herd health- calves are healthy (big) and gaining weight. You don't see any setbacks in the herd. Kudos' guy's for your hard work.
I say this each video I watch of you amazing father and son, you are so hard working and do so many difficult things. You make me proud to watch how you do everything on your farm with such knowledge and confidence.. thank you for doing what you do.. ❤❤👏👏👏
So, I don't know if you're like me, but when I have a calf that does like that one did, bolt away, I run the liven tar out of it to wear the snot out of it! You have some really nice looking calves there. Hey, congrats on getting the calves all taken care of! Thanks for sharing, speed racer...you have a good one too!
I love how the arrowquip stuff works so well. I’m guessing Brian’s bull calves will be part of Bull Day one day. What is Cole going to do with his calves? Auction, kept them around until time to go to town?
Amazing looking and.well behaved cows and calves. God Bless.
It’s officially winter. Brians got a fresh set of big yellows out.
haha
You gotta crawl before u walk Cole. 29 isn't bad you'll get there. Just takes time.
Perhaps this winter, when daily work slows a bit, you could do a video on how you select which cows go with which bull for the breeding program. Do you use genetic testing or just eyeball and experience to choose?
Brian and Cole - exceptional looking bull calves!!
BEAUTIFUL CALVES!
You are so kind
Loved the race car sounds! ❤️
Doggone those are some fine looking bull calves. You guys raise some great animals.
Such a great video. All those Facebook haters could never do what you 2 do on a daily basis. They would be gaging with the smell and cleaning out the cattle trailer.. You two are such incredibly hard workers, and truly care about the health, and life of your cattle, thank god for what you do!! Be safe and may your cattle have great healthy babies!!
That is so kind thanks Mary Ann
Great content!! It's always a blast hanging out with you 2
Glad you enjoy it!
Those boys look Bonny indeed! when you were pouring the stuff on his head I imagined you were anointing him and saying bless you my son
looks like you gave 919 a little too much solution, oh wow man, I think I'll sit down here and mush out😵💫😜
Those claves are huge,
Good looking calves.
Cole and Tiffany better start work on getting some sons. That portable corral is going to be tough setting up by yourself Cole. ❤😂😂😂
@ 7:55 you got one STONED AND CALMED down goooood 😂😂 Cole Brian agree on stench / smell 😂 . Looked as If it was a cold ,cloudy,dreary looking weather.
Cole here is a million dollar idea for you, you should put a slot in the front of the cattle trailer so you can slide in a spray bar and hook a garden hose up to it, then when you want to clean it, park it some where and put the spray bar in and let it run for awhile and maybe most of the stuff will run out on its own, then you can go it and scrub the rest out.
The ending got me LOL, great video Cole!
I'm curious to know your thoughts on the gel you put on their poll and nose. Did it do what you hoped? You've weaned some really nice calves!
RUN FOREST!!! LOL
Glad you got all the calves weaned.
That’s an impressive mobile coral. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
QUESTION, do y'all ever deal with hoof maintenance issues (abscesses, infections) in your cattle? I've watched every episode for years, and I don't recall it ever coming up! 🤷♂️
We keep issues as low as we can with regular vaccinations. Hoof maintenence has never been needed here i guess.
@@briansonne814 "Nate The Hoof Guy" has a whole UA-cam channel of fixing damaged hooves. I thought maybe it was more prevalent.
Perfect song of the day Brian now I’ve got an ear worm and I’ll be singing that song in my head for the next few hours! The stench of cleaning out the trailer has to smell like money! 😂
It really does not. It just smells crappy.
😆 That race car sound effect was so awesome the first time, I'm glad it made it in twice!!! 😆
Awesome herd great work you two
Calves look really good. Handle really well too.
Your pastures look pretty green
It's really enjoyable to watch people work cattle, who aren't doing a constant Richard Simmons routine, or hoopin and hollerin like they're at a Metallica concert. Prey animals don't need constant yelling. Body positioning is substantially more important. Great work Sonne Farms.
I like the song of the day! And Cole, I think you need a little more cover for the exfolliant will do you much good! LOL
I really like these calve videos.
hey guys, are those water feeders made from actual tractor tires? that sound effect with Cole bolting after the calf was hilarious!
Sure do like your portable & fixed corral systems. First rate 👌 👍
It’s amazing what a man can do with good equipment
Hi Cole. How many heifers are you holding back in your herd? How many replacement heifers is your dad holding back?
I used to be a city office worker and ended up as an organic dairy farmer. It's funny how you get used to cow smell. And you're spot on about different manure smells.. some are 🤢. Or maybe that's just Aussie cows..😮
Good luck rounding up your cows and calves Brian and Cole
Smells like Money to me, that’s what my Uncle would of said. Great video it was goofy to see a Hereford 😊
Your bull calves do look excellent. What bull sire sired most of them?
Hi everyone thank you for sharing everything.God bless you all.
That "calming " solution really works. One didn't even want to leave the head gate aftet bring processed! Do they make a human version of that calming stuff?😊😅
Yes its called Busch Light.
😂😅
hard to belive 100 cows made that much manure in the trail;er in those shot trips to the pastures - always enjoy the ocntent and excellent commentary Thanks for sharing 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜🚜
Hello, i love your dad's song of the day. Brings back memories 😊😊 Thank you for all the awesome videos. ❤❤❤😊.
My song of the day for Brian and Cole is by Cord Lund: May You Always Have Some Cows Around.!!😊😊😊😊
All the empty nesters on the other side of the road try to tell Coles pairs not to fall for the trick.
I guess y’all answered the age old question of “Do calves sh*t in the hauler?” Yes, why yes they do 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤣
Cole and Brian. Your cattle look beautiful. I really like the way you guys work together.
Thanks so much!
Glad to hear a quote from the Bible, I found a good verse for you. Psalms 107:38 NKJV
[38] He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease.
Mount Vernon sure is a long way out in the country, even with I-90 close. Gods country.
Brian you could be in the Olympics doing the dance routine with the slappy. As you swing it behind you with such grace and ease. Lol
Love the sound effects!!!😂😂
Have you and your dad thought about expanding the pool of cattle processed through "Farmer Grade" All heifers and bulls not passing Veterinarian review for breading stock. Another Possibility would be pulling some of the backgrounding maybe not registered Angus but Angus to feeding out to add to Farmer grade? The fall born backgrounding calves selected could also add a second Farmer Grade Beef time slot.
Certainly thinking about that. It takes many months to get them to fat weight
Nice looking cows and bull calves Brian and Cole
Great video Cole and Brian
Great video and fine looking animals.
You gave me a laugh for today
Paw, should be so proud of Cole
I am!
The youngsters don't seem to upset but mommy seems like she doesn't like what's going on😅😅😅
Do you ever do TB testing on your herd?
The first time you had a tractor ceramic coated your dad was on vacation and I dont recall seeing his reaction to the results of the first time. I take it by doing a second one its either free or a quality product.
