Many thanks! You boys work hard feeding America! Somebody could make a fortune if they could build you an all-in-one scraper-loader-spreader that would work all in one step.
Obviously 'Dust in The Wind' by Kansas is the song of the day. Good song by the way! (Am I starting to sound like Brian? That's okay because he is a standup good guy and he's rubbing off on me! Actually, he seems more like a brother to me then my own) I knew about a week and a half ago manure spreading started in my area ahead of schedule. If that spreader has the pattern width and capacity, it says to have, it sounds like a time saver! I would like to see it on the wet spring stuff before holding court though, likely do as good or better though.
I almost asked if you guys would be showing what they would look like after the calves were born. glad you kept a couple! Way to go guys congrats on the new spreader too
Cole my neat n tidy OCD very much appreciates the new manure spreader. 😅👍 The wedding is coming up fast Cole so before the days get crazy busy I just wanted to wish you n Miss Tiff an amazing day. May all your hopes & dreams become reality - and with your work ethic n commitment I'm sure they will. Congratulations to the next Mr & Mrs Sonne Frames! 😊🙏💙🦘
Awesome video I'm watching this backwards do to the UA-cam algorithm I already saw the Herefords delivered to there new home lol and there new you tube channel I was wondering when you were going to post it .. watching the new spreader work was way cool to ..
If I may ask where did the Red beauties go men,just curious how far they might have gone? That spreader will sure beat up the corn stalks bedding. Thanks men !
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Keeping two Hereford for your herd. Good idea. Seems the way you both talk you have been happy with the Herefords. Trust you did well on them. Nice you kept two. Like that new manure spreader. Big capacity. Too bad it was so windy. Hard to tell how it works. Looks like a nice rig. Hope you get good use out of it. Windy time of the year. You were very windy during this filming. Wow. Getting close to wedding time. Looking forward to some videos. Thanks. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Cole. The Iowa farm boy.
I just knew Brian was going to take a liking to those red and white girls. They were a great looking bunch. I was thinking at the beginning of the vidya of commenting how Brian should'a kept his favorite. LOL. That spreader looks like a dandy. Only because I have been shopping for a used spreader myself. I am going the side discharge Kuhn Knight box route. I have some experience with those, and as long as you keep the rocks and logs out of them, they are relatively reliable. Cheers Gents.
Weird Eric, Song of the Day, from ZZ Top, She's Got Legs: "We've got pooh ... and we know how to spread it. We've got poo, ooh, ooh ooh ... beatin' it vertical." Or maybe adapt Bob Dylan's "Blowin in the wind"
Hope you made good money on the Herfords. I think you’re going to really like the new spreader! Need to put some grease on those gate hinges! The sound is going to stress your animals.
Cole, you need to drag that pair of jeans your wearing through the feed lot to make them look they were found in an abandoned mine. Then auction them off to help pay for the new spreader. Looks as dry there as it is in western Wisconsin.
I almost asked if you guys would be showing what they would look like after the calves were born. glad you kept a couple! Way to go guys congrats on the new spreader too
10th Generation Dairyman in PA has a spreader like this. With wetter manure, it does do a better job of spreading, with the wind and your current dry conditions, doesn't work that well. I am amazed at the uniformity and width of the spreading.
We used to pile the manure in the corner of the field for a year and let get wet and for the worms to set up home in it . Worms good for aeration and wet manure better spread 🤗.
Brian & Cole, why not run Hereford cattle (Heifers and Bulls) along side you Black Angus? If you do you will have the best of both markets. We successfully ran both breeds.
Well, that was a lot of wind, good that you did stop, but I guess the neighbors wouldn't have minded! The Herefords looked good, hope you got a good price for them. Thanks for sharing, have a nice week.
When I had my ranch I had Hereford cows bread to angus bulls for black baldies. That heard your dad sold. That would have been an unbelievable purchase. Think about it they are all bred Hereford heifers bread to a Sunne Angus bull. And you probably could use Sunne Angus bulls for ten more years with those cows. Talk about an awesome start. I'm drooling in my dreams. Because I no longer have a ranch and I don't have that kind of money.
It’s great to get a new Turd hearse, but I hate chain feed in the bottom. All you have to have is one brake and be forced to fork it out by hand and you will get rid of it and get a hydraulic push spreader. Done my share of fixing as I’m the same age as Brian.
That manure spreader is huge. We cleaned our corrals and pens last week and the first day was windy just like you guys . New holland makes some good spreaders. We could use a bit more capacity on our 165. Do you guys incorporate the manure in or it just spread.
No would you rather.....they be busy ladies and gentleman. Just saw a video on YT of the guy who bought the Herferds and him unloading them. At his farm....glad Brian is past his midlife crisis Cole. Haha jk
@@briansonne814 I'm not asking for numbers, but overall how did bringing on those heifers work out as an investment for your farm? Did they bring what you expected? A project worth repeating? Also, for the one's that weren't bred do you hold those back and beef them out or the buyer takes the entire group?
@@cindyn7512 Hi Cindy. Good questions. It worked well due to the fact that we sold them into a stronger cattle market than when we bought them. They brought what i was hoping for and yes I would do it again. However getting them bought for what I paid this year will be difficult. I sold the open one at the local barn.
Man. 3 years ago I planted my wheat in September.. perfect. Last year. October 1st. Eh okay. This year. I finally got 1 inch rain. The last rain I got was in May... so I just planted yesterday and I'm hoping I get a good germinate
Thats cool i was wanting to see what those claves would look like. You got to watch out for that poop in the eye hole, you could get a crappy infection.
Cole I am not a farmer so this is not advice more a question. It seemed like it was very windy and the manure was very dry. Would it pay to soak the manure with water before you spread it?
Nice looking cattle. I hope you make some money off them--sadly, you won't be making it off of me. We've cut back even on ground beef these days. It's all chicken backs, horse hocks, and rutabagas.
Would it be beneficial to lightly hose down the pen before scraping/cleaning to keep so much poo dust down... also for spreading? Also, what is the most satisfying critter/field job on the farm? I imagine that freshly cleaned pen ought to give you some satisfaction! Like a freshly mowed lawn. 🙂
Cole watch 10th Generation Dairyman and also, Satchdutchkid they both have vertical manure spreaders they use. Maybe that would help with figuring it out.
Could you possibly use the wind to your advantage. Start from the farthest end and let the wind spread on the field as well as the spreader doing its job. It's an idea. Have a great week.
brian nice to see a good cattle man can find good cattle no matter the color of their hide by the way you were suppose to give them to Cole for a wedding present ha ha
Many years ago my uncle was spreading manure in a dry field while throwing firecrackers from the tractor, as one does. He started a grassfire but put it out by spreading wet manure over it. Always a lot of fun and adventure to be had down on the farm. There was also the story of the exploding 55 gallon drum of manure... quite a rich scene at the emergency room. Why yes, I am a white man, why do you ask?
Somebody wasn't counting head of cattle. Brian's song of the day should have been “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas.
Many thanks! You boys work hard feeding America! Somebody could make a fortune if they could build you an all-in-one scraper-loader-spreader that would work all in one step.
I agree that it would have been nice to see the Herford/Angus babies
we kept two
@@briansonne814 That was a nice group, I was sad to see most of them go.
@@cindyn7512 It was my intention all along to breed them and sell them as bred. Im glad you like them!
I am coughing and wheezing just watching you load and spread that super dry manure.
A new manure spreader, just in time for election season! Perfect timing.
Now that's both funny and true
Shoulda been here 2 months ago.
@@blister762 all I know is here in pa the "adds' are to much and a waste of money better spent. Most of them talk "crap" anyhow😉
Not very many liberal socialists in South Dakota.
👍🤣😂
Thanks for sharing your vid’s with us!
heh Cole my mom complaining about the dust in wichita kansas because her laundry was hanging. She says her laundry smells like cow sh.t
Congrats on getting the cows sold glad u kept 2 I really enjoy seeing them also sweet demo spreader
Cole smelling his fingers at the 9:31 point after spreading poo. That's UA-cam Gold.
I love new farm equipment, sling it guys 😁

That's providing Spring actually gets some rainfall next year. Where I am is nearly -10 inches for 2022.
After the day I’ve had….it was rewarding to see sh*t flying some other way! Greetings from West Oz.
Seems like the last time you hauled manure it was soup and now it it dust
Gotta Love Farmin
Great job scraping Cole
Yessss! I was so happy to see you guys saved a couple Herfords at the end of the video, the calves are so darn cute!
Yes the calves are adorable.
They will be a cross between Hereford & Black Angus.
OMG, put some grease on those gate hinges. The sound was like fingernails scrapping a blackboard.
I almost asked if you guys would be showing what they would look like after the calves were born. glad you kept a couple! Way to go guys congrats on the new spreader too
GOOD THING that camera don't have SMELL A VISION on that manure spreader lol
It will be nice to see how calves come out from the herfords.
Im excited!
@@SonneFarms I was hoping you would keep at least one👍👍✌️
hopefully feet first. peace

If I may ask where did the Red beauties go men,just curious how far they might have gone? That spreader will sure beat up the corn stalks bedding. Thanks men !
Poop in the eye hole. That is a new version of giving someone the "stink eye".
What a great response. 🙂
Ed from Chicago 🙂
Great job keep up the good work I’m glad to see them Hartford is there
Thanks for another great video.

What he said
Nice timing on buying and breeding the hereford heifers. Does Brian have a crystal ball
That is an amazing spreader! Thanks for another great video!

Bye my beautiful Herefords. I hardly knew ya. 😢😢
Hope you made good money on the Herfords. I think you’re going to really like the new spreader! Need to put some grease on those gate hinges! The sound is going to stress your animals.
Sure could use a load of those political promises on my garden.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!!
Cole, you need to drag that pair of jeans your wearing through the feed lot to make them look they were found in an abandoned mine. Then auction them off to help pay for the new spreader. Looks as dry there as it is in western Wisconsin.
Great investment idea on your Hereford’s. Hope you received a great return ❤
I almost asked if you guys would be showing what they would look like after the calves were born. glad you kept a couple! Way to go guys congrats on the new spreader too
Your neighbors are probably thanking you for fertiling their lawns. 😆
I should probably send a bill

Primo Herefords! Those were nice. 👍🏻
Plus the two hiding! 😊👍🏻
Does Brian remember the old Hawk Built spreaders made in Iowa, company Moto was “spread your next load on us”😂😂😂
i dont!
Another great video. Thanks.
So today's song of the day is blowing in the wind.
I definitely appreciate the work you do, Thank You!
I appreciate that!
Brian & Cole, why not run Hereford cattle (Heifers and Bulls) along side you Black Angus? If you do you will have the best of both markets. We successfully ran both breeds.
I dont have the grass for more. I dont want to cut back on my angus.
Well, that was a lot of wind, good that you did stop, but I guess the neighbors wouldn't have minded! The Herefords looked good, hope you got a good price for them. Thanks for sharing, have a nice week.
Sad to see the main group of Hereford's go, I was excited to see the Baldies being born.
Hi col could you spray water on the dry matter in the spreader then spread it and it wouldn't blow away
Ashlyn from Rohrer Dairy Productions uses a vertical spreader as does Jan from SaskDutch Kid. They look like they do a better job of slinging poo.
A comment on how the Hereford experiment went would be helpful.
Nice looking Hereford heifers Brian and Cole
Thank you Sonne farms!!
I've had a vertical spreader for years...you'll love it..works great on pen pack
Those Heffords seem to move a lot faster than the Angus
You guys have very nice looking cows.
It's weird hearing you say Herefords, in the UK we spell it the same but pronounce it Herrafords ☺️☺️
In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire hurricanes hardly ever happen. Herefords remind me of the movie "The Rare Breed".🤠
@@kelvinstewart9437 it's good I live in Hampshire 🤣🤣🤣
Holey shirt. So admire your folks respect (you still have all your appendages) for some of the most crazy dangerous equipment I've ever seen.
When I had my ranch I had Hereford cows bread to angus bulls for black baldies. That heard your dad sold. That would have been an unbelievable purchase.

As said before Cole is the king of flinging crap
Thanks for the video, Cole. It was nice "shooting the shit" with you.
I got to see the video your customer made when he received the Herefords from you. Very positive reaction from him. The cattle looked great, too.
vertical or horizontal , no matter how you look at it , its still poo
It "was" a pretty new and shiney spreader! LOL!!
Brian did you do well on the Hereford hefers ? Nice spreader what tractor is on it does it need a lot of horse power to run it
for this size spreader the manufacturer only recommends 150 horse
I was very pleased with the results.
You and the pooh spreaders, makes me sad to only have 0ne dog and one cat. No real need for a pooh spreader in the city.
Looks like the spreader is going to be nice. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing it in action again. Thanks for sharing.
I hope the storm or heavy winds passed without to much damage. I have to say, your lady is got a hardworking fella.
Mighty fine steaks!!
it's so windy I'm purdy sure some of that poo flew down here to Texas
Nice to see that spreader out working I brought ya. Such a shame it was so windy. I have faith you'll like it.
Have a nice day!
It’s great to get a new Turd hearse, but I hate chain feed in the bottom. All you have to have is one brake and be forced to fork it out by hand and you will get rid of it and get a hydraulic push spreader. Done my share of fixing as I’m the same age as Brian.
From what I've seen on another channel I think you will love the new spreader. Man I hope yall get some moisture soon!

So a good rather would I for brain? Take a dart to the thigh or wear coles clothes for a week(and be on camera)
No would you rather.....they be busy ladies and gentleman.

you remember!
0:00 to 0:04
That sequence need to be complements with a squeaky windmill ...
Good enough for a haunted house or corn maze sound system!
Could you explain a little about why the Herferds are gone? I was under the impression you were going to breed them but I may have missed something.
we did breed them. but we did not intend to calve them
@@briansonne814 right, now I remember you saying that, my bad!

If u put dryer sheets it keep the mice and rats away

You happy w Herford’s growth
Can you control the drag floor speed on the spreader to control the application rate?
Yes sir! There is a valve on the hydraulic block on the front of the machine, or you can just dial back the flow rate from the tractor.
They were good looking Herefords.
Would it be beneficial to lightly hose down the pen before scraping/cleaning to keep so much poo dust down... also for spreading? Also, what is the most satisfying critter/field job on the farm? I imagine that freshly cleaned pen ought to give you some satisfaction! Like a freshly mowed lawn. 🙂
Upgrades for the Sonne Farms Poo Flinging Crew!
Cole watch 10th Generation Dairyman and also, Satchdutchkid they both have vertical manure spreaders they use. Maybe that would help with figuring it out.
Spreading Manure was always my least favorite job on the farm, I sympathize with you....
Did you also Racoon proof the combine before it is put away for the winter? Don't want what happen last year to repeat itself.
I’d surround it with traps, bars of Irish Spring Soap, moth balls and dryer sheets everywhere. And make sure every kernel of corn is gone
Great video Cole and Brian

A lot of comments on the Herefords. My question is what's with Farmall in the yard?
stay tuned

Hi friends cool machine have a day love from TEXAS
Nice looking manure spreader Brian and Cole
Why did the herefords go bye bye? I thought you were going to diversify. Great video Cole.
He bought them to cross with Angus and sell.as pregnant heifers.
