I've noticed these kinds of things are a lot more funny when they're happening to someone else.
bearkatljl same 😂
That's truth lol 😂
True
Always!
Just an odd thing that I remembered from my childhood growing up on a large cattle ranch. My mother had a beautiful voice, and I remember her singing in what dad called a Swedish ‘Kulning,’ whatever that is, to get the cows to calmly follow her anywhere. She could move a heard from paddock to paddock like they were under a spell.

Your mum was like the pied piper of cattle lol
The universal sign of "Oh Shit": man puts hand on top of head. Works in all cultures....
Had a Holstein that was built like a Sherman tank. Got fences all set for pasture season, and the first day grass was ready, that Sherman tank squared up to a section of brand new barbed wire, and hard charged it snapping all 5 strands, and away she and the herd went...
Through the fence!
@@Daniboi971 through said fence and thankfully not into the road. Into a small area of lawn between the pasture and road. I don't know why, but the girls always seemed to like that lawn, so we made it part of the pasture. That much less mowing and they like to lay there in the early pre milking morning.
@@grandadmarshall4432 lol !!!
Funny not funny.
8:50 is what you came here for
Thank you Man 👍
LOVE WATCHING BEEF FARMING IN SOUTH DAKOTA, YOU AND YOUR DAD JUST BLEND TOGETHER SO GREAT, GOD BLESS AND WATCH OVER YOU ALL!!!!!
We have a poultry farm and also have a 'no-crazies' rule. We have about 50 roos. NONE of them are aggressive to each other, to people, hens, ext. We had three that were totally nuts. Caught them attacking a hen (killed her). They went to auction that Saturday. Had a red something or other mix that was dumped on our property. He was INSANE!! He attacked everyone! Had one of the teenage boys that worked for us shoot it because we couldn't get close enough to catch it. You can't keep animals that pose a danger to people or other animals. Period! Without the aggressive animals: our two flocks are fantastic. We merge them into one huge flock in summer for pasturing (no point in pasturing in winter) and even then the two groups of twenty-five roos don't fight! It's the hens that have it out for a few days. ;)
shut up
There's always one! If the crazy one goes, there is one ready to take her place. Pray it ain't the bull!
I enjoy watching you guys work cattle. I live in KS but i"m from Huron an grew up on a farm. Theres nothing better than spending time with you guys doing chores an etc theres just something about an old farm girl that can't get enough of the "Good" life. I miss it dearly !
This is great, I was just reading about how certain personality traits in cows can be a danger to the farmers working them, and sometimes culling them is the best way to eliminate that problem. I'm 22, and I've been wanting to start my own Farm for several years. Finally took some initiative, and I'm hoping to have my first herd in the next couple of years. Your videos are an excellent resource. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Alex!
Farming is for losers. Get a education or trade and have a small farm on the side for a few laughs.
@@andersonsroad5161 I get what you're saying. And I have both education and trade skills. They just feel like dead-ends to me personally. EMS is fun until you get shot, or hurt your back, or get a needle stick.
Welding is fun until you catch yourself on fire, or get injured in some way.
There are still those risk while farming, but I don't have to deal with as many drug addicts.
My friend had a truly crazy cow that wouldnt think twice about charging you, you are right....off to town is the only solution.
My son n I enjoy ur videos. Fun watching another South Dakota farmer. My dad farms in Parkston so not too far from ya. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Dean!
The person who lost their sole was the one that preg checked that bull you put through the chute. I doubt it was the vet. He knows better. :-))
I grew up in Colorado on a small farm, my dad had a rule with cows. If they were not dependably well mannered and safe they " found a new home". I always knew that was not exactly what happened to them. Working cows in a small spaces was common in the area and " crazy " was not something anyone wanted.
"New home" = McDonalds.
i grew up punching ppl like u
"Two Strike Man" "Shes going to town"
z just shut up
“ and the cow jumped over the moon “
The more excited you get the more excited they get.
Your body is like a huge balloon. They can feel you when your 6 to 10 feet away.. Use the force and some patience. Stay calm don't flap your arms or yell. Keep the dogs back. Move slowly pushing on them one step at a time. They'll mind. But if you do the jig they'll dance. Just like that old girl did.
Dr. Hubbert is a damn good vet, he’s our vet for our cows. Pretty damn close usually with the time they are supposed to calve!
He sure is!
Great video. The markings/patterns on their fur is fascinating. I loved the white faced ones. On cats I think they call them tuxedo patterns. Watching that cow gives me hope that I too can jump fences.
And I thought only us 150 acre, small herd, hobby farmers where the only ones with crazy cows!!
Shut them away from water over night. Open the gate to water bring a feed sack and they're caught. All but the nuts. They need to take a one way ride. They cost more than they're worth.
Better to get some $ from her than retrieving a smashed up cow from the road and pay for a neighbor's truck. Guess how I learned that one 🤨
Sweet pea. Train those old biddies to come to the sound of a grain bucket and your call. Ours come to the shaking of an empty bucket and the call of “cows, cows, cows”!!!
A lot less running
We just started hand feeding them some tasty pellets, hopefully that helps calm them down!
A few years ago, using a portable corral, had one chase me up the fence. I got over the fence, but I thought the cow was coming over the fence to get me. Scared a few minutes of life right out of me. Everybody else just laughed, not at me, but at the antics of the crazy cow.
Some of those moments are very scaring and stick with you. These critters need respect, they can cause some serious injury. Stay safe out there!
Cole, you are tied for my top 3 UA-camrs. Your videos make me miss the farm life I had as a child. Any thoughts of creating a patreon?
I haven't looked into it, but it seems like its a way youtubers beg for money and I'm not into that. I like being able to provide free entertainment for you guys!
@@SonneFarms Yes, but you deserve some pay for doing your videos. Gotta supply your cameras and editing time.
@@SonneFarms I'll agree that there are some UA-camrs who beg and come across as desperate for money but you are definitely not one of them. I usually watch about 1 minute of their videos and stop. There are others who put links to patreon in their about and video descriptions but never mention it. It's there if we want to contribute. I normally watch UA-cam with ads blocked but I will turn them on and sit through the annoying videos for more favorite channels just to help them out. If there was another way to show my support for your awesome entertainment I'd go for it instead of watching ads.
@@SonneFarms i would look into it if u have enough followers cuz i got friends that can afford to just do youtube with that its wild
Your channel is becoming more entertaining with each new video. e.g. gagging in the tractor, cow wipes her arse on your leg. can't wait for next weeks show !
Thank you!!
Cow wipes 🤣
Cows are smart. Once they learn to go over or under a gate they never forget.
Dad had to peek his head in 5:41 " what are y'all up too" hints why are y'all so close and son why do you have your hand on his leg... 🤔🤪
I grew up with dairy cows and later beef cows. I always found at least one calf I would take the time to friendly up. Later when needing to get the herd up all I had to do was take a bucket of grain and the one friendly one would come right up and follow like a dog and the rest would follow. Definitely should stood his ground with that cow and get a damn good cow dog trained to stay beside you. Makes a world of difference. That cow don’t dare challenge that dog nor get past you to jump a gate.
Please, Cole...with no disrespect intended, while I watched this video and more from other farmers and ranchers, I keep thinking to myself that three things are missing when these ranchers are dealing with herds of cattle...a good horse, a good rope, and a good cattle dog that is worth his weight in gold!! Has this old lady attended too many rodeos, or watched too many movies and television shows like, Wagon Train, Rawhide, Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and of course any movie starring John Wayne??? It seems that chasing cattle and calves around using a 4-wheeler only gets them more hyper and hard to deal with. Am I missing something here? Really and truly, I have nothing but respect for you and your family....well, maybe a little envy!!! Thanks for helping me understand.
Wouldn't it be a great world if we could use that logic in society ? Two strikes "he gone" !
Didn't realize cows could jump that high!
OMG! It looks COLD!!!
Don't pay to keep them nervous ones, working cattle is easier once they're gone
I love your total run of fear!!!! Shit I would too! That was a big cow! Bent the crap out of that metal and kept on trucking! Savage mode engaged!
"Proliferous" i love that a new word.
Actually it's not a new word:
proliferous
[prəˈlɪf(ə)rəs] (of a plant or invertebrate) propagating or multiplying by means of buds or offsets.
@@BillAndersonNS Wow, thanks for the info. Of course he was searching for "prolific", but, i did like his version better. Nice to have the correct usage though.
8:40 Never chase and corner a panicky cow. Very dangerous. My neighbor almost died last year doing that. Shattered the bones in his right ankle and 7 broken ribs. I found him up on top of the pipe fence, just hanging there waiting for somebody to drive by. He said he only survived the attack because he managed to crawl under a gate and then up on top of the pipe fence. He said the cow wouldn't let him get up. Every time he tried, the cow attacked again. He's in his mid 70's too. Poor guy. He said he was done working cattle after that, but a year later he's back at it again.
segarza I lanced an absess on a cow that my buddy was putting in the cull pen. I told him let me get the gate opened before you let her out of the chute. Needless to say he didn’t wait and one of the helpers yelled for me. I had to jump over the fence and that crazy cow followed me over another fence. I thought I was going to be a goner for sure if she got me down. She went on to be hamburger helper!
@@GS-dq7sf Yep, you got to be fast on your feet to stay alive sometimes. It doesn't take much to change the course of your life with one bad accident while working cattle. In the past, I've been stepped on, kicked, knocked to the ground by cows that snuck up from behind, nearly ko'd by an uppercut to the chin from a cow's head because dummy me reached over a hungry cow while it ate cubes from a trough. Next thing I know I get popped in the chin and blacked out for a few seconds. Luckily I didn't fall to the ground and get trampled to death by a herd of hungry cows. I got a nice Angus bull that's never shown aggression. He's just a big 2200 pound puppy. One day, I was crouched down mending a fence in the pasture. Just minding my own business. You know that gut feeling that you get sometimes when you feel like your being watched? Well, I suddenly got that feeling. So I look left and then right. Nothing, so I start working again. That feeling is still bugging me. So I look again and nothing. Something just don't feel right....so I turn to look behind me and am shocked to find this massive Ninja bull...standing about 2 feet directly behind me! He's just standing there looking down at me. I didn't hear a thing when he walked up from behind. I'm just glad he's nice! I could have found myself suddenly 15 feet up in the air flying over the fence!
Watching your older videos tonight. Dang! Glad you made it through this day! That was one nutty cow!
It's always a good sign when you're sweating in the winter!😁😁
Try a preg check on the bull and let the fun begin ............. 🤣
One thing with crazy cows is the usually are great mother's very protective and unlikely to abandon their calves.
Or their calves.....😁
@@glenncook4936 smart ass
She was a wild one
"No tag cow is kinda crazy" Yeah I wonder why she has no tag hahahaha
Great video- been there done that... kind of miss it. But I also miss being younger. For people who just buy a steak - this is just part of what raising cattle is like.
Ahahahaha she punched her ticket, she’s going to town. I’m a two strike kinda man.
Be careful, Cole, one of my old neighbours was killed by a heifer that went nuts in an alley at his feedyard in a situation just like yours. Another friend of mine was almost killed by a steer in his lot and that animal had shown no signs of being crazy before. He was just lucky he got airlifted to a trauma centre in time or he'd have been dead too. He spent months in hospital as it was. :(
That's so sad!
Can't even believe that cow jumped that gate!
I was a one-person operation and so I had to use cake to move my cattle. You learn to put just a little bit in the bucket so you can shake the bucket and make a rattle sound and then you don't ever give it to him until you get them to where you want
When you heard you can jump over the moon🤣🤣💥👍
Feed them from a plastic sack. Then all you need is an empty bag! They'll follow you miles, that's all we do
Great video
Glad to see y’all got moisture!
I love your work and I want to be a farmer and work cattle just like you. My family actually farms and I help a lot
I train horses on the side, maybe we should cross her with a Holsteiner horse and get us some jumpers, way more money in a big horse than in a beef cow
Way more work and time to breed and train a good horse too. Butcher a steer at 10 to 12 months. A horse cant take real hard work until its 5 years old.
i used to manufacture gates , so this vid made me smile
i guess cows can jump over the moon lol
“cmon is this basketball practice” 😂
Hard work, rewarding work. Thanks for sharing.
Cows are like people, there’s an odd crazy one.
There is far less crazy cows than there are humans. And...cows are smarter than plenty of humans.
Nick Gunn Why?
Second cow is like, nope that’s crazy I’m not jumping that!
Thought she was super man or something. Turns out she was dinner waiting to happen. Second cow thought about it then said f that I'm not gonna be someone's dinner. Lol
When you’re trying to catch calves they always seem to follow the crazy cow!🤬
Man she was a jumper thanks for the update
"I'm sweatin' in the winter." Winter sweat stinks worse, too, for some reason. Hate when I sweat when I'm all wrapped up in winter gear.
Yep ! Like having onions in both shirt pockets. BARF !
Great video! Hate it when cows just go as some might say full stupid. You did a great job showing preg checking as most people don’t show it on their farm!
I love your videos and I have a very similar farm to you but in the uk 🇬🇧
Thank you! Good to hear
Your family has some nice cattle except for the 2 bad ones but that's how it goes sometimes. How many head does your family have ? We have about 185 head but the count keeps going up due to it being calving season for my family we sell our calves to the many Amish around our area they finish them and have a processing shop . Having cattle is hard work but if you're like me you probably have more good days than bad. I farm full time and am a electrician so at my electrician job if I have a bad day I come home and tend to my cattle or crops and it's relaxing . Stay safe and productive and farm on my friend !
Wow what a bunch of work
That's why I get my beef at the grocery store.
I didnt no cows could jump that high! Wow lol. Thanks for showing us 😁 hope things are going smoothly on the farms. 🐂🐃
..."and the cow jumped over the moon"...😁
I love the saying “she just punched her ticket” going to town
I love watching ur videos i use to work cows an people think farming an working wit cattle is easy work
Wife: You watching cow videos? Yep You gonna get some cows? Young man running everywhere out of breath, cow goes flying by literally. Nope
Hahaha
I feel your pain man. Been there, done that.
I love beef, milk, and leather so you guys are hero's to me. ;-)
Gotta get rid of those crazy cows! Her calves are likely to be just as crazy. Plus they can get the whole herd stirred up. I’ve had my share of dealings with crazy cows in my days.
Thank you for this video. I had a cat once that ran into me. I didn't realize she had just so I'm guessing she was just being protective but when she ran into me I went ahead and culled her. Always felt bad because I thought maybe I was too young of a rancher to realize she was just being protective but after this video I'm thinking I did the right thing
Good looking bulls!
Dogs and horses are a must when working cows. That along with patients and some really colorful language.
Hahaha, I do wish sometimes we had good trained horses and dogs. Sure could make things go a lot better!
Richard McElligott dogs, horses, & colorful language no... patience YES!
Watch "low stress cattle handling using a bud box with some freshly weaned calves" on UA-cam
ua-cam.com/video/CxJfkU6quF0/v-deo.html
I was out at a ranch in Northern California years ago and the rancher had a aggressive heifer. She punched her ticket for the same reason. The rancher just would not risk an injury by keeping a wild cow around.
Awesome opening NAILED IT MAN
Thanks!
Everytime I watch your videos, I want a steak for some strange reason...
Last crazy cow I remember dealing with didn't go to town we had the butcher come and it was delicious
Great thumbnail!
Thank you!
Dam that red one cleared that fence, crazy, glad u didnt get run over, I love the videos
good call on that whacky one, all you need is someone getting injured or killed and it will haunt you for the rest of your life. I've found a nice whack with a galvanized bucket usually straightens them out after a few shots. just sayin. :)
There are too many good cows around to have to keep a crazy one. One that will destroy property or hurt someone. Slaughter house she goes. Good choice.
Beef gotta come from somewhere so just take the "volunteers" first.
I noticed your chute system is a Titan West from Linn, Kansas. That is very ironic because they are made a block from my house and I have friends and family that work there. I knew they had customers up north but wow that’s a long ways up there. If you ever want a tour of the factory, let me know. I have connections😉😉
Very cool!
Kyle Richardson small world! Can you share this video with them?
Tami Sonne I sure will!!
Like how you cull.
Gotta love those Powder River Gates!
Crazy cow gate jumper! watching from rural Tracy, Minnesota !
a flying cow 🤣
Great vid keep on keeping on man absolutely love your vids. I hual cattle for a living and love it!
Nice!
Who cleans the poopy trailer?
BW YinYang myself or a truck wash just depends!
We had a longhorn cow that broke two of our corral panels. The gates were connected at a 90 degree angle that’s why they both fell and broke and we were trying to was pour her and tag her calf. Worst part was is that the gates also fell on me and I am not that big of girl. After that incident she left the place. Then my dad bought two bulls, within 30 minutes of getting off the trailer they bent to pieces two of our swinging gates. My dad was just about ready to load them onto the trailer after that incident but we thought they deserved a second chance. So far they have done really well. One of our nicest bulls we have had.
I was sorting 100 cow calf pairs yesterday, and I had a crazy one jump and cave in not one, but two cattle panels. Both times there was an open gate feet away.
I encountered a few of those wild ones back when and I always called them Freezer Beef cause that's where they ended up. As soon as I could catch them. Cheers...
When that guy put his whole arm in that cows Back-Hole, Well lets just say that was.........a little disturbing. That’s one of the few consequences of being one of the best...A farmer/rancher.
Hahaha. That's awesome. We had a heifer that crawled up on the one in front of her in the chute. We then had to let them both out. She went to town. Did about the same thing there. Feel sorry for the guy that bought her.
Been there done that.What really sucks is when they take the 5 inch post out with the fence and gate. Not to mention the new treated post rot out in half the time as they used to.
One of the best ones yet... she's going to town...coz she had two strikes and I'm a two strikes man...
I’ve had them like that and worse I’ve had them where they just plow through everything fence gates and all sounds bad but sometimes you’d like to have a magic glass that could pop up where every you wanted it so they could bounce right off if it so you could be like haha stupid
New to Your channel. Great video! Always fun watching other peoples crazy cows. At times we have heifers jumping gates when trying to bring them in for milking.
Glad you enjoyed!
