    Bull day coming up! Woooooooooohooooooo!
    Happy you had a good day at the sale. Some fortunate people will get top quality Sonne beevos. Great for them! Thanks for raising cattle to feed us all. Thanks for sharing!

    Neighbor Ned had the EXACT same problem with that incessant beeping when he was planting. Everytime he pulled out of his driveway the beeping started and wouldn't stop. We ran a diagnostic on the monitor with no luck. We checked all the wiring on the tractor with no luck. Finally, we realized it was his ankle monitor from the probation office so we just cut it off and tossed it onto a passing beer truck. Problem solved.

    Thanks for another great video Cole. It was interesting and enjoyable as all are.
    Go get that raccoon. They really chew on wires. Hard on equipment. Hopefully your trap is going to get it.
    Beautiful pot belly trucks that hauled your cattle to the market. These trailers now days are something else. That one had triple axles.
    Your new loading equipment is working great for you.
    You and dad had them loaded fairly quickly.
    Glad your sale went good and your return was what you needed it to be. The cattle looked real good. People know the Sonne name when buying.
    What is this you being gone for a week to a party????? Surely you joke. Planting season is just around the corner.
    That alert signal you hear might be your tractor computer not hooking up with the planter soft ware. Just a suggestion.
    As much as I hate to mention this, hopefully that raccoon did not chew on the tractor or planter wires.
    Thanks Brian for the song of the day. Loved your story about roller skating and the song. In high school we spent a lot of time at the roller skating. Was good fun as you said Brian.
    Thinking of you both for the bull sale day. I know with your good teamwork it will go fine. I think it Is great that you have so many return buyers. Speaks well for the fine herdsmen you both are. I know I would not hesitate buying from you. Am sure a lot of your buyers watch your channel. They know what they are getting.
    Busy time soon. Lot of work getting machines hooked up to the right tractors and such. Good job Cole on getting that project done. You are good with machinery.
    About it for now I guess. You both take care and be safe.
    Looking forward to the next video.
    Thanks for everything Cole. Appreciate your filming and editing.

    Bull day?? That's a lot of bull!! Guys just can't get a break any more!! It almost seems that farming is preparing for a disaster, working through the disaster, and cleaning up AFTER the disaster to prepare for the next disaster!!. There are SO many things that figure into the size and complexity of each disaster I do not see how you people do it. Especially, again and again, and again. You are a special breed of people and I think God you are!! Brian's song of the day for this would have to be "No one does it better!!? Thanks for letting me go along with you all.

    I had to help clean up the mess after one of those semi trucks loaded with cattle rolled over on a curve in Wickliffe, KY back in the 80s. The curve was at the bottom of a long steep hill. The driver probably got going too fast down the hill and the cattle shifted while going around the curve. They eventually took that curve out of the road and reduced the steep slope of the hill. I’ve never seen so many beaten up and dead cows in my life. We moved the dead cattle to a near by truck stop where we piled them up and the few that were still alive to a auction barn in the next county.

    Have faith Cole! One morning you're going to wake up and find Lake Sonne, bursting at it seams, in it's rightful place directly in the center of your driveway. LOL. I've heard rumblings that a famous French conglomerate has discussed plans of building a Riviera style resort on the Eastern beaches of Lake Sonne... So, I suppose that you've got that to look forward to as wel 🤷‍♂️😂l. I'm sure that you'll get a cut of the profits also. So hey! The future is looking awfully bright if I do say so myself.
    Ok, back to reality, I did hear there was a blizzardy type situation happening in parts of the Dakotas and I was praying and hoping that you guys were partaking in that fantastic weather... but something tells me that it did not happen, unfortunately. I feel like eventually you guys are going to finally get your fair share of moisture. It's just not right if you don't. I suppose that in a worst case scenario, you can get all of your subscribers to line up with some buckets and we'll empty a lake or river, right onto your fields... I feel like that's more likely to happen at this point than getting some actual rain out there. Lol.

    After watching your channel for a relatively short period of time, I realized that yours was going to be my favorite. I felt disloyal to my other farming/ranching/dairy farming channels that I had been watching for a much longer period of time...crazy right? But there ya go.... Anyway the reasons I absolutely love your channel is because of the great and fun relationship you have with your dad (who rocks! His music knowledge is incredible!), your unique and very fun sense of humor; talking to your animals, off the cuff remarks, your white board with the very interesting lists, and the list goes on!! And the the reasons I don’t like your channel is....ok give me a minute.....ok I’m sure I’ll think of something, I mean after all nothing’s perfect....ok it’ll come to me in a minute...still pondering...this might take a minute....be patient, I’m sure it’ll come to me...ok, obviously this might take awhile....let me get back to you on this.....!!!

    Thanks for the video, hope that alarm beeper doesn't pop up later and turn out to be an issue. And if you want to catch that coon, use pieces of hot dog for bait, they can't leave that bait alone. They have something called dog proof traps that are also very effective for live trap smartened up coons, I've used both and you could release alive from both. But they also raid ground nesting birds nests, in case you know anyone who hunts pheasant in your area.

      The question is how long will a full tank last on one of those mama jamas.. a few days, a few weeks. Depending on use of course.

      @@sarahkingston7421 PTO rpm's on a 4020, 100 hp PTO, uses about 5 to 6 gal per hr baling hay, so 174 gallons = close to 30 hrs full tilt.

    Great video. I remember working on the farm, it was so exciting to get a big check, then you pay all the bills, and poof it's all gone.
