    As always you knock it out of the park with excellent quality on your videography & editing, but even more so on how, as a family, you share the work and get it done, ALWAYS looking out for the best interest in the animals in the process! I do pray the mystery of the leaking toilet has been resolved on your bath remodel. Does sound like the bowl is defective from comments read, which does not surprise me. (Every job has its challenges, even making toilet bowls has an art to it & one small mistake can cause the issues you have been facing. Better to change it out now, making sure it comes from a different production line & date, give it a try.) God bless all your family!🇺🇸🙏

    Way to hustle Cole! You guys got the major work done before the worst heat came by. SMART!! At that temperature the heat just seems to come up out of the ground and hit you in the face.. I used to love driving the roads around Ellsworth and north and east of there. Most of all any were in the Black Hills. Rather EVERYwhere, in the Black Hills. That wide aerial video was super Cole. It showed the magnitude of the field real well. AND it really emphasized the patter of cutting. I also like seeing the different camera angles ON the machine. It is interesting. Thanks again for another great documentary. STAY safe. That heat will kill you if it gets the chance!!

I get it, but you are to precious to your family and everyone else to have an accident! Great looking stylish bull calves. Great to have an excellent fly control system, and the very handy adjustable wagon hitch. Sorry if I missed it, but what is the story on Ellie's puppies? Also, great to hear you are taking the middleman out of your lively hood. "Angus Beef by Sonne"! Almost forgot to tell you how delightful it is to see your beautiful governor speaking at the rally last night! Prayers for your continued success!

    I just watched a short about an organic dairy farm and they're not allowed to used fly spray like you guys do, so what they do is run all their cattle single file under a fly vacuum. It sucks all the flies from the top and both sides. They run them through 2x per day. The video said it's not as good as chemicals but it does give them some relief. Interesting.
