Running the Farm On My Own

- My dad took off for a couple days so the farm is in my hands. I start out with feeding the cows, heifer pairs, bulls, and replacement heifers. After that I take a tour of a few different places we have pairs at to make sure everything is in and fed well. I weld up a new drag for the yard and finish the day with checking the cows at home to make sure nothing is having a hard time calving.
Cole, I really enjoy your videos, thanks for posting them. I grew up on a farm and know that there is always something that needs to be done. Looks like that new drag is going to do the job. Your dad is very fortunate to have you helping him.
Thanks for watching!
A friend of mine sent me a few videos of Sorghum chopping as i was unfamiliar with it. Yours was one. After watching it I was curious so started watching from the start. Tossed a sub your way now and will be binging through all the vids now over next month or so. I realize these ones are early day so not quite as polished yet but I still enjoy how you show various operations on your farm and not just the "best stuff" like some YTers do. 👍
Well done cole your dad must be proud. Of you
Cole Sending you love and peace joy and light ✨🙏🤝✨💗💗✨🤳💌💞💞
Awesome video. I love your compassion for the critters
Great video! Looks like y’all are plenty mucky yet. Keep powering through. I’m sure you’re busy, but I think we’d all appreciate more videos of your operation, so keep em coming!
Will do! I plan on doing 1-2 videos/week this summer.
Sonne Farms looking forward to it! Are you in school?
@@tylereldridge6945 Yes, I just finished my 3rd year at South Dakota State University. One more year and Ill be back to the farm for good!
That is a nice operation you have, just makes me feel good and home sick at the same time.
No cows no acreage no planting...LOL. just love watching farm life!:)
Oh and your eyes are gorgeous👀
You are the best vlogger I ever seen
Thank you so much!
Man I really enjoy your videos! I don't have any cows and I don't have any Acres the plant. I have one orange tree in one lemon tree. Thanks again Cole. Israel
We are in South West Missouri and have about 400 acres of soy beans that we got done planting at about 11:00 last night.
I wish I lived a little closer I'll come over and help you
The drag looks good!

Good job - very trustworthy!!!
The drone shots are extremely good,keep up the good work

@@SonneFarms did u see my other comment about the phone holder
I just watched the latest video, (with the wild storms!), then cane to check out those one. And noticed you're almost at 200K subscribers, you've come quite a ways. Well done Sonne Frames! 😁🙏💙🦘
What is meant by your use of the word "pairs" talking about cattle...also the meaning of "pours" when treating for flies. Great videos keep it up!
A "pair" is just a term meaning a mom and her calf, together they make a pair
You came a long ways pilgrim
haha thanks
Yooo this Is great stuff👍🏽
I’m liking all your videos so far: Cole 🤠
We are in northwest iowa, we got all our acres planted and we have 200 head of cattle started calving in February and finished and finished mid April
Good job. God bless....
Just one man and his sixteen tractors.
We have 14 left to calve. Hopefully our pastures green up here in the prairies as we are running low on hay and no green pastures yet! 😱
Not enough sunlight for the grass?
Not enough moisture. Haven’t had a decent rain here yet! Keeping my 🤞 instead of expanding our herd we might be decreasing our herd
Very nice Black Angus to me they are the best.
Us to, it is an amazing breed
I can't believe how wet you people are all the time . I live on a farm in Central Ontario and we actually dry out for part of the year .Almost 8 months winter but then it gets nice. Summers can actually be hot for a bit , maybe two weeks max and then the fall starts and it can be nice
Good video 🤠👍😊
That is pretty much my life story about that time of year
Have 3 more to calf have 82 in. Nothing planted here in NC Iowa. I use a old hog deck to level the yard. See your cows like to throw there feed out too.
Hopefully we get a few weeks of sunshine!
Nice video like looks of cattle.
Thank you very much!
😁No cows, no acres, no farm😁
Wow, you really do have to be able to think outside of the box to fix problems when you are a farmer / be able to use the supplies you have available. No Amazon prime delivery!
what about the fence repairs?
interesting feeder cart how many cubic feet is it and how does it handle dry hay if you put that in
We always put dry hay in every day. As long as you don't put too much in a one time it works well.
Anyone know what name brand & size utv that is at the 5:58 min mark?
Honda Foreman
@@SonneFarms Im taking about the side by side with enclosed can. It's black or dark camo colored.
Mixing feed did that a lot

Hey Cheif, what make and model is that mixer wagon?

Why so much land with such little livestock? Is it poor land?
@@conjoe176 because my farm is old and there isnt more spece for animals
@@conjoe176 and land is good my family gets 8 t/ha of whet
Oh ok, it's alot of tillage.
Goggles can't buy new eyes! !,
i liked when it played demons by imigine dragon
you need a couple of goats to eat up all the weeds and spilled foods that attract the rats.
On our farm, the deer pretty much cleaned up the spilled foods. In the winter time, the deer would shelter down in the big grove of trees on the property, so we'd purposely spill some oats and barley on the ground for the deer to eat, since all the green grass they love to eat was under all the snow. We didn't permit hunting on our property, as we also had a pasture with most of my dad's cousin's cows in it, so the deer were pretty safe as long as they were inside our property line. Some deer hunters can get pretty careless, especially if they've been drinking, and start shooting at cows.
How many tractor you have at the farm ?
I plan on doing a machinery tour in the next couple of weeks
I have No cows to calve. And for the record, my wife doesn't like when I refer to her as one. She identifies as a woman lol
Does Jeff run basically the same feed mix at his pens as You and Brian do?
20 cows to calve and 2000 acres left with rain on the way
Its just starting to sprinkle here right now.
Wash your John Deeres
Justus L what's the point in washing them when their just going to get dirty again? Makes no sense
