For city folks like me, all I see is the nicely wrapped beef at the supermarket. The beef has to get there somehow. It's your ranch and you are following accepted practices. You help feed the country. We need farmers and ranchers. God bless you and your work.
I’m a cattle farmer in western Canada. Those ppl that have a problem with dehorning a critter probably haven’t been run down and rooted up by a mad momma. Lol
As a trucker I’ve seen some pretty gruesome messes in cattle trailers because of horns, yes good rancher keeps horns off. You are very responsible and responsible ranchers .love your videos God Bless You.
For the millions of people who have never been around livestock some practices may seem harsh. Raising any type of market livestock is not a petting zoo. You have to be tough enough to do what has to be done and protect your investment. Most animals can endure procedures and recover quickly.
I’m surprised your brother didn’t stay to work the farm with your Dad. Glad to see you helping him. Thank you Cole...I know he appreciates what you do.
I really enjoy the reality you bring to the real work that goes into farming. I think it’s sad you have to take so much time to explain yourselves about your farming practices but I do appreciate you being ambassadors of agriculture. You guys are awesome. As a farm boy I can relate to everything that you do and even code words like “chore clothes”. I can appreciate the prom story as I’ve had plenty of times my dad would look at me from coming home and tell me to get my chore clothes on. No other words had to be spoken as long as I got those clothes on as quick as I could and busted tail all day long.
As a Veterinarian I congratulate you and your father for such ease an gentle Cattle management. • Horns are skin appendix that grow in most bovine breeds, they are useful to defend themselves their grounds or even aggressors, or fight for the right to breed... also group social ranking. • bovines are gregarious animals & have social rank,,, this traduces into bunts and constant taunting... some times blunt trauma and even serious e gorging causing bruises and lesions... • No heat Exchange in apofisis corneum sinus... great job, keep it up. Dr. Víctor Visconti, DVM | BTW your father very sarcastic... great attitude
Ahhh, I breed Spanish Fighting bulls in Venezuela and we valor pointed horns,,, and yearly we loose 5 to 10 bulls in group fights... now we are using acrylic dressings to protect horn tip and avoid lesions...
Thank you for your honest content. Dehorning is never pleasant but you guys were fast, cattle are secure and almost no blood. Also I noticed cattle weren't shaking there heads afterwards. Best wishes for a moist new year.
All you ranchers and farmers who post videos are doing us a great service; you are teaching us where our food comes from, what it takes to produce it, and the hard work involved. It is so easy for people to gripe about what they think is right and wrong with what you do and just get on a keyboard and gripe away. You remove the horns and people gripe; you leave them on and people gripe. I have an idea; just remove one horn and shut everybody up. Keep up the good work. I love your videos and always look forward to the next one.
Hey juantrans I'm from the city we dehorn in the city to. We do it to guys like You who complain about CITY people!! I leave that type of stuff to the farmers who are very much under paid and very much over worked!! I'm a retired carpenter and my body is beat up, I can imagine how you farmers feel. I live upstate N. Y. Now and all around me are dairy and produce farms. I see farmers in their 70s and 80s still doing it like they are 17!! Thanks for the invite guys.
You're the experts. Not here to judge. Love the way you teach us how the farm really works. And I love your channel. Huge RESPECT. Happy New Year to ALL
Dehorning is not done for diarrhea and giggles...It is necessary to keep human and bovine healthy! I wonder where they find the extraneous matter regarding livestock? Keep up the good work and God Bless Y'all!
Thank you for explaining your livestock raising practices. I've grown up around farming, mostly agriculture, and I still am amazed how far farming has come in the last 50 years. Technology has solved countless issues I never knew we had to deal with.
I use to help dehorn cattle when I was a kid in the late 70's. We did it then for the same reason you're doing it now. It just keeps all the cows safer. Thanks for the great videos!!
I’ve had my sinuses cauterized and I’ve had teeth pulled. Both are less painful than a kidney stone. People think life should be perfect (their own opinion of what perfect it) and it is not. Life just is. You guys do a great job taking care of those cows and the majority of us appreciate it. Thank you! Congrats on being an uncle and grandpa!
Why is it as soon as "dad" start with ... have I ever told ya .... I instantly start smiling and Cole have a serious look on his face HOW ? I mean that's a great poker face 😂😂😂😂 love it Merry xmas to you all 🎄 and thank you for still bringing that smile to my face
I know nothing about farming but this is the Internet, so let me tell you everything you’re doing wrong. 🤣 Just kidding! What I really want to say is that I enjoyed the cow pretzel at 8:14.
Guys I have said this before your two are the funnest Father and Son videos out there and i watch many!!! always funny, interesting, and God what next LOL (poor Elie! Ah she does ok!
Fantastic and informative video! When I was twelve or thirteen, (I am 59 yo now) we had a large animal vet. friend that took me on his normal and emergency weekend calls. I helped deliver twin calves once, (and also a breech, which was bad). He had me reach in to feel the calve's legs and where the heads were oriented for a good birth. It was a wonderful learning moment for me that I will never forget. He helped me learn about how life works. He also de-horned several cows while I watched. I realized then, that there is nothing glamrous about raising cattle. Cheers and Happy New Year to the Sonny Farms Family!!
Don’t let negative people hinder your work or your way of life. Negative people will be negative and there are people out there that have nothing better to do than to pick and prod and just make you miserable. It’s only because they themselves are miserable and they don’t know of any other way to project that. Keep on doing what you’re doing and keep up the good work and awesome content!
There are alot of people that don't under stand about horns. almost all of your dairy herds do away with horns when the calves are young. When I had my oxen and go to fairs people would say look at the girl cow because they had horns ,would have to say no there bulls the horns are to help keep the yoke on when going down a hill it doesn't slip over there heads. And instead of using the powder the vet took barn cob webs and wrapped it around the horn when it shelled the outer shell . Great video keep them coming.
LOL IF WE HAD A COW SHEAD FUL OF 160 MILKING COWS WITH HORNS I WOULD BE DEAD BY NOW. no but seriosly almoast 10 that i known are dead right now bezause of buls getting to them and using their horns to do so. and sory for my bad english and hi from slovenia
It’s good to see y’all showing the good with the “bad” as some would say anyway... I love seeing all aspects of the farming industry even things like that...
You guys are great!! I say your Channel is E/I educational and informational and very entertaining you make me laugh every video. God bless you and your family and congratulations to the new parents!
I'm a new viewer. Absolutely love your videos! Love the fact that you are not afraid to declare your faith in God. I grew up on a farm in SW Minnesota, not far from Sioux Falls. I work for USDA, Agriculture Marketing Service, Poultry Division. I get out your way once in a while (Plankington), I usually stay in Mitchell. Keep up the great and honorable work. Don't worry about the haters, we live in an evil world and those people will always be here.
First one you dehorned I looked away, then next couple I watched. It's just part of your job and if you can do it I can surely watch. Thank you so much for giving a full explanation. Ya'll sure keep busy ... Congrats on the new family member! God is good.
Great work guys. Always enjoy your open and honest conversation and always adding in alittle humor. As a farm boy removed from the farm, your videos bring back great memories. Thanks.
We have to do what we have to do the best for the cattle if some people don't like dehorning cattle don't watch it is life you guys be safe and stay warm and a Happy New year see you next year I enjoy watching you guys this year
What they're saying about the horns, they're probably talking about deer and antlers. They cool with they're antlers because of more surface area, and thats why in winter they shed their antlers to get rid of that surface area that is cooling them. But yeah for cattle, I dont know about that, like you said they sweat and its not that much surface area.
Definitely appreciate the dehorning of the critters. If we in Germany dehorn small calf we need to sedate them and give them pain meds. Giving pain meds is the only thing I would do differently. In some parts of Germany it's also illegal to take of horns this sice.
Thanks for sharing your videos with us. I'm 70 something and retired from ranching here in B.C., Canada. Don't let these nae Sayers get to you, you and I know what best for the big picture and we're not about do do things detrimental to our herd and business plan. I start cavin the first part of March, can be cool, but NO flies. I keep a small bottle of Doc Naylors paste warm in my pocket, any button I see smaller than 3/4" on a calf 4 days plus I use my sharp pocket knife to cut it to the hair line and give it a smear. I keep my bands warm in my mouth and double band. Less than 1% require any attention when it come to branding time mid May. You're not about to jeopardize your animals well-being or your operation, let those comments slide off and into the pit where they belong! Cheers, all the best to you and yours in the new year. Billy in B.C..
When I was a child we had Ayrshire cattle which had large horn, they are dangerous period. We used to fasten then up in stalls and even by accident could turn and get you. The worse thing is when they broke a horn fighting and we had to get the in to stop the bleeding.
I grew up on a farm in southern MN. I seldom stayed out late in High School because my dad would always get me up earlier depending on how late I stayed out. He would never complain or criticize, just if you stayed out late, get up early. Stay out really late (like after midnight), get up at 4:30AM and do some really crappy job like shovel manure out the young-stock barns. I can remember barfing on the tractor wheel spreading manure at 5:00 am. Really a good system to keep your kids self-regulating.
As a retired farmer I fully agree that you need to dehorn, and all the videos I've seen of yours you really look after your stock, like bringing them in to calv etc. But sad to see dehorning without any form of painkiller !! When i was taught at college we would inject into the temple each side before debudding as we called it, and it was always done when calves were young. From UK
Great videos and content, nice looking group of cattle you just bought. Those same people complaining are probably the same ones with piercings in their eyebrows, nostrils, lips and everywhere else. They just need to go find their safe space.
Cole, I always say "haters gonna hate." I used to raise goats and dehorning got the same haters especially from people on the outside. Love your videos!
I'm in aerospace and dad was in pharmaceuticals, neither of us know anything about cows. Dad always said that a cow with horns is a sign of a lazy farmer. Our last name is Horne. I know Horne's.
Nicely none guys! You take very good care of your animals!! And don't let the comments say anything different. This is normal framing and ranching. You keep the animals calm all the way through! Transport them in a kind way, keep them as healthy as you can. This is a good learning TH-cam channel.
Another great video and funny you can't make all the people happy all the time so you do what you got to do and they'll get over it have a great day boys
Hey Cole and Brian. Some day when you are sitting around the computer google “ Saskatchewan Snow Beef “. You may find it interesting, you may have already heard of it. Either way thanks for the video.
Your ethical animal husbandry is second to none. Negative comments are not on and come from an ignorant or biased basis. God bless all you farmers for feeding us omnivores!
There’s always going to be instigators. It’s important for people to see where their food comes from. If they don’t believe it’s right, that’s their belief. That’s the beauty of this country!
The type of person who would have an issue with removing horns from your livestock are the same kind of people who tout pictures of injured animals on the farm and claim that raising cattle is unnatural and cruel. You just can't win. Do what's right for your critters, at the end of the day those people wouldn't last till lunch on the feed lot. You know what they say; 'If you wouldn't accept their advice, don't accept their criticism.'
I love watching your videos. I grew up on a working farm, and we had a small heard of black angus. I remember one of the cows had a calf and my brother got in the pin to check and make sure it was ok, the mother didn’t like him being so close and buckled him right over the feed manger. Glad she didn’t have horns
Good for the city folks to see what's happening in the real world and how it ends up on their plate. It doesn't just come from Safeway meat department!
Im a city folk and never knew this was a thing. Just stumbled on this video. Closest I’ve ever come to this is clipping my dogs toenails. Farmers and ranchers know their trades and i think its best to leave them to doing their good work. It seem to be hard work and most Americans eat well because of it. I tip my hat to them and the makers of the video.

The phrase we use here is "Oh you've had a kid, see you in eighteen years.".
Sweet video... My 56-year old aunt is the only person in the family with the expertise to de horn cattle in our little community. Haven't practice that particular art myself. But we've moved to breeding Angus as well.
I can remember my grandfather dehorning beef and dairy cattle. He always grabbed a handful of cob webs and put them on where the horn was. It worked like a charm!
I'm from the UK halfway through the video I was thinking I hadn't heard your dad say "did i ever tell you about the time I" then I he did 😂 I like them moments and don't worry about the people that get angry at the things you do as you know why you do them and whats best for the farm.
As a farmer's son and having grown up on farms for all of my 27 almost 28 years, I have never heard off horns on the cattle helping with heat regulations. If anyone tells you that, then they don't know much about farming or they're talking out of where the good lord split them...... And that's all I gotta say about that. P.S. love the videos they are really entertaining and hilarious. Keep up the awesome work.
Hi Guys 🙋🏻♂️ Good video 👍🏻 Congrats on the new Sonne joining the world. Unfortunately there are jobs on the farm that are not like able by the farmer doing them or the ppl that see them done. But it’s part of farming . Over the years I’ve heard ppl talking about farmers and ranchers on how can they do that to animals . The funny thing about it is that when I’ve heard them talking it’s been while they were dinning out eating steaks . I always thought that one should never complain about farmers when ur eating because more then likely everything ur eating came off a farm somewhere and if it didn’t you probably shouldn’t be eating it !

Dehorning an animals is not just for the safety of other animals but humans safety too.

Thank you for sharing this video along with many others that highlight the "best practices" you employ in animal husbandry on your farm. Good job!
Words of wisdom from my late grandfather. "Women and cattle shouldn't have a horn". Makes way more sense now that I'm an adult!
Yeah just like you don't give your teenaged son the electric cattle prod you keep that one
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s so refreshing to watch how much respect you show the critters, and everything you do for them is truly in their best interest. I love it.

Fr I'm not use to dehorning so I had to look away the first cow but then I was like this is nature and their farmers
I worked for a vet for 10 years when we dehorned we used a hemostat and pulled that vein then put the powder on. We sure enjoy your videos!

That chute looks so sweet for working cattle.
It's our Q-Power 107 Series Hydraulic Chute! Definitely speeds up the process of working cattle. :)
Your ethical animal husbandry is second to none. Negative comments are not on and come from an ignorant or biased basis. God bless all you farmers for feeding us omnivores!
There’s always going to be instigators. It’s important for people to see where their food comes from. If they don’t believe it’s right, that’s their belief. That’s the beauty of this country!
Great video congratulations Cole on being an uncle and congratulations to your brother and his wife 👍👍👍
The type of person who would have an issue with removing horns from your livestock are the same kind of people who tout pictures of injured animals on the farm and claim that raising cattle is unnatural and cruel. You just can't win. Do what's right for your critters, at the end of the day those people wouldn't last till lunch on the feed lot. You know what they say; 'If you wouldn't accept their advice, don't accept their criticism.'
I love watching your videos. I grew up on a working farm, and we had a small heard of black angus. I remember one of the cows had a calf and my brother got in the pin to check and make sure it was ok, the mother didn’t like him being so close and buckled him right over the feed manger. Glad she didn’t have horns
Good for the city folks to see what's happening in the real world and how it ends up on their plate. It doesn't just come from Safeway meat department!
Disrupting the zoom call & I have to get off🤣🤣😂
Congratulations to the addition to the Sonne Family!!
Cole and Brian congratulations and keep doing what you doing you're doing a great job thank you for feeding us all that yummy 🍖
Good video. You explained it well of why you dehorn but also show the process so people can understand.
Congratulations, Cole. You get to show your nephew the ropes on the farm.
And how to get in trouble without getting caught. It is fun to be an uncle.
its a neice

Greetings from Colorado. My momma grew up in Yankton, and I spent a few summers there. Have cousins in MTV.
I hope your new grandchild will be a Packers fan too!!! Go GREEN AND GOLD!!!
She will be. I'll make sure of that.
Very informative video, appreciate the work you do to feed us!
Thank you for the learning moment on the Black angus not having horns.
They are not the only naturally polled breed but they are certainly the most common across the world.
Im a city folk and never knew this was a thing. Just stumbled on this video. Closest I’ve ever come to this is clipping my dogs toenails. Farmers and ranchers know their trades and i think its best to leave them to doing their good work. It seem to be hard work and most Americans eat well because of it. I tip my hat to them and the makers of the video.
The phrase we use here is "Oh you've had a kid, see you in eighteen years.".
Very good video! So many people are oblivious about animal agriculture or any agriculture. And a nice set of steers that u worked
Anybody against dehorning has never been horned. That will change your mind
Exactly
Ask Lane Frost about horns
honestly
Lane Frost....😥
Lane Frost the rodeo bull rider was killed by a bucking bull at the rodeo !
Sweet video...
My 56-year old aunt is the only person in the family with the expertise to de horn cattle in our little community. Haven't practice that particular art myself. But we've moved to breeding Angus as well.
Congrats on the baby! Angus Beef is so damn juicy. Thanks for making the best meat on Earth! 🌎🌍🌏
I can remember my grandfather dehorning beef and dairy cattle. He always grabbed a handful of cob webs and put them on where the horn was. It worked like a charm!
I don’t think it’s inhumane to dehorn but they should have pain relief. They do feel it. Some country vets are wrong when they claim otherwise.
Do you know that from a past life as a bovine? Or, like most people, are you just making uneducated guesses?
@@garyreneker6226 pretty sure it’s from my DVM that I know this.
I'm from the UK halfway through the video I was thinking I hadn't heard your dad say "did i ever tell you about the time I" then I he did 😂 I like them moments and don't worry about the people that get angry at the things you do as you know why you do them and whats best for the farm.
Hardest part of your farming is dealing with know it alls on youtube! Sucks !
They talk like they have done it for years, but yet they never done it at all. Damn thin skinned snow flakes.
Thanks for explaining it so well . Never knew why you would decorate them but now know . Thanks for the good info
Another great video by Sonne Productions, where the men are hot, and the heifers are hornless, haha, and congrats on extending the Sonne brand
As a farmer's son and having grown up on farms for all of my 27 almost 28 years, I have never heard off horns on the cattle helping with heat regulations. If anyone tells you that, then they don't know much about farming or they're talking out of where the good lord split them...... And that's all I gotta say about that.
P.S. love the videos they are really entertaining and hilarious. Keep up the awesome work.
“If I was at McDonald’s and someone was poking me with a stick...” 🤣🤣
It wouldn't be me cuz I don't eat McDonalds food. lol
Good tidy job....agree with your thinking totally. Happy new year from Northern Ireland 👌👌👏
if i had cattle, i wouldn't have one with horns. the last cow i had was as gentle your pet dog and was the most dangerous animal i ever owned.
WTF?
Hi Guys 🙋🏻♂️ Good video 👍🏻 Congrats on the new Sonne joining the world. Unfortunately there are jobs on the farm that are not like able by the farmer doing them or the ppl that see them done. But it’s part of farming . Over the years I’ve heard ppl talking about farmers and ranchers on how can they do that to animals . The funny thing about it is that when I’ve heard them talking it’s been while they were dinning out eating steaks . I always thought that one should never complain about farmers when ur eating because more then likely everything ur eating came off a farm somewhere and if it didn’t you probably shouldn’t be eating it !
