Angry Cow Has Twins 

After seeing this video, I'll never complain about the price of steak ever again. Wow, I have nothing but greatest respect for you two.

Cole, I may pick on you a lot in the comments but I have major respect for all the hard and dirty work you and your awesome dad do on a daily basis. I love your videos.

ATTN: ALL "CLAVES" Please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop in the barn. Thank you. ( there Cole, that should take care of it. )

Dear Cole, my name is Javier Kühn and I live in Argentina. I also have the joy of working in the fields. I am in awe of your work. I send a greeting.

More people need to see how hard farmers and ranchers work to keep us fed

That last cow is planning on teaching you how to sing soprano first time you let your guard down.

Love it! Sandi has the ‘lamb taxi’ and you’ve got the ‘calf taxi’ ❤️

This is hard work, hat's off gentlemen!

His father cleaning Cole’s face was so sweet!

Cole, your dad was just showing his MacGyvering skills with that fence, esp with the weather being crap, the ground being a mess, and is my understanding, the price of lumber has gone way up. Lol I laughed a little too hard at the cow stepping on the sled, trying to keep you from moooving her calf into the barn. She was prolly thinking, "no joyriding with my kid'. Was nice of you to take them on a sled ride though. And well I'd be thankful that your dad didn't pull out the afterbirth till after he wiped the stuff off the side of your face. Small blessings. And in honor of National Agriculture Day/Week. Thank you, Cole, Brian, and Jeff, for all you do for the agriculture industry, and for being the wonderful you, that you all are. Your girlfriend did a nice job on the website as well. Stay safe, be well, and stay blessed.

Ellie peeking in was adorable but my favorite part of the video was the angry momma at the end, she really did have some attitude.

Brian has to be so dang glad you stayed to help on the farm, I have no idea how he done this himself . AND you guys do the best video out there, I mean you guys could do one a day and we would luv it.

Cole: a trick we did was to bolt a half plastic barrel to the inside of our calf sled, kept the calves in and they couldn't standup with the curved sides. Well done on your videos.

You're girlfriend made you mention her twice now. I'm keeping track. L0L

🤔🤔🤔. That mean cow with the stuck afterbirth reminded me of a time I didn’t want to remember at all. Every May to August we’d visit my gramps ranch for fun times then at 10 it became a paying job and hard work. A cow he’d already brought in before we arrived was so mean but was in trouble. She’d lie down and if gramps or whoever approached she’d get up and charge. The calf was stuck and soon was yelling and again charge us. She’d finally got so mad she got up and swung around so fast that calf came flying out 20 ft knocking my uncle passed out holding it and that cow nearly killed him. When all was done decided not to work on checking her out so next day some of the placenta was hanging and she was awful sick. Never forget that awful smell and worse than smell of collected manure. When gramp was asked how does he handle the muddier times and all that manure he said he didn’t smell anything and that’s why he continued with raising a herd. He was told if ya don’t smell it then he was meant to be a farmer. Asked another question which he said HUH to claiming he couldn’t hear what was asked. Claimed he lost his hearing a few years after marrying gram cus got tired of answering all her questions 😅😂🤣. Needless to say the work y’all do is definitely not easy and if you’re clean then didn’t work at all. After his love my gram passed his hearing was much improved and his stories was the pride for several more years. Keep sharing your stories and Cole keep recording them too. Back then we’d keep written journals in hopes to write books for history of our family but you keep recording for times ya just want to hear your dad and uncles voice telling them instead. Sure wish I could hear the voices I loved to spend my summers with and other times too and who surprised us with a college fund or just starting a new life and we didn’t find out until after he passed and then had a letter for each one of us. Sorry sooo long and now know why I love your videos. Ya do bring a flood of memories and a wonderful display of a great father son and family relationship filling the needs of this country and world and a flood o great stories. Am ready for next one soon. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

“I have a cramp from all those Girl Scout cookies”.... that has got to be one of the most relatable things that was said in this video 😂

Who said farming was easy? That person needs to be throat punched. 🤣🤣🤣 Love watching the care you put into your cattle.

"You had lights back then?" lol Good thing that was AFTER he deposited your checks!

Hi Cole and Brian hope you all are doing good today and your family too.God bless you today and always.Thank you for sharing everything I enjoy watching your RU-vid channel.I thank you for all your hard work and sharing your family and life.God bless you all.

No sun was exposed in the making of this video. That being said, Welcome to Sonne Farms. Where even in darkness the men are still Sonne.

Retained placenta!! What a joy! We do pretty much the same as you guys. Penicillin and after calf bolus’ l enjoy watching you two. Our family run an operation in northern Alberta. I get stuck doing the gross jobs too Brian! Lol

I think those little claves had a great time in the toboggan. Did you see the last one standing up. Whoo hoo weeeeeee. Brian, did you lick your handkerchief before you wiped Cole's face? Awwww.

You guys are just amazing!!! I respect the can do spirit EVERYDAY. IT HARD WORK, it never stops and our family loves and appreciates what you do for our nation. We watch as a family because the interaction of you and your father Cole is awesome. We know there are tough times but life is hard. Thanks for tour content huge fans! About to get online to get merch. Love the mew Brian shirt and that’s all I have to say about that!

This was an absolutely delightful and enjoyable vid. I so love your type of humor! And how you talk to your critters! Gotta love your dad too. You guys rock!!

They had lights back then... Lmao... I'm older than your dad but it still tickled me

I'm just a city girl from Springfield, Missouri, but I sure love watching these videos!

I just love your camaraderie while working together, so awesome to watch how well you work together and the respect both ways! Also, very rarely do you find that people who have to deal with all the hard work in those conditions be as positive and pleasant as you guys are.. impressive indeed!!

Cole, I love you and Brian's dynamics. 2000 cow calf pairs up in Canada so I can relate

Lots of fun watching you guys from my recliner, thanks for the entertainment!

I agree. Prefer to calve on frozen ground over muddy ground. Wet mud takes out more heat than cold dry weather.

Another very informative video. I grew up on a dairy/grain farm so we called year around. This video should give non farm people an idea of how much work is involved with calving a beef herd in early spring. I know exactly why you do it this time of the year with all the spring fieldwork coming up. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

You make it look easier than it really is. You have my respect. Thank you for the opportunity to see your daily hard work through your videos. God bless everyone at Sonne Farms.

It's been nice here no white water from the sky, just water that fell during the darkness. Nice to see the cows and calves are healthy hope the one cleans out okay. Great video thanks

Has to be one of the best Channels on YT Period.

I’ve been loving your guys videos! Just found your channel about a week ago. That soupy mess is the exact reason we try and do most of our calving in January and February. I’d rather deal with the cold and snow than the wet and mud. Keep up the good work!

I miss helping with claving when I was younger. Good memories cold mornings and fun times

Very hard working guys, wishing you and your dad drier days .

Cole, your uplifting approach to all this messy stuff is encouraging. Thank you.

Awesome video Cole! :) Love your sense of humor and your dads stories. Thanks!

Hey Brian. I remember going to a country school outside Huron. Went yr n half. Had one other kid in my class. 12 students total. I loved it

You guys are ace from Scotland we're are you all from on here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍

Said it before I’ll say it again. A farmer I am NOT! Thank you for the tasty beef. That 🐄 was pissed off! Good mama. Protect them babies. I was gagging right along with you. 🤢🤢

I am not sure why, but it cracks me up watching mom cows following their calves in the sled. Liked and subbed!

great video's and content.. really enjoy.. we use tarp straps (bungie straps) to lock calves in the calf sleds takes about 4 just drill holes on top of rim and then strap across. thanks again guys!

Lol Cole! Love it when you talk to your heifers like they understand and are saying "Sure Cole whatever you say!" Was glad to see a video today! Got my fix and off to the day! :-)

Watching your videos all the way from the Western Cape, South Africa and love every moment of it!!!! Keep it up. 🐾

Did I ever tell you about...today? I thought I would sit and watch my favourite Farmers over on Sonny Farms - so I grabbed a nice bowl of cereal and milk and was chomping away.... And all of a sudden these two farmers trapped this Mama-Cow in a barn and were tugging away at the cow's post-berthing entrails and.... Eeeeeewwwww...... Well that's all I got to say about that.... lol :)

Loving the hard work you and your dad do. Had a very protective cow jump into the back of our tagging pickup one time with my dad and the calf. Luckily no one was hurt. Keep up the awesome work Cole and Brain. Stay safe!

I don't know how u do it in that cold crappy weather I couldn't so hats off. And can't wait to hear more stories. Guess dad was wrong there will be more than 100 calf if they keep pushing twins lol great job cole god bless🙏🙏

I love waking up Saturday morning to a Sonne Farms video! Two thumbs up on this one! Love you guys.

Wow! What a day, the struggle is real. I think my favorite snigglet of the day was the “Girl Scout cookie” comment. Very sublime. Today was a Far Side cartoon.....or 5.

I take it from your reaction Cole the cows cleanings weren’t smelling fresh 🤣🤣

Total respect for all you and your father do.

I could hear the calves screaming “Faster-Faster” as mom chased them.

When you putBaby clave in the tub, have yourself a piggin string just like the rodeo calf ropers do and tie it’s little feet so it can’t get up and fall out.Great video,keep them coming!!🇺🇸

For conditions like that we made a small trailer (2'x4') with stockade panel sides with opening back gate to put the calf in pulled with atv, Easy to pull, holds a couple calves, calf won't get out and cow can see the calf standing. With all the rain and snow you should have grass stirrup high by May. Keep on keepin on.

Cole...you gotta little something right there.....👉🤫😳. Thank goodness for your Dad and a used paper towel! Great video!

Heya. I'm from Iceland and I'm a dairy farmer. If my cows don't clean in 12-18 hours I pull gently and try to get as much as I can out and don't do anything else. My vet says they can handle it fine. I do notice that after they finish the cleaning in about 3-4 weeks the yield increases and before that they'd be underpreforming yield wise so it definetly takes a toll. You are in a different situation tho. You need them to milk the most first few weeks then not at all and you also probably have way more bacteria to fight off than we do so I'd consult a local OLD! vet about any antibiotic use.

Keep your tails and hooves inside the ride at all times and thank you for visiting Sonne Farms!

I laughed so hard! I know how difficult and annoying getting the twins on but it was so funny! When I was a girl on the farm we didn’t have calf sleds. But our main cow lot and calf lot had 5 barns that we could put them in at least for a while. We used 3 mainly. I kinda felt guilty for laughing but I laughed just the same. Thanks for sharing.

"Ain't nothin' gettin' thru that."

God bless farmers and ranchers!

I've seen somebody on RU-vid using a half 55 gallon plastic drum (split top to bottom) to tote newborn calves in. They said the rounded bottom keeps them from standing up while being dragged along. You might want to try it if you have an old plastic drum that's handy.

Once again you are right, you had a lot of doin's today ! Great show today guys, thanks !

Shoutout to Mrs. Moody for being a real one

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!! Keep up the hard work & GREAT Content!!!!

Such hard work not much appreciated by the people who eat steak. Thanks and God Bless

Haha, I love this Cole kid, he has so much personality! Y’all work so hard!! ❤️🐄😊

Hi guys, the vets around here say don't worry about cows not cleaning unless they stop eating, giving antibiotics slows the rotting process, they'll clean evenally. Works for us but not saying you have to agree. Yes Brian I agree with you about calving when its a little colder, we've had wet snow last 3 days and I don't like the wet and mud, feel for you guys. Another good one Cole

We have a trailer for bringing in calves. Dad built it years ago and it works like a charm. It has a metal floor and bars on the sides. It easily holds 2 calves so if they have twins, or you need to bring up 2, you can bring them together. The cows can see them and even get up and smell them but the calves can't climb or fall out. We pull it behind a 4 wheeler.

My grand father a very long time ago develop a calf cage on ski’s that we use to pull either behind a truck, tractor, etc and it worked slick in any type of weather. The cow can still see and smell her baby and follow behind to the barn. Also helps w the protective mommas to try to keep u safe! I’m sure there is something on the market today comparable but that is what worked for us. Duck boat u are using works just as well! Lol keep up the great work!

You two do a fantastic job. We had that happen on our farm to, not many but a few. Not fun when they don't clean. We gave antibiotics and we use an empty vinegar jog, we filled it with some water, maybe half and tied it to the cleanings, gently it pulled it out.

Great videos guys, not sure my blood pressure can take those close calls I see you get .......LOL Some of those mama's are a bit testy with you guys...........makes me anxious and I talk to you through the screen........"watch out"..........LOL Nothing like a mom wanting to protect her young I guess.......... Good show...........anxious to see your new website. Gonna check it out....... God bless!

My daughter has been learning hog tying from a horse this week, and I thought you need the little rope for your calves. But you got it done just fine, good job cowboys.

This is hard work and I appreciate you and your family for what you do and provide!

Brian "once upon a time" Sonne Great stories keep em coming!

Cole! Don't drive so damn fast with those calves in the trolley🤣🤣Momma just gave birth and your making her RUN! With that being said, you and Dad are great advocates for the welfare of your herd. Love you guys!!👏👏❤❤

You know I always have breakfast Saturday morning with you guys. Thanks for the warning but by now I'm pretty much used to everything you guys do.

It's amazing that a new calf can cope with the cold weather so soon after birth and not die from exposure.

A little rough day on calving i see its all good tho good video Cole and Brian stay safe Daniel from central Mississippi

So many new babies. Exciting times. Thanks for the video.

Ellies breakfast, Ellies snack....Nothing like a ripe one. hahahaha! Bravo!

no point taking a bath. You'll just get muddy again, tomorrow. LOL Overall, looks like a good, though difficult day. Good healthy calves. Exciting times.

Good to show people how much work and thought goes into your day. Farming is a calling

So nice of you guys taking the claves sledding! Good quality time with the kids!

We have always fed a box of Quaker old fashioned oats to the cow. Hasn’t failed us yet.

Here we think you guys and South Dakota are great, despite your weather.

Down and Dirty, Stinky and Dirty, all in a day's work. Father and son are fantastic, great tag-team. Hang in there, weather will get better, after calving, (claving) lol

Oh my lanterns . I could not of pulled that cleanings out . Then slung it over a wall . Knowing my luck , a gust of wind would of wrapped it around my head tighter than a turban!!! . I also don't want my candy bar any more..😆 lol . Note to self. Don't watch and eat at claving time. !! Hahaha

Get along lil doggie...from Texas the Lone Star State 🌟

Funny...a good waterfall. 😂 How wonderful you take the time and energy to bring those babies and their Mama's into the barns....where it is safe from the weather and predators. God Bless You Guys. 🍃🕊

Good video Cole,Brian,and Ellie,Hopefully,you are having better weather now.

Cole, "don't poke the bear!". Another great dad lesson.

I loved this video. While the sledding babes were so adorable, I can’t fathom how difficult it is to work in those conditions. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mean cow, but I guess she gets a pass because of the protection of babes. It’s funny I just figured out, after watching several of your videos, that you’re saying “pairs”. I’m like what’s bears got anything to do with it. I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m learning so much. Thank you.

I found your videos about a month ago, and now I am just finishing binge watching to catch up on the last 4 yrs. You do a very good job of the videos, and now I need my Sonne Farm fix daily....lol Give Ellie an extra bit of lov'n from me.

Dang, a double set of twins? You guys got it going on. 👍 BTW, I checked out your new web page, NICE 💗

Yep..... it is April 17th 2021 here on our ranch in Nebraska... and we feel your pain!! LOL --- Like your handy dandy calf sled!! We have about 660 calves down and another 100 to go, and we too were calving in that sloppy, snow storm mess, in March! Always interesting to see how others manage their herds. We don't have a big barn like yours and have mostly sand on the floors inside our barns, so our calves don't get a nice hay bed inside but they do ok. We also don't take the time to doctor the cords of the new calves. When dry, they get a tag, a shot and ear notches and a hoof measurement and they are good to go. They stay outside in the elements unless it is super cold or very windy in cold weather.... just need to tough it out, but we have lots of shelter belts, and our main calving lot has tall shelter belts on both the North and South sides, so are pretty snug in storms. Today I fed my bunch of bull calf pairs (185 pairs) on our "maternal homestead 3 miles Northwest of the main place, and had the fun to pitch hay from a bale that my son decided to unwrap the net wrap off of yesterday ... outside of the pasture, and it fell apart in the stack yard. I got to pitch the rest of it onto my hydrabed this morning so I could go feed it. It was all leafy and fine, like it had been run through the processor.--- Took 3 trips and about an hour of pitching. Great start to my day. LOL Since we had wet snow on the ground yesterday morning with more falling, I fed only half of my feed in the corral behind a shelterbelt over there... and had my son go feed the other half late afternoon... while I made 3 pies to freeze for our branding next week. He had the same fun that I had, trying to roll out big bales of hay with the hydrabed, in mud with almost 400 critters milling about in the small corral. But he made the decision to remove all the net wrap from one of his bales, and it fell apart on him... and had to try to roll out half, and ended up pitching a bunch too... but he left me the other half to feed this morning! (I sent him a photo and told him thank you! ) LOL My husband and I ranch on the family homestead, with our 26 year old son. The ranch has been in my husbands family since 1892 and our son is the 5th generation to ranch it, and unless he marries and has a son.... the last of the family name! We are strictly cow/calf, no crops, in the NE sandhills, though I grew up a farmers daughter and was the hired hand for a farm family when I met my husband, so I was driving those big John Deere tractors once upon a time, myself! We host Airbnb 10 months of the year, so have opportunities to show city folks what life on a ranch is like. We have about 760 head of cows, and they are handled enough that many are pretty tame and can be hand fed cake cubes.... which we take our guests out to do, and they love it! It is always enjoyable to see these families and sometimes little kids, face to face with a bunch of cows eagerly waiting for a "cow cookie", our own real life petting zoo! That is why I enjoy videos like yours, an opportunity for city folk to SEE what goes on and the hard work behind it, and that we are not mean to these animals as often portrayed. It is hard work and can be very frustrating and worrisome, but love the ranch and cows! Nothing like seeing these grass covered, rolling hills for beauty and peace.

That was cute with the new calf getting the sleigh ride to the barn. You do good work!

Hard work but rewarding at the same time.

Cole-You made the naughty list.- cow charges
