I don't understand how anybody could have a problem with the darting. it makes perfect sense, far less stressful than the alternative. And ermagerd perlets, everybody wins.

Well, I had to watch twice because tearing out old fence is one of my favorite things and building new fence is another. So in my Sonne Farms tee me and my Sonne Slappy, got my fence fix in, listening to With Or Without You. I like the darts. They work mighty fine. That’s some good looking beevos you got out there! We had an all night downpour here in the Quah Monday night. Got almost 4 inches. Now it’s not just hot but hot and STEAMY! The Sonne Farms bull needs to do his job and the next guy’s too. He doesn’t know any better. He’s a bull! Thanks for farming and thanks for sharing! Storla Station

Cole cherish the memories that you are having with your dad and mom as you get older you will really appreciate the good times you had with them. I lost my little brother 8 years ago from a stroke at 48 plus he was born deaf but it never slowed him down as when he was in high school he played hockey and made varsity when he was in 9 the grade and actually made varsity all 4 years and was the first deaf person to make the hockey team for his school. And then he graduated from high school and got a job with NASA space and had experiments on the space shuttle. But when we moved to Cleveland Ohio he went to a deaf school but in highschool he went to a hearing school and then I lost my dad 5 years ago and my mom 4 years ago so it's just my brother and I and I love the Midwest and he likes Cleveland Ohio.

I am enjoying sitting, drinking wine, and watching you two work together. The story of each person with their "pet beaver" to make fence posts... makes me marvel at the difference in tools you use compared to 40 years ago: skid steer; skid steer with post driver or auger; cordless reciprocating saw for cutting fence steel; cordless fence wire stapler and cordless drill/driver for lag screws. It might be an interesting economics study to see the comparison of work time saved vs tools and labor 40 years ago. Thanks for the educational videos! Great teachers.

My phone won't let into the comment section, Any way my question is why was there such a long stretch of what looked like a cement sidewalk along that 1 area where you were replacing fence? Was that the feeding area we here the feeding bunks sat? Or was there a house with a long sidewalk in the field at 1 time many years ago. Looked like it would be great for your feeding bunks if it close to your home. Cement for the cattle to stand on while eating.

It looks so nice when you are done. Nice work guys. Dart gun. We used one. Was a quick and efficient way to treat a cow or calf without having to move them to the barnyard. Agree with you that is much better than running them in the heat. Nice shot Cole. Brian. Like you power washing your genes. Oh my. Good song of the day. Hadn’t hear that for a long time.
