As a father it is great to help out a son. It is even greater when the son truly appreciates the opportunity given to him by his father. Great channel. Great family.

Being someone who leases out registered Angus breeding bulls to the locals in my area, I really love seeing the Brian Sonne bulls! Cole ya got one of the best agricultural farm mentors in the state coaching you along, you’ll do just fine on the new lease. Good luck brother 🇺🇸

Corgies are awesome dogs. Like Border Collies, they are herding dogs. What a sweet puppy. I'm sure Ellie will warm up to him.

We all have highs and lows, and nobody likes the lows but they happen !! Congratulations on the Highs and pray we can all keep the lows away 🙏 I Love watching you Farm with great attitudes and attention to details and your Livestock 🤗

Sure glad the Sonnes are dog lovers. Ellie would have made a great cattle dog when she was younger with training n paired up with another cattle dog. Only way we could safely control our breeding Angus bulls n Angus Holstein cross grass fed custom order on ranch butchered beef Shooting a young dog in training still and then the kids pet goat. Pretty darn cold. Wonder how she raised her kids, whips n clubs.

Cole, you don't have the financial investment in the farm that Brian does, but you are fully vested in it. The appreciation you 3 men have for each other is heartwarming. I've thought for years I would get a Corgi but didn't. It will be fun to watch Sonny as he grows and becomes a farm dog.

Thanks for another Sonne video. It was informative and interesting. Wow. What a video this was. Sorry Brian that you and Cole lost a cow. I feel real bad for you and your operation. Know you will keep an eye on the calf. Hang in there. Congratulations to you Cole for being able to rent some farm ground. That is great. Farm land is hard to come by, been there myself years ago. I know you will be a great tenant and you and dad and Jeff will get it done. Happy for you. Congratulations again!!!!!!!! The puppy is so cute. Sonny is a great name for it. Sonny will be a great companion for all of you on the farm. Great and cute!!!!!!!! Well you had a busy day with everything going on. Like your new feeder wagon you got. Will be a big help. Sorry one of your bulls cannot breed. But that is why you check them. Glad all the rest were ok. The miles you have to get to your rented ground is, yes kind of hard but you have the ground. Back in my days we had two pieces of land quite a way from our farm but we just made it work. Know you and dad and Jeff will make it work also. Congratulations again Cole. About it I guess. Thanks for everything. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

I’m so very sorry for the loss of the mama cow. I’m not sure if you were trying to blame yourself Cole, but God had the final say and it wasn’t meant to be for that particular cow. She could’ve had something else wrong with her and it could’ve been a worse death. Not only did you get a new puppy Brian but Cole I think you have a calf that thinks it’s a puppy. I appreciate that you showed us what happened with that particular cow and it just goes to show that not every day is a good day. You count your blessings to find the positive or silver lining in every situation, she gave you a calf. I appreciate everything that y’all do as farmers, it’s not an easy life. Thank you❣️

Brian, I really respect and admire your comments at the end of the video giving Cole high praises. SO MUCH better than “coarse jesting” as it says in the Bible. You give Cole reason to believe you respect and love him with his work and efforts. So nice to hear loving words of praise and encouragement instead of all the “kidding” which can be harsh. You’re a wonderful father and a great person. Thanks so much. Whose dog is the Corgi ? I was confused as it’s at the main farm or so it appears. Great video. Thanks !

I work on a ranch/feedlot/farm, a couple days a week, because out of all the man's kids, all 7 of them, none of them care enough to help their Dad out. All they want to do is, take. It's really sad. Brian and Mrs. Sonne did a great job raising you, fella. Thanks for the videos. Take care.

All those defective Electric Fence units bring back a lot of memories for me. I have been an Electronics Technician for a long time. So long in fact I started out as a TV repairman. We fixed Fencers for the local farmers. I fixed a boat load of them in my life. People used to get everything repaired. Very little got thrown away, you know back when we were supposedly wrecking the earth. But I digress lol.
