Mr. Cole, I think that drone footage of you and Mr. Brian driving the cattle down the road and into the corral is one of the coolest things I've seen on this channel. Well done sir.

Your cattle drive went well because there were two experienced cattlemen in charge and they know how to drive cattle. The drone shots are so helpful understanding how your world is put together. The prayers for moisture are answered, now you need prayers for sunny weather for awhile. Keep them coming, Cole, your videos are well done, entertaining, and I feel like I’m a part of your family. Good feelings.

To add to the praise: The drone footage of moving the cattle down the road put it all in perspective. That's what you do with your channel - you give the rest of us perspective on how y'all do what you do. You cover all the hidden little things and tell us the "why" behind the "what". You're especially adept at wrangling the tougher explanations, things that people don't agree with. Your channel has been my "let's go look at youtube" home for many years. I wish I could afford to contribute to your efforts, but that's not possible these days. Thank you for the education.

I’m following you from the southwest of Western Australia, I’ve been beef farming for 3 years full time, grown to 30 head of murry grey so far as funds allow ..and growing steers for 15 years while working for 35 years as a heavy duty mechanic. You are on my list of channels I learn from and get ideas as well as some entertainment……so I appreciate the effort you all put in …. My cows … not so much , it’s early morning here at moment early winter and it’s raining and I’ve just pulled my bull out , I looked out and wondered if he’s taken shelter in bush from the cold and rain. Then thought of you guys with your extreme cold and snow … He’s got it easy 👍👍👍 we only get frosts a dozen times a year 😁😁

First, thanks for the hay storage explanation. Between the acreage the rows take, snow sitting atop every bail during winter, and chasing loose critters running amok in the gaps, I had wondered why things were the way they were. And a good visual aid to make it all the more convincing.... And with visual aids.....to be doing a wonky little cattle drive that could have used maybe at least one extra "horse", for you to set up the aerial shot showed some balls. Capturing that view deserves mention as part of your assessment that "things went about as well as they could". Nice job.

Thanks for another great video Cole and Brian. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. You and your dad are excellent herdsmen that is for sure. You made moving those cattle look easy when it takes time and patience. Nice work. My compliments to both of you. Your portable corral sure is nice too have in treating your cattle for flies and giving them shots. Good work. The drone footage was really good Cole. Really gives you the perspective of the flooding and how it impacts your fields and roads and just everything. Lot of water, more than one thinks. Wow. Know it would be nice to have a building to store your hay but justify the expense is hard. Buildings are so expensive any more especially if you do concrete floors. You seem to do pretty good with your hay in the outdoor areas. Believe you do a good job with it the best you can. New tires on your semi truck. That is some hard work. Glad stora station can do it for you. That is an expensive project for sure. Got to keep the equipment safe for being on the road. About it for now I guess. Thanks for everything. You and dad take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Good explanation Cole on the question on not stacking bales outside… ALSO, using netwrap, water sheds off better than twine wrap… also having them in long rows pushed together end to end tightly helps protect the ends of bales that doesn’t have net wrap… Each row should be apart so rain will not pool between rows that are touching. Best also is placing rows running north to south…
