Farm life requires constant attention to machinery and animal care during cold weather. Managing pen conditions becomes a priority to ensure comfort for the herd. Daily tasks involve careful navigation and precise movements to keep operations running smoothly.
Got a lot of heads in here.
Yeah, I'd say.
Big ol' bag right here.
I almost see the head coming out of this one.
What? What'd you say?
I said I almost see the head coming out of that one.
Almost?
Yeah.
Not quite, but soon.
About two feet away from seeing the head.
Happy birthday.
Got a bowl.
Bowl.
Big paperwork guy over here.
When I put down that I read National and we went N.A.
And then I look in the book and it says Sire.
Not available.
Does not apply.
Cannot apply.
I hate it.
Wish it was N.T.
Or N.L.
N.L. would have been good.
National.
Hmm.
That was one of my suggestions.
You were voting on this.
Well folks, it's a nice day.
It's about 30 degrees right now.
Opening the door on the barn so we can let a little fresh air in.
That is unless I forgot to unlatch this.
Got the fans going.
Got some breeze rolling through.
That ain't.
We didn't need that bale and that feeder so he just plucked it out.
Gonna drop it over for these red heifers.
Looks like it's falling apart a bit.
He's going real slow, real steady.
Will he get there?
Precision and skill from Brian Sonny right now is astounding.
Are we in the bale olympics right here?
Not one flake of hay falling off of that.
Will he stick the landing?
Folks, you're seeing it here.
Gold medal.
All this chorn made me hungry, Pa.
I feel like I need to chomp on something.
My wife has been buying these for years actually.
So when they reached out to me and said,
Would you like us to be a sponsor of a video?
I said, sure thing.
You better help yourself.
I've had plenty.
Are there different flavors?
Yeah, actually there's a smoky barbecue in there.
That one's mine.
Okay.
Yeah.
Get your grubby little paws off my chomps.
Taco season beef stick.
Seesaw beef stick.
Jalapeno beef stick.
I'm gonna go with the Jalapeno.
They're pretty easy to grab high protein snacks.
I'm all about flavor.
Oh, all in a stick without the ick.
This one's got medium heat, the smoky barbecue.
That's the Jalapeno, it's got some heat.
I've only ever had the original.
So I'm pretty excited for this.
Zero sugar.
Ten grams of protein.
Ten gallons of it.
Or probably grams.
Probably not gallons.
Either way it's good.
All the protein.
I know I've only tried one flavor.
But so far this is my favorite.
So these were the big ones?
Yeah.
And they got smaller snack sizes?
They love the name.
They call them chomplings.
Chomplings?
Chomplings.
Say that fast three times.
It's like this but smaller.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not gonna buy the smaller ones.
I'm gonna buy the bigger ones.
You're a big meat kind of guy.
What I like is the density of the chew.
You're biting into something.
That ain't no gosh darn lettuce right there.
That's a chomp.
You salad people.
You're missing out.
We're just sitting here enjoying our chomps.
But I gotta give you the deal.
You know there's always a deal.
And here's the deal.

On.
You better order more.
These can be gone by the end of the day.
I'm salivating all over.
I can't even talk.
Sea salt, which is my next victim.
That's in there.
And taco.
When you say next victim are we gonna have a second one right now?
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Why don't you sit back down.
We're gonna be here a while.
Is it a fiesta in your mouth?
What was that little number?
We lost a lot of good soldiers today.
This is what we want.
Get to it.
We gotta go to getting that bullpen.
Do a little bit better cleaning.
It was.
Oh I'm still in hurt.
It was a little sloppy that last time we were in there.
But we've had a couple days of cold.
So solid enough we can get in there without making a mess.
But before we get to that we're gonna feed a couple bales to the bulls here.
Let me put this in high speed.
You gotta press on the brake pedal until you feel like you're about to brake it.
Then you hold down the number 2 button.
And then the hair comes up.
Otherwise known as a rabbit.
Now we're in high speed.
Look at us go.
We're zooming.
Usually I'm the net rep guy but dad is taking that job right now.
Gonna throw down these two grass hay bales and then grab an alfalfa.
Feels like I've been promoted.
What did I do to deserve the comfort of the...
Where are the bulls you ask?
And they got sick of chewing on the leftover ditch hay.
So they're out in the corn stalks grazing.
I'm sure they're on their way now.
They hear the beeping of the machine.
They say, oh we might be getting something good.
It's a nice day out here.
Hopefully softening up some of that hard frozen manure.
Dad's just pulling out the tractor I think.
Gonna hook on and do a little box scraping.
What a change just a couple days ago.
It was so dang sloppy out here.
I couldn't get any traction with that wheel loader.
And then we had those couple days of single digit temps.
And now it's so frozen I can't hardly get anything done.
I'm smoothing it up decent but got some piles here that...
I don't know we might have to try to dig into with the wheel loader.
Took a second load but the bullpen looks nice and smooth now.
Got a big load back here.
Look how high I piled that on that little screen there.
We got some nutrients here.
Scoozy.
Yesterday when we drove through them we thought there's two more
and it looked like they could probably get moved in the barn soon.
When we get all the cows home and all the lots are full
our pump can hardly keep up with all the drinking.
I see they bumped us a little bit.
You really gotta start those early in the morning.
Make sure they're full before everybody starts drinking.
This is the biggest bag I've seen.
So soon we'll be moving a couple of these pairs out.
We're gonna be bringing them to the south farm.
It's a good enough pen to where they got room but it's small enough
to where you don't feel like you're gonna lose a calf.
And good fence so you don't have to worry about
calves squirting through the fence.
This is where we will be bringing the first couple pairs.
First 20ish actually.
Cows can go in the barn.
Gotta feed a bale.
Flowing well for water.
Put this hay in here about 2 years ago.
We'll feed that over the next couple months.
Because we have pairs over here.
They'll probably eat about 2 bales a week.
