About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday, we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Definitely attach the crampons to your boots! Especially with the ankle injury this fall, you are more likely to have stability issues this winter. Take care of yourself, so that you can take care of all of your animals.
Exactly it can take a year or even two for an injured ankle to fully heal and stabilize. I know that because I have been there.
Please be careful with that black ice, I fell and fractured my hip on black ice like that.
@@lisastoran2519I did that as well Lisa. It was horrible.
Yes yes yea. Please be good to that ankle!
Abby: Chaotic Good.
Toby: Lawful Good.
:)
Thankgoodness..finally something to watch that won't put my anxiety thru the roof..GOLD SHAW FARM TO THE RESCUE.😊
That last few seconds really drives that home with Toby standing majestically and Abby with the zoomies
May I suggest that next spring get a backhoe inside your watering area outside the hoopcoop and dig down about four feet. Put the dirt to good use somewhere else and fill the hole with 3/4" crushed rock. Instant drain all winter long - no more mud around the watering hole!
I love this idea! Sounds much safer too!
A lot of birds don't like to walk onstuff like that ...Good idea but I would cover it in soil ... still will drain welll
Not a farmer here, nor do I play one on TV, but wouldn’t that let in the cold and freeze the pipe??
@@janicegunter yes. Landscape cloth and sand and then dirt on top.
Oh gods, no landscape cloth. Never use landscape cloth.
I don't know why but when you call "Rise and grind, weirdos!" I feel so inspired!! Yes! I'm weird too and We're gonna get Shyte Done Today!! Thanks Morgan!!
When the chickens eat, they grind it in their gizzards, right?
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 LOL I didn't even consider that! LOL
Yes, I like that idea of having segments of 'get to know my chickens', I'd enjoy that
Same!! I love birbs
The ducks and geese slipping and sliding when they left the coup....🤣🤣🤣😻😻😻
Needs yakkity sax in the background, lol.
Yes a segment to get to know your chickens! We would love that!
14:20 The audible Abby sniff and then zoom by the camera!😂
Thnx Morgan for including that for those of us who watch till the end of the video!
Needed this video today! Such a cold and rainy day here in NYC I felt right at home in this chilly rainy video! love seeing how acclimated the goats have become too!
I miss Toby he must be off working, glad you had Abbey contained while working with the cattle. 🐂 🐂 Another reminder to be careful on the ice. Have a nice day to you and Allison. 💖
I have an amazing time right with you, Morgan! Love watching your kindness to your animals, and you sharing your chores with us. Every single one of your critters brings me smiles! Thank you!
I loved the dramatic music during the bulls move. Nice touch 😊
The quacken on ice. 😁 A good name for an ice skating TV show or something.
Haha, yes! Another suggestion - Quacken Icecapades. Hehe. 😊
A VIP Chicken spreadsheet and maybe family tree may be useful for us trying to follow along…😊😊😊
Ice skating ducks and geese was the content I didn't know I needed today.
Would love a 'get to know my chicken's vlog!" Winter days are slower and that would be a nice addition to your regular planed releases. 🐔
I would love to see a series of you introducing individual animals!
No way that your way of farming is the worst way !.....To this old man your way is AMAZING.....Thank you Morgan.....
Old Shoe🇺🇸
LOL The Weird Chicken Funk was a surprise! 😂
On average, about 22 people are killed by cows in the United States each year. In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reports that four to five people are killed in accidents involving cattle each year.
That's low enough to be on par with "struck by lightning" unalivings.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 But is standing in a cattle yard the equivalent of standing outside during a storm with a metal pole - I'm not sure, but the odds of being killed by cattle have to go up if you work on farm with cattle.
I love how you have learned to take it easy with the cows
Good job with the boys Morgan, and I’m glad you’re giving the girls a larger space for a few more days. Are you planning to put up a protective barrier from the elements, I hope so. Thanks for taking us along🐄🐄🐕🐓🐐🦆🪿💕👍
Morgan has ordered frames for his corral covers. If you notice the fence looks like a square wave, there will be covers for the winter, then later he can isolate moms and calves while the get vaccines and build immunity.
As a Canadian I always appreciate that you put Celsius on the screen when talking about the weather hahah
❤❤❤ Morgan, you and Allison stay warm, dry, and safe this winter. We all love watching you and your farm. Be easy on Alfred if he doesn't finish the project before the worst of the weather sets in and he cannot run his heavy equipment. Stay warm and safe everyone ❤
Loved the update. Don't be taking chances on that ice.
I could watch cows and weird chickens all day. Goats too! 😊😊😊😊
Deb is a weird chicken who lives with the Weird Chickens. If you get some more hens like that, they can be the Weird Sisters.
Like the idea of meeting some of the snimals. Refresh my memory.
Maybe now that the boys have more room they’ll be less fighting.
Do the goats go into their shed at night?
Are you going to wrap the bottom sections with tarp where the fence is exposed to wind? That would help if you’re trying to protect and give your herd a break from the elements.
Lol all the questions I had
i love the way you treat your cattle.
Morgan, Deb's got an ear-tuft, from the Araucana heritage. Ain't something you can blame on Abby. Good thing you didn't cut it. Love your video's!
4:58 is that Tom Jones, or just in the style of Tom Jones? How did you do that?
10:18 secret weapon
11:30 I love when you let your cows „win“ the contest of wills every now and then, and then they follow you the next day. This is the way.
A very cool channel is Gold Shaw Farm. Loveable.
My eggmobile got blown over last night, which was crazy, and fell onto one of my goats. I had to put him down this morning. Really sucked
Oh no!!! I am so very sorry. 😢
I'm sorry for your loss
What a horrible accident
So sorry.
That is heartbreaking. I am so sorry. 😢
I appreciate your transparency and reality. I’m not into sugarcoating.
I like the idea of an occasional feature of introduction to one of the animals (not only the chickens). You could give far more detail and history than we get in your usual vids?
In the last couple of videos I've found myself wondering if you ever regret getting cattle with killer horns? Once you've got the Charolais used to you, you'll realise how much easier cows without horns are!
Highlands are generally non aggressive and far more likely to just butt you a little ...obviously those horns can do damage but highlands seem to forget they have those much more than other horned cattle. TLDR .. if you got hurt by a horn it would probably be an accident and the cow would feel bad about it
Lovely update thanks for the sniffs SMR Abbydog xx
Yes, I too agree that not having Farmdog moments of Zen is not a great way to Farm
an idea for your permanent water spots.... dig out a hole bigger than your water tubs and put a metal grid over the hole. it needs to be strong enough to hold your animals and with small enough mesh to not be a danger for their feet. the water can than easily flow over witout creating a risk for mud or ice.
Love how you name all your animals with old band members or old movies I know. 😅😅
As usual you make life a little better watching the farm growing .
If you have enough fencing maybe try an airlock type approach? Get the 2 young ones inside it before opening the main fence to the herd.
Greatly enjoyed! Slow incremental changes in the herd. Easy peasy! 😊❤
Thanks again Morgan…I love seeing you do all of your farm work..the cattle look amazing..they all have their own personalities don’t they..Thankyou for sharing 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Your chickens are special they are a joy to see they are pretty
“You two boys”🐮🐮RUclips boys!
Historical temps for 12/12 in Burlington, VT according to wunderground - Historical average high 36 degrees, Average Historical Low 22.
Productivity gurus don’t have adhd though- science says that adhders and other neurodynamic people prosper and get more done with easier wins first that gives us dopamine.
I love the friendships cows have, I know less about bulls and steers, but they’re just so lovely.
WOODCHIPS - FYI if you're spreading the wood chips in your hoop coop, it may be detrimental if you want to grow stuff in there. Wood chips not only take a very long time to break down, but they also suck all the nitrogen out of the soil in the process. You may be better off letting them compost somewhere else for a year or so and then bring them into the hoop coop. I work for a landscaping company and we have to deal with that when our clients have put down wood chips and can't figure out why their plants are not thriving.
He’s putting them on the outside where it becomes an overly sloppy mud puddle.
Get to know my chickens, I would love that!
With the temperature being cold enough to freeze water , why dump the old water and bath water near where you to walk? Wouldn't dumping it around the fence line be better?
Great video - thank you.
Saw a great idea for goats hay. Use plastic clothes hamper. The popular kind with holes on the front side. Just hang it with brackets so the goats can't pull it down. Freezing rain is so dangerous. Back in the70's the Willamette Valley was a mess most every winter.
I'm enjoying watching you mature ..good job 👍
Thank you for updating us on the chicken .....❤😊
Crampons definitely are your friend. Baby that ankle over the winter/spring when you're walking in the frozen mud.
Taking a frozen hose and attach the male and female end and pull it into a heated room is a standard farm solution for the whoops the hose had some water left in it.
2:42 we can all hear the cranky hungry ducks n geese 😂
But we see an adorable monster 😂
@TheArchaicFuture 🤣😁🤣😄😁🤣😆😆
From what i understand of dopamine its better to start with a small task, the dopamine hit from completing it makes you want more and seek out other challenges to conquer. So there is a sort of momentum as the dopamine hits get bigger.
So first a fast and easy task, THEN the hardest task, then everything else?
@PredictableEnigma from what I understand yes, I learned this from the Hubermab lab podcast. He talks about dopamine a lot. But if you listen to his podcast with David Goggins they talk about the part of the brain that gets bigger when you do hard things you don't really want to do. So Morgan's approach of doing the hardest thing first falls more under that umbrella imo, still a legit way to get stuff done.
Your chicken song- top tier!❤
Your video is really interesting. This is the first time I've seen such a unique cow
Always enjoy your farm life‼️
Be safe ❤love the stories about the animals
Your cattle herd has really grown! ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Great video!
You need some Australian shepherds for herding!! They are great dogs as are Great Pyrenees and LGDs!❤❤ I have had both! Love your channel!!
I identify with Deb. She's a conventional creature who is most comfortable living amongst the weird.
This video was everything!!! I am in Loveeeee with everyone on the farm. hehe good job Morgan you rock!!!
Getting to know the chickens sounds nice!
Positives on Chicken(or bird of the day) segments: You Tube content and background data for future books Negatives: more computer files to maintain, more photo ops for profile cover photos. There is a bad dad joke here somewhere. Didn't old time photographers used to say, "look at the birdie" which might be problematic when said to a chicken, duck or goose.
In summer they had a shade mobile.. i think they deserve snow mobile in winter...
They have access to the barn for shelter??
@nancyparker8363 now they don't have that
They had the barn, but never bothered to use it. They are fine. Plus, he said in the video (as well as explaining in detail in a previous video) that he will be making them shelters but they are still on order and should arrive in a couple of days.
Cows are pretty hardy animals. As noted, they probably won’t use the barn much, so a wind screen would be better if you’re gonna do something.
New to this channel and love the content. Was wondering is these animals are sold for food?
I thought that chaotic goof only liked white? 🤔 Debs story did put a smile on my face, I think you did the right thing by NOT cutting off the wound area, I also think she's much in a protected area and may have been bullied in the normal roaming area but I could be wrong 😉 ❤❤❤❤❤
7:01 okay okay a lot less talking and more feeing, you can hear all the crankiness
Again I didn't see Bean eating with the rest 😢😢😢😢😢
I thought macho man was halter trained?
I remember Morgan halter training one of them when he was little, but was it him?
Yep, but if you don't keep it up...
I dont think he wants to be leading him on a halter when Joey and Macho Man start fighting.
Training goes away with lack of training
Highland cows ❤ but then throw Morgan into the Mix😂

Good Luck
I can't imagine raising any animal i am so afraid of.
Farm needs more weird chickens to maximize the ZEN 👍
somebody help me here i looked all over the internet and couldn't find the answer why do people keep steers?
To eat
For meat, or for company, or to help graze an area.
Last fall Morgan didn’t think Joey looked very hardy for processing so he got a reprieve. I thought he was headed to the butcher around the same time as the pigs.
If you have more than one bull they will fight so fiercely they can kill each other. If only one is a bull and the rest are steers the fights are not as aggressive. Then even though the steers will eventually be meat they can be around longer to grow bigger. More than one intact bull is no joke, we had two bulls once under two years old and they pushed each other around so badly one fell or was shoved in a way that broke his hip. He had to be put down and dressed out in the middle of our very not level and somewhat in the woods pasture in snow. It was miserable, and a shame he had to suffer even though we put him down pretty quickly. The snow probably didn’t help with whatever caused the injury. We had friends who really came through, they had a butchering business and although they didn’t usually do field work and mostly processed wild game they couldn’t see letting an animal that size go to waste. Country people are there for each other.
Plan the way you are herding the cattle, and always point gates inwards to the area you want the cattle to go, not out!
Bird seed is actually pretty good to make the ice less slippery. Well, the nuts with the shells help and there's something... it melts into the ice. Not like salt, but it's better than nothing and that's all I had in my car, a bag of bird seed and ice everywhere.
Sand?
I’m surprised your steer didn’t go to the freezer earlier this fall. I remember him getting a reprieve last year due to size, but must have missed it this year.
I can't remember but aren't you going to process the steer? You should get a black Angus steer. Best steak and burgers in the world.
Hey, Morgan. Maybe it is time you do videos re-introducing your flock animals. Since Sampson and the peking ducks you used to raise; the only ducks i recognize now, are Frank and Beanie. Do your geese have names or just called meatbirds. 😂 enjoy watching your videos, man! 🤙
when will the steer go to freezer camp?
If he's investing in extra winter food this year, then probably before next winter I guess...
This is really cool I
like it.❤❤❤❤
Good looking
I know this video is about the cattle... but can we get more duck and geese ice skating, please? hehe - Dakota & Angela
Wonderful video! What is it like having the geese, ducks and chickens all together? Are there any cross-species conflicts that arise?
Instead of having the gates wide open, like you have done, Maybe face the gates so the form a \ / with the point facing into the yard, you want to put your cattle into. Like a sheep trap. If you Google sheep trap, it should come up. It'll make less likely for the other cattle to get out.
Those are some happy cows!
Makes for a great day when things go as planned especially with animals
Farming is fluid - the path of least resistance prevails.
I could watch the cattle all day
Where do you get all these songs? Like the weird chicken song.
So when will Joey Ramone head for freezer camp?
I think I’m the Abbey of my family 😅 5:08 I would watch the hell outta the “get to know my chickens” segment. 8:48 weird optical illusion that makes it look like a tree is walking across behind Morgan. 🧐 I like the little bear logo on the screen when you minimise the window 🐻
You should make a chicken dating videos. profiles for all your chickens! help diversify the population!
Love it 😍
Your farming style with cows is I believe, far more influential than you may believe. I saw in Australia a person showing how to communicate with cattle to get them herded rather than the usual forcing snd driving them about. So not the worst way to farm.
